I need some help with the editor.

[F-16 Pilot]

So I downloaded the game awhile back and setup a few training missions in the editor and learned to hit targets using laser-guided bombs from the FA-18 and F-16 using the trial modules. Now I want to get the game for good and need some help with the editor again.

One thing I had trouble with before is figuring out how to select a specific airport and starting spot. How do I change the start locaction of my plane?

Thanks

Place your airplane over the airport you want to start from and select "takeoff from runway" on the right panel "TYPE" menu.

If you want a cold start from the parking slot, select "takeoff from ramp" in the same menu. "takeoff from parking hot" does the same but the aircraft is already powered on and ready to go. In these cases you get an additional option to choose your parking spot.

Select plane group and place it on the map. On the right hand side select Waypoint type as 'Takeoff from ramp'.

See above answers, and, if you later want to change the start location, just drag and drop your aircraft symbol on the map towards the airfield of your choice. If it's set to take-off, as @Mogs and @diego999 mentionend it'll snap to the nearest available airfield.
