Are there any future plans to include KIND as an option?

If you have to issue a go-around (which should be very rare at LAX with the seperate landing and departing runways) you can assign a heading to avoid other a/c.

 

You should plan and time so you do not have this eventually, do not clear a departure if an arrival may conflict. Aircraft in the air have priority over aircraft on the ground, Once you get a routine going it becomes quite easy to manage.

 

With fly xyz heading after departure the ac will turn the most direct route to the assigned heading. if 360, then it will turn right, if 180 then left, it makes no difference which runway they are on.

I'm curious about your "...with separate landing and departing runways" comment and wondered if you could explain it further please.  I have found no way to force arrivals to a certain runway and it seems as if it is completely random in my experience.  I can certainly direct aircraft to a specific runway for departure and do that regularly.  Is there a setting I'm missing, or could you explain how you make this departure scenario work on your end?  Thanks very much.

That is a limitation.  However, you can edit the 747 file to shorten the takeoff distance.  Look in the Tower folder for "Airplanes."  Inside that folder is an app call "planeEd.exe."  You can run that and open the four 747 type files and shorten the takeoff distance.  I think the default is about 9000 feet so try making it 8000 and see what happens.  Since they are in the RDU and BOS schedules, that means they actually fly there in real-life.

Thanks for the follow up, Dick.  I think it is only one version of the 747 that throws out the message but I'm not in front of my PC to check right now.  I'll do what you've explained as that seems to be the easiest and most logical choice.  

 

Thanks again for everything.

I'm new to using the schedule creator so I may be a bit behind with this issue, but I wanted to see what others were doing if/when they encounter it.  The schedule creates flights for the 747 which seems to create an issue at some of the airports I've purchased, specifically KRDU and KBOS so far.  When instructed to taxi to the runway, they reply that the runway is not long enough for takeoff and refuse the instruction.  I've tried with the longest runway available at each airport, but apparently they are not long enough for a 747 to take off.

 

I have edited the 747 out of any schedule at these airports and replaced it with another large aircraft that is able to takeoff/land at the airport.  I was wondering if that is the easiest/best solution or are their aircraft/airport specific edits I could make to allow for the 747 operation.  If you've encountered this issue, what have you done for a fix?
