Hey everyone,
I recently purchased FSbuild and have noticed that it will only let me start the flight on an active runway. I have tried all the solutions that i could find in the FSbuild forums but cant get any of them to work. Has anyone that uses FSbuild and FSX had any success starting at the gate?

??? FSBuild makes the flightplan. Why would it have anything to do with FS starting on a active runway?

Robert,
Create your flight plan in FSbuild and upload it into FSX.
Start FSX and load the plane and the airport and gate you wish.
Once youre in the plane click flights on the menu bar and then flight planner...
In the flight planner click the load button and select the flight plan you uploaded with FSbuild DO NOT CLICK AUTOGENERATE. once its loaded click OK.
It will ask you if you want to move to the selected airport click no.
Now your ready to fly with your flight plan loaded and at the gate.

Guys - FSbuild has nothing at all to do with your starting location. Sounds like what you are doing is building/saving the flight plan with FSBuild - then going into FS selecting the LOAD option in the Flight Sim flight plan section, and you are getting the "Move aircraft to departure Airfield message".....
First - set yourself at the gate you want at your departure airport.
Second - load the flight that you saved with FSBuild - when that mesage comes up click NO. Your plan should be in your GPS and you should be at the gate.

It is the same for FSX - NOTHING at all to do with FSBuild.
Rob, feel free to email/voice with me and I will talk you through it if you like

FS9 in FS build , has a third party feature you can use to set a gate automatically, Its called gatekeeper, Its on AVSIM some where's, nothing for FSX I believe at this time.

Yeah - the filename is: gatekeeper-127.zip
But if you don't have it - there's no way built into the FSBuild program
