Brief description of the issue:
I have only seen this happen when I land at an airport, then contact ground and ask to depart again. But that doesn’t mean this is the only way it might happen.
If I do that and give a VFR departure in one direction (say, south), then taxi to the hold short line for the runway and contact tower, my pilot will ask for a departure in a different direction (say, north).
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Key West (departure to the east, cleared for straight-out departure):
Contact ground, then request taxi - departure to some direction (e.g. north).
Follow the taxi instructions, then when you reach the runway, contact tower and request takeoff clearance.
Expected result: You tell ATC that you’re ready to depart in the same direction that you told ground earlier.
Observed result: You request takeoff clearance in some other direction.

What is wind direction ? ATC defind RwY in use based on wind dir. Lisen to ATIS before call GND/TWR When requestiong deparrture to the North ATC means direction after departure
I often have this problem at Orly airport (LFPO),
after sending my clearance with scheduled takeoff on runway 24, the atc sends me taxi for take off on runway 25, depending on the wind, or on 06 instead of 07, this is because the game, I suppose, only takes care of the wind direction.
But then, on LFPO you take off or land like the AI, constantly backwards from the real life usage.
When I look at the AI or ATC, I see the planes landing constantly on 24 or 07, while these are the runways with 99.9% takeoff, the AI and ATC often send on 25 or 06.
In real life, if the wind is 250, or 270 or 200, the planes will not take off on runway 25, but always on 24 and will use 25 for landing.
it can happen that they land upside down in real life, I have already seen it, but it is extremely rare, I think in case of emergency
When you are calling ground with “departure to the north”, you are staying your intention to leave the airport and head north. If the wind is coming from the south, that does not affect my intention, which is to head north once I leave the airport.
My point is that my pilot tells ground my intention of departing to the north (or whatever direction), then chooses something completely different when he talks to tower.
I think we may be talking about two different issues. This particular issue is not about runway assignments (although I have seen AI traffic landing in a different direction than the winds), but rather that the pilot states their intention of departing in a certain direction, then changes their mind when they talk to tower.
