I really wish people on expert would use the correct runways at LHR especially the atc all it takes is one look at FR24 and you will know especially when you get forced to the wrong runway
Hi there,
Of course all controllers wish to keep their controlling style as closely as possible to realistic operations. However, sometimes in IF, the traffic flow may burgeon to a very high level that real world operation cannot accommodate, when controllers have to alter runway configuration for high quality service
Hope this can answer to your doubts ![]()
I completely agree. LHR’s real-world runway operations are usually much more structured, with one runway primarily being used for arrivals and the other for departures depending on the wind and the active configuration, rather than constantly mixing both on both runways. The approaches should also be a bit more realistic and reflect how LHR actually operates. It would definitely make the Expert server experience feel much closer to real-world operations.
LHR is inherently very busy with traffic, so I think that implementing the actual procedures, runway usage methods, regulations, and manuals of LHR as much as possible could be more helpful in managing traffic and adjusting spacing.
In expert ATC made us always go to 09R or L (we barely face bad wind on 27L, 27R, 09L, 09R) but when I lost access to expert for 1 year and didn’t get appealed I played ATC in training server and made people taxi to 09L or 09R, depending on what gate they pushback from and what direction I make them pushback to
