Hi,
I'm looking for a tool to determine the active rwy(s) of a given airport other the one I'm currently on without moving the aircraft. There seems to be nothing out there so I'm thinking about writing such a tool. But I'm unsure whether it's possible with the abilities of FSUIPC. There are two problems:
1) Can I access the neccessary ATC information via FSUIPC? Maybe there is a data block containing the current ATIS data?
2) How can I obtain these data for an airport at a different location?
Thanks anf greetings from Germany,
Tom.

Pete,
thank you for your quick response.
I will take a look into the revised SDK. My basic intension is the following: If programming a FMC (e. g. PMDG737) you have to enter a rwy where you intend to arrive. Until now I checked the METAR at the destination and guessed the active rwy. But there is always a big chance to guess wrong, even if there are no changes in weather conditions while flying, because I don't know the rules how MS determines the active. So I would need this information for airports beyond the AI range. If I understood you correctly, that will not be possible?
Regards, Tom.
