I know that I can just right click on the gate I want to spawn at by going to the gate on the map and right clicking. It is then supposed to show a menu where you can set the gate as departure. For me it does not work at all. It is blanked out even when right clicking on the gate. I also create the flight plan using the description.

You have to right click at the center of the parking spot. Otherwise the menu item is disabled.

Also check if you do not have "Use Navigraph for all features" selected in the scenery library menu. The Navigraph database does not contain parking spots and you probably see only gates from the background map like the OpenStreet map. "Use Navigraph for navaids" and procedures is the default mode.

It was the airports show option that was trying to screw things up. Thanks for the help though

I see. Thanks for feedback. I forgot this one.🙃
