Any explanation why "Back on Track" is not optional?

Does this happen because of crash detection? I always leave that off because I feel like it gets in the way.

It probably does.

I can’t recall ever seeing that pop up, so it must be related to crash detection. Not that I have a ton of time on FS24… what do I know?

Enable “Disable Crash Damage” and you will crash and not jump back to “Back on Track”.

It’s particularly annoying when the ready to fly button puts you in an immediate crash condition and it keeps bouncing, when all you really want to do is end the session. I’m not going to right a ticket, but it will be nice to know if they ever recognize it as a serious flaw in the design.

This “feature” was new to me, and I never should’ve seen it, as I did not in fact crash! I was flying along near some light rain (no CBs in the area and no convective sigmets–I was flying near where I actually live and there had been some light rain, but it had passed some time earlier–the METAR at the time: 302153Z 28008KT 9SM CLR 29/22 A2980), yet more often than once/minute, it sounded like thunder, “Back on track You crashed” appeared, and it put me level at a higher altitude, although I’d been trying to descend. It probably took 30+ of these “groundhog day” cycles ot finally land. What a PITA!

Why is it a flaw?

Just select or don’t select the option you want.

The option you pointed at makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the “Back on Track” idiocy in SU3.

If you select “Disable Crash Damage”, your crash stops the flight.
If you unselect it, it displays “Back on Track” and keeps the flight running.

I feel for you guys.

All I want for Christmas is to be able to fly C172 charters in Career Mode without the game on the “super expert landings” setting.

And I fly C172’s irl. Grrr. lol.
