SimBrief flightplans change when selecting cold & dark start at a gate

This is very frustrating issue. It’s fixable, but you must manually edit the pln file creted by simbrief with a text editor.

Add the following right below line starting with DepartureName. Edit as necessary to match airport.

    <DeparturePosition>GATE B 8 PARKING NONE</DeparturePosition>

Then delete the following two lines from the first ATC waypoint.

        <RunwayNumberFP>24</RunwayNumberFP>
        <RunwayDesignatorFP>LEFT</RunwayDesignatorFP>

Then load the plan.

If there’s an easier way, please share.

Maybe Navigraph/Simbrief can fix this on their end somehow.
