Yes, possibly?

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

I think I might see what you are seeing, or why you might be getting it.
I choose my plane, select my airport, and select the ramp spot. See below in first image.

Now watch what happens if I change the plane I want to fly. See second image. As soon as you choose a plane it reverts the start to a runway, and I have to choose the starting position again.

Just to prove it here is a ramp start in a 747, see image three.

The bug only manifests if you choose your plane after you have already chosen your start position.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Yes. That correct. If change plane - point changed to RUNWAY, but on map still Ramp is selected

Yes, and that is probably a long standing bug, as I’m sure I’ve seen that before. I’d still report it to Zendesk though so it’s officially recorded.

I have exactly the same issue too!
