Cant select parking stand if loading .pln file in msfs

Thank you using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

no

Brief description of the issue:

Make a FFL in Simbrief. Download FPL. Load FPL in msfs (world map, more…). Try to select a gate/stand. It always puts you on RWY-line.
Walkaround is to select a random spawn point away from the airport. Then go back and select a gate/stand. It then (sometimes) allowes you to start at gate/stand.

Are you changing aircraft in between doing any of this?

[Fornax4188]

Selecting A/C first. Then load FPL in msfs.

[MrFuzzy1337]

This. If you don’t change aircraft, it keeps the setting.
I start from gate cold and dark every day.

No

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

I tried to test this and could not reproduce it. I first tested it by loading a generic .PLN file created from the world map and it worked, then I imported a .PLN file from Simbrief and all was normal.

Are you using DX11 or DX12?

DX11

I have it every time I load .pln (from SB) into msfs.
Plan loads fine into msfs; now select parking spot:
Bam! It selects starting position to RWY.

Similar problems:

After Update 11 cant start flight from gates

after i load FP from Simbrief, i am not able to start from gates, it doesnt allow me to select any , imidiately return selection to RWY in use…Also, before update, when i lčoad plan from simbrief, and whn i zoom to depo airport to choose gate, and when i select gate, it imidiately changes that flightplan with its own…

World map Issue. Impossible to choose a gate when SID is selected

Yep getting the exact same problem here, tried flying out of Toronto pearson CYYZ, select my spot (zoom to details), and it will suggest a departure, but then, as soon as i modify the departure, it will change the parking spot to the relative runway and you cant change back. Tried again from Ottowa CYOW, and again noticed when CHANGING the SID it goes to runway. This is probably why you cant replicate, if you use the suggested/default SID, try changing it

Might be something with letting SB select SID/STAR…? Will have to check…

No problems with selecting gate when I DON’T load a .pln into msfs first.

Maybe last post can help:

Flight plan Departure gates/DCT

Yes, you should be able to, mine does. Zoom to details of your departure airport and select your spot. It will not indicate it in the left hand “From” display though, and you will need to reselect a proper departure from the right hand departure one. Hitting “Fly Now” will launch the sim with the correct flight plan and at the selected location.

Maybe stupid question, are you in windowed mode and do you use multiscreen or monitor setup,
If so and this happens see if your windows have not shift so fit them on your monitor and see if you can control again

[Fornax4188]

Nah, fullscreen, 1 monitor.
Managed to get it working now. Changed some settings in SB. Then back again.
Then changed “Force ATC fpl” in msfs, tried ON then OFF then ON again.

No more problems (on this load-in at least).
Think something has changed. Before when trying to select a gate msfs used 2-3sec to ‘think’, before it reverted to RWY-start. Now when selecting gate it goes instantly.

Think we can close this for now…
Tnx for help guys!
