I know one spot, maybe there is another one. Departing aircrafts,
with groundspeed > 60 NMPH get their departure runway cleared. We assume, that aircrafts on ground go slower than that until they actually start
That explains one of my "dislikes" with the Flight-plans!
Right now assigning a SID displays directly that SID on OR - and the best is:
* only that SID is shown if "STAR/SID" (in line at bottom) and "Start,SID" at Runway-Assignment are both disabled
* That disappears as soon the the RW is reset (because the SID depends on runway!)
* You then must enable those two Options to see the SID within all the SIDs belonging to that runway! - and that means on big airports it is getting very very crowded - hardly to control!
i.e. I usually do not activate the "Start,SID" (at runway setting) - thus just the SID of the active plane is displayed - thus I can estimate very easy what his route is and if there is crossing traffic. That is wonderful (as long as the plane is on GND (or slow)) - afterwards that becomes very difficult!
Why do you reset the runway? I cannot think of any need for that!
If there is a need for that because in FP there is only 1 runway-field (for Arrival+Departure) than we should use 2! But I do not see a need for that: As it is, it is very easy to reassign the wanted runway for departure/arrival! (An ATC that is confused about the "still" indicated departure runway - can always reassign with a single mouse-click.
Please erase that reset of the runway!
