Created a scenario with 12 A/C departing RODN at 1 min intervals (old
war story). Two runways...5L & 5R. ATC sends 6 planes form one side of
the field to 5L where they line up and take off as expected. A/C from
other side of the field are sent to 5R where they lime up but never call
ATC and sit there until they disappear.
I'm still mired in the old days of FS9...

disappear. Destinations have plenty of parking spaces & AFCAD for all
locations indicate "no faults". Tried changing destinations around with
same result. Gotta be a problem with the 2nd runway? Any thoughts?

Thanks

Bob, it has been a loooong time since I messed with any FS9 afcads but I
believe you will have to research how to create an afcad that enables
parallel runways. I looked on flightsim but did not see where anyone has
posted such afcad for RODN.

Might read some here:

I opened the FSX version of RODN. Both runways are enabled for take off and
landings. I used ADE to open and explore the field.

I've seen this type of thing happen when the taxi link to
the runway is not complete. I had that happen at Hobby on one
of the runways.. The planes would taxi fairly close to the
beginning of the runway, but couldn't finish access the runway,
so they would just sit there and block traffic..
It's been so long, I forgot exactly what I had to do to fix it,
but it was a "link" of sorts from the taxiway to the runway.
It was missing, so the planes couldn't finish the taxi to the runway.
This will happen in FSX too, as the traffic setup is basically
the same.

Thanks guys...

I tried closing runway 5R to takeoffs with AFCAD. ATC then routed
everybody to the opposite end (23R & L), using both runways and all took
off OK. Haven't tried to see what happens when they return. Strange
stuff this Flight Simulator!
