Your placement of the rwyuse file looks correct. I have never understood exactly how the wind interacts with the rwyuse file, but it is this section of the rwyuse.xml:
- Code: Select all
<gen> <!-- General Aviation -->
<wind tail="7"
cross="20"/>
<time start= "00:00"
end = "24:00"
schedule = "general"/>
</gen>
The above is just for the General Aviation section of the rwyuse. There would be another for the Com or Commercial Aviation section.
I am not sure, but the wind tail and cross parameters may indicate tolerances (in knots?). In other words, your 5 mph would be within the tolerance, so the "normal" runway assignment would be used. Outside of this "tolerance", the runway assignment would change to the next runway specified.
I could be way off base here but have tried to get an answer as to how this part of the rwyuse affects the behavior and so far have not been able to. I would suggest first checking your rwyuse to see if it reads the same as above. If so, then set the wind to a stronger value, say more than 20 knots, then try again. I've never experimented myself but have seen changes in the runway used when the wind direction changes. I'd be interested in the results if you try it.
