Wind Direction/Runway selection

[Highbury]

Example:

KSAN with Runway 9 selected for arrivals from the start screen, but the wind still favors 27.

I know others have asked for a user defined wind angle and that would be great, but if we select only one direction for arrivals at the start screen can we please just get wind that favors the selected runways.

Just select Clear and the winds will be so calm it doesn't matter what runways you choose.

But isn't that the point? The winds SHOULD dictate the direction of flight operations.

The issue I have (similar) is I selected Stormy weather in Philly (because it's NOT Always Sunny in Philadelphia...) and HAD to select a runway prior to launching the game.

Why be forced to pick a runway if the winds are going to dictate changing it from the get-go?

The winds should come first, then we select the appropriate runway.

The point is development is complete for Tower!3D Pro. The idea of user selectable winds is not new ... but it ain't gonna happen until FeelThere decides to come out with Pro II or Revenge of the Pro or whatever they call it.

And your issue is not an issue. As soon as the session loads, you can easily change the active runways.

I've selected Random Weather settings at KLAS at least 10 times in a row to test something out. What bothers me with wind is that under Random settings, the Wind is ALWAYS in the same general direction. Maybe I want some wind but want to use a different runway configuration? Maybe i want it to be stormy and going in a different direction?
I think another nice thing would be "developing" or "changing" weather, doesnt have to be crazy but would be nice.

The amsing irony of OPs complaint is that KSAN runs the 27s about 99% of the time.

The amazing thing about your comment is your failure to understand I am requesting a feature in software, not a report on prevailing winds at KSAN.

When the time will come we'll open a wishlist topic for the new version. We have an internal list and anything from the wishlist that is suitable will likely make it to the next version. This is not a new request, but thank you for the ideas.
