When I do what I did in 2020 here in fs2024 by selecting the gate/parking spot/helipad to depart from and click fly now my engines are always on and running in both aircraft and helicopters and sometimes it puts me in the runway instead of the spot I selected. I would like to start with all systems off and go through the normal checklist. What do I do to make sure I can start at the spot I selected and start with all systems off? I do not see any settings for this. I am selecting the departure point at one of the parking spots/gates/helipads and still having this issue with the engines and systems being on and running. This is all in Free Play

If I use a parking spot on any airport I see this
and the engine is not started
But on heliports and gates it does not work

See that report for helicopters when starting at an heliport/helipad: Helipads AND heliports won't allow a helicopter to start Cold & Dark
For aircraft, if you start at a gate/parking you should always start C&D, there is no known issue where spawning at those locations you are already into the plane with the engine on. Or could you provide the steps to reproduce ?

I’ll have to take a video to show you the steps. I select my aircraft, I click the parking area/gate/helipad and select departure. Then I will click fly now. It loads the aircraft at the parking spot or sometimes it just puts me on the active runway with engines running ready for takeoff. Or it will have engines on and ready for taxi. I’ll get a video when I get back home later.
It doesn’t make sense to start in a helipad with a helicopter with the engines started, they should give the possibility to enter the helipad in cold and dark.
