Tower!3D: KMCO Runway and Taxiway Configuration

[FS1TR]

Will someone please describe or post a link to normal runway and taxiway operations at KMCO?

The runway configuration at KMCO s pretty standard - inner runways for departures (south ops 17R/18L, north ops 35L/36R) and outer runways for arrivals (south ops 17L/18R, north ops 35R/36L). If traffic allows west ramp may depart from 18R or 36L.  Again, depending on traffic volume the inner runways may be used for arrivals to reduce taxi time.

Typically ground control is split east/west but we don't have that luxury ... yet. :) In my opinion,  there are 3 taxiways that require the most attention. Taxiway J is bidirectional, enough said. As best as I can tell, in between the inner runways taxiway E is used for west bound traffic and taxiway F is used for east bound traffic.  

That's pretty high-level but should get you started. Enjoy!

FS1TR,

Craig has given you good advice but as you also asked for a link, try this.

These are available for most of the T3D airports.

Interesting idea of triple simultaneous approaches. Something definitely to try in the sim.
