Aircraft Hot Starts on Wrong Runway

Featured Replies

I have my aircraft set to hot start from the Departure Runway that I choose in MSFS Scenario set Up.

However, lately, without exception, the aircraft are spawning at the opposite end of the chosen runway.

I just set up a flight from Alicante (LEAL), to depart from Rwy 28, but it has spawned at Rwy 10.

This is occurring across different aircraft & airports. 

Is there a setting somewhere I have reversed?

Only thing I've noticed is, if I pick the parking spot / runway to take off from and then change airplane, livery or anything, it doesn't remember the spot I clicked. Then it just seems to put me on a random runway, no matter what. So gotta make sure the plane, livery and all settings are correct and then I click the starting position as the very last thing.

I'll try that.

May be something that happened after SU15.

If you get FStarter24 from simmarket.com you can change the starting position + a lot of other settings.

One method that ensures you start at a runway of your choosing is to also use a SID in World Map Planner dropdown and associate it with the runway you wish to depart from.

Avsim user tip:

Make sure you have the setting ATC ENFORCE FLIGHTPLAN set to ON under Assistance Options > User Experience. If that setting is off, the sim picks the runway for takeoff.

This did the trick for me and others.

That worked, thank you.

What happened is that I had a small update come through & I added a new aircraft, & somewhere in all of that all my "Assistance" settings were turned "On".  & I had to go through them & take them back to "Hard" or "Off", which turned off the ATC Enforce you referred to.
