Zendesk # Request #152743 New feature to allow a flight to start at any location
https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/152743
Add the ability to click any spot on the ground or water to start “cold and dark” or “ready for take-off”. This complements the current “start anywhere in the air” feature.
There are a few other similar bug reports and discussions that mention this feature:
For example:
The problem:
Many grass strips / airfields lack designated parking areas in the simulator, making it impossible to choose to start “cold and dark.” Maybe this is a feature request, but I consider the missing menu option a bug.
This is an issue if you want a little bit of realism while “bush flying” and exploring.
Reproduce by selecting for example “ESUI” in Sweden or “EDRM” in Germany. (Picked completely by random from grass strips, no preference).

I wish Osobo would include at least one parking spot at every airport. This includes the small “bush” airfields in remote places and the water airfields in SU5.
Currently, there are thousands of small airfields, airports and heliports without a parking spot.
No “services” such as ground handling or fuel need be available for these parking spots, just keep it simple!
Without this feature, you have to select a runway and start with the aircraft powered up ready for takeoff…
Anyone know of a Mod that can add a parking spot to the very small airstrips in the Sim?
Currently the only way to fly from them is to start at one end of the runway with everything running hot ready to fly, I’d like to start Cold. Thanks
