Please refer to my post about "detailed airports".
Yes, only the detailed airports have parking places where you can start "cold and dark". I noticed also that these airports also show AI-aircraft on the ground, all the others (non detailed airports) do show AI-aircraft about to land, but they do not show up on the ground.
And yes, there are many detailed airports in Europe and the USA, but also a few in other places (Dubai OMDB and Tokyo RJAA, RJTT), others I did not find so far.
That's why I was looking for a list of all these detailed airports.
