New behaviour. Always spawning on runway

[Magic6420]

After a quickish look around the forum to see whether anybody else is having this happen, I wonder if the assembled brains trust here can help or comment?

A new behaviour over the last few days has me wondering. It is now seemingly not possible to spawn at parking or on the ramp. It always spawns me ready and on the active, this despite a different airfield and in different aircraft too. Anyone seen this themselves or have any ideas?

Another issue over a similar timescale is giving me the GPU overheating/driver issue CTD or lock up for the first time ever. Seems to be the Analog Kingair most badly affected. DX12 and a 3080 here. I am not a big mod user and nothing of note seems to have changed recently. If anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance everybody!

You mean you select a parking spot to spawn, but when starting the flight you find yourself on the runway completely running?
Happens since last SU to me.
I usually first pick a spot and then select the aircraft to fly, this seem to trigger the bug. If you re-select the parking spot after choosing your plane, you spawn as you should (at least that’s what I found out so far)

Cracker. Thanks very much! That might work for me too, as this last few days I have been switching aircraft quite often and that order, with selection of A/C after selecting the parking spot is something that I might be a bit guilty of. Am away from the sim as domestic duties call, but will try that.

That’s great, but it’s still a bug, and it needs de-bugging

There’s also something odd when you try to spawn as an approach but it puts you several thousand feet to high…

There is a bug report for this. It is in the bug tracker:

Changing Aircraft or Livery After Choosing a Parking Spot for C&D Changes the Departure Point to the Default Runway

No Brief description of the issue: If you choose a parking spot as a departure point at an airport and then change aircraft, the departure point will change to the default runway in the FROM section.

I would never have found that and nor did I realise that it was in fact, a bug. Thank you for your guidance.

I have this too. At first I though it was me, that I forgot to select the parking, but indeed, sometimes it happens, since SU 12.

I usually make my flight plan using Little Nav Map & modify it using Navigraph. when I am happy with the plan I put in the parking spot but not the departing runway. Then save it & load this into the sim. It always spawns on the inputted parking spot. I put in the departure runway/SID after receiving the ATIS.
