Starting position is off on small Canadian airports

I.e. CJS4 and other SK airports. The aircraft is always off to the side of the runway on the grass. At some of the airports the ground is rough enough that you can't taxi to the runway without breaking the gear!
However, in KSFO, it's right on the centerline every time.

Is this just my system, can anyone check theirs? What could be causing this?

Are you by any chance starting using multiplayer on those Canadian airports?

Nope, singleplayer. My connection is too poor for multiplayer (ping time >2s on satellite).
I just checked a major airport CYXE (Saskatoon) and it's not just small rurals, I'm off the runway there as well.

This scenery was not downloaded via Terrasync but as scenery chunks. Could they somehow be misaligned?

Ah... ok.

If you downloaded the old, Standard Detail scenery, then, yes, it could be misaligned. But if you downloaded the HD scenery, v2.01, then that is not the case.
