• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AI takes off on wrong part of runway

I've been working on reworking the taxiways and adding parking to a naval air station that I like to fly out of. After putting a lot of parking in, I decided to make some test AI to see if they'd actually taxi where they were supposed to. Everything was fine until I changed the wind to use runway 7R. Although runways 01, 19, and 25L worked fine (did not test 7L and 25R), 7R misbehaved. Instead of taxiing to the end of the runway, they simply got on the runway near where they started, and took off on a very short runway.

The diagram below shows the path I watched a fighter take. Of course, this has me quite puzzled. Everything seems to be in order. 7R doesn't have anything different than any of the other runways. Later I'm going to close 7R/25L to see if 7L and 25R do anything wrong. Has anyone seen something like this before? I'll provide the XML if it needs to be. Just thought I'd see if it was something silly I'd missed first.

Are your hold short nodes farther toward the head of the runway within 225 feet of the runway?

As near as I can see - some might be a bit too far back.

Also, are there any breaks in the runway link line, any segments without the proper runway assignment?

Would the hold short nodes need to be within 225 feet of the runway centerline? The one down at the beginning of 7R is 212 feet from the centerline though.

And now while I was preparing this reply, I discovered about half of 07R's segments are labeled 01R. That must be my problem there. Must have looked at "01" and seen "07" for some reason. Wouldn't be the first time I looked for a complex answer to a simple problem (like the time I was testing a hard drive in a college class and I couldn't get the thing to work, two of my friends couldn't, and the professor couldn't before someone wandered by and said "...you didn't connect the power to it").

Edit: that did the trick. My test F/A-18s and Learjets taxied down to the beginning of 7R just like they were supposed to. Thanks for the help.
