Hi.In the screen where you select your starting airport there is a box at the bottom left of the screen which allows you to select a runway or a gate at the airport you are at :D just scroll down a bit in the menu.Hope this helps!Mark! :)

If you open it there will be selections for "Active Runway", ##(L or R) runway and possibly water runways, but no parking access. For the smaller airports this is very much the norm and not the exception; at least here in the Pacific NW.

... in this case what you can do is set up a flight, click "Fly Now," then slew the aircraft to your desired starting position.

AFCAD will allow you to define your own parking areas for those airports without them, or add/modify the ones that do.
