Runway design

[Arggers]

I might be missing something, but what's the point of this bit of runway? (Circled)

Nothing uses it?

Esthetics, good neighbour.

Maybe will be used with new events in the future or as captain say Esthetics, good neighbour.

In case they have to do emergency landings coming in from the other end, the planes will use this access road to get the terminal! thats the only reason it faces backwards;

See, half of me wants to say "But the game says they all land from the south west, so that's irrelevant"...

...but then the other half of me says "Oh god, don't give GI ideas - the collision routines are, at best, substandard already!"

My answer is far more esthetically pleasing, good neighbours.

But not logical given flight directions. Only reason in real life it would be there is for planes landing from other direction!

They could be using that wasted tarmac for this bit...otherwise everyone is going to extend the same way...

Indeed, the idea is to mimic a pseudo-real airport so the layout should look like it can take aircraft from either end. I doubt GI would touch any suggestion to make that happen when the AI on the aircraft movements still have many tweaks to be made.

Maybe in near future GI will let us upgrade it to a two-way runway =))
