Is runway direction controllable in the mission builder? Canned missions often land you into the sun. I haven't noticed if they are necessarily into the wind.

take off/landings are determined by the wind set by the mission builder, they will use the runway that is nearest to pointing into wind

Wind direction in fmb is not intuitive:devilish:
0 deg = wind from west.
angle added to this rotates wind counterclockwise so 90 deg would be from South.

If you use a 'custom' airfield with no runways planes will takeoff directly into wind
