Post subject:  "Silent" Runway Change
Hi,

though I assume this is already a known issue and it is corrected in the current beta version, just to make sure I attach my logs here for you to have a look.

Approaching KSFO I was cleared for approach to runway 19L. I did not hear anything else from ATC after that (not even speed restrictions). On final to runway 19L I manually switched to Tower (because my FO on mode 2 did not do it autonomously) and requested landing clearance. I was told to continue the approach. On short final I was cleared to land - on runway 10L. (I landed on 19L anyway).

By the way thanks to the whole team for your great continued work! Looking forward to the next update (which hopefully is close to release ;) !

Regards

Ralf

You were initially cleared for 19L (at pilot's discretion), but the log shows rapid and frequent wind shifts (every minute or so) at your destination airport, causing PF3 to repeatedly change the active runway. I don't know if the constant wind changes had anything to do with your not being notified, but the rapid wind shifts are an issue experienced by other users and can be addressed by adjusting settings in your weather add-on. If you have already made the changes to the settings in AS2016, I'm unsure of the reason for the constant wind shifts.

As far as the active runway being changed after clearance at-pilot's-discretion is given, I'll have to defer to Dave on that, to see if something needs to be changed.
