The very first issue is finding out which AI Planes exhibit the best air/cfg characteristics. The Approaches written for RWY 10 are a little more complex for the AI Traffic because of the hill that they have to clear. All AI Planes tested execute this approach with no problems. This is a curved approach that brings the AI Planes over the bay waters with a right 45 degree turn to short final. If you make RWY 28 the active then all AI Planes fly the ILE FREGATE approach. The most challanging one is the left downwind to RWY 28 at 800 ft as per the Charts (Pain De Sucre).ĪI Traffic approaches have also been written for St.Barts.

Of course these are for the User and ATC will vector you to any of these approaches. If you open the GPS Receiver it will show you all the available approaches that have been added to the database for St. Barts (TFFJ) using the FS2004 (FS9) version of FlyTampa TNCM. However, a lot of work was put into the approaches for St. I am monitoring the forum and gathering information based on User's to see if there is a need to harden both RWY09 and 27 for the AI Aircraft. This includes both versions for FS9 and FSX. Nothing was done (yet) with the approaches for TNCM. If this fails then you could possibly have a second AFCAD TNCM embedded somewhere in your FS9 folders that is confusing the active runway.Īdding to what Martin has already posted. I use 8 kts as a standard when testing runways. This will force FS to reload (black Bar moving left to right) and change the wind settings so AI will spawn in the active zone and now be vectored by ATC for RWY 09.Īlso listen to ATIS which will tell you which runway is the active based on the wind setting.

That by itself will not set the winds to 090 so open the drop down menu and change the heading of your aircraft in the map mode by one degree. Now set the winds for runway 09 (winds from the EAST at 090). When you arrive at TNCM that wind setting is still in the memory of FS.Ĭhanging the wind setting is not enough and you must reload FS for any new wind setting to take effect. When you startup FS9 it uses the wind setting from your default startup flight. One of the reasons that AI will use the recip of RWY 09 is that the winds are set for that runway.
