Therefore when you file a plan it takes you to either a gate or ramp suuitable for your plane type at the departure airport, its up to uyou then to contact ATC for clearance. Ground will tell you what route to take to the active runway - more or less as in a real worldish way. However, if you select your craft in the FREE FLIGHT window, Go to box 2(Current location) select change, you will see the SELECT Airport window. Enter the ICAO code for the airport you wantto leave from i.e. EGLL (Heathrow) At the bottom of the window you will see an area named FILTERS. Bottom right side you will see "Choose runway/starting location". This is a drop down box that will have all the ramps, gates etc at the airport. or you can leave at the default "ACtive Runway". Click OK and youll be taken to the active runway at the airport of your choice. Now you can select the flight planner and go through the process in the normal way.
