KORD runway entry points for 28R/22L

Whenever atc is online at KORD and they are using BOTH of the normal departure runways 28R and 22L, they always seem for forget that realistically, there is a jetblast danger zone. When you draw a taxi path for the aircraft departing from 28R, you need to send them to a specific intersection to takeoff.

Given we don’t have jet blast simulated on the multiplayer servers - this isn’t something we need to worry about.

We try to give all aircraft the opportunity for a full length departure - since we have no way of knowing how heavy they are (and the drag/taxi system does this by default).

but that runway is very long. its is 13000 ft long in fact. even with the intersection takeoff, the distance is almost 10000ft long, that is definitely enough for heavy aircraft to takeoff from. I was once given a violation for asking to takeoff from that intersection (that was successfully appealed since i was flying realistically and wasnt bothering anybody) so I think it might be important that controllers are aware of this? it seems they never are?

in the warning shown when spawning into the expert server, it says that real world procedures apply and will be enforced by atc. I personally think its important that atc do their best to inform themselves/eachother of and apply real world procedures, like such, so that we, the user can have as realistic an experience as possible.
