ALL Freelance Missions Crash: Error Code 308-400-00209

Nobody ever says anything… apparently its completely acceptable to ship broken and bricked games with no explanation for most of the issues. Here is another thread with a hundred replies of people with the same issue, and nothing but “we are looking into it” two weeks ago.

yeah. It happened to me too at 00:04. The day before at 00:10 and the day before at 00:11.

I can’t complete the cargo mission. Everytime, about 50 miles before landing, an error appears during a light cargo mission.
(On own plane. Cessna 172 G1000)

Mine ends in 207, dunno if that means anything. This was at the end of a lengthy cargo mission in Japan

Used repair/refuel for the first time ever in career sightseeing, and get this exact error both times very soon after.


Got another one, this time mid-flight in a flightseeing mission in Scotland

+1 same issue here. Every freelance mission I start with low fuel regardless of what’s in the EFB. Pressuing the repair and refuel button causes the mission to end with this error code.

Same error for me. Created my own thread on the topic… This is getting really annoying. Must have lost 8-10 hours on this at least.

Propably this error is relate with repair and refuel hotkey utilization

So, is normal … is propably a anti-cheat feature

I flew 20+ missions on the weekend, all using the refuel in the hangar. Not one error crash. Fun fact, every single mission requires you to purchase fuel (and always add a little bit more to be safe). If you look at the bottom right of the hangar screen, it tells you how much fuel you need for the flight as planned. Go into manage aircraft, and buy fuel (+20-25lbs). The error will be gone. As soon as you press the refuel button in a mission, it is going to error out at some point during the flight.

Never used repair/refuel and got the same error, happened a few miles before my destination after flying for 35 minutes

This is unacceptable.

Same here, even after the new patch this afternoon…
This keeps happening 10 minutes into flight.

I am now receiving the same error in freelancer flights - happens when taxiing or just after take-off. So far, it has happened when using the ES30 & the PC-12. The refuel hotkey was not used in all of my tests and I relied on the pre-flight GUI to refuel the aircraft.

It is definitely the “Repair and Fuel” issue which causes this. The solution is easy, although it shouldn’t be an issue in the first place. When you click “Accept Mission” the next screen is your Hangar - on the upper right side of the screen is your Aircraft - click on “Management” then on the upper left click on “Fuel and Payload” then on Manage Fuel. There you can buy extra fuel. All my missions now complete successfully!!

Can confirm. Not using “Repair and Fuel” avoided the error message.
The error reason may be that the Repair and Fuel function fuels the airplane over its weight limit (when carrying cargo) and this causes the error to appear.
