# Manual Starting Positions

In some cases—due to simulator behavior or the layout of a specific airport—the correct starting position may not be automatically detected. Additionally, you may simply prefer to choose a starting point manually.

To do this, click the **"More"** button and select your desired **Starting Position** from the list.\
It’s quick and easy.

Manual starting positions are identical to the automatic ones, with one exception:\
**Manual mode includes an additional option — "Start of Taxiway."**

## **Start on Taxiway**

**Aircraft State:**

* The aircraft begins at the **Taxiing for Takeoff** phase, positioned on the taxiway and ready to roll.

**Description:**\
This starting point places your aircraft at the beginning of the taxi phase—ideal for quick departures without the need to go through boarding, startup, or pushback procedures.

**User Tips:**

* Make sure your aircraft systems are properly configured and ready for taxi before proceeding.
