[BUG] Aircraft Gets Stuck on Ground Surface at TFFF – Requires Slew Mode to Move (MSFS 2024)

msfs-2024

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

At TFFF (Fort-de-France Airport, Martinique), the TBM 930 becomes completely stuck on the ground after shutdown or repositioning near hangars.
The aircraft does not move even with full throttle, and pushback fails to start.
Reverse thrust also has no effect, as if the plane were physically glued to the ground.

Using Slew Mode (Shift + Z) to lift and re-place the aircraft fixes the issue temporarily — confirming it is a ground collision or surface friction bug.

No third-party scenery or add-ons were used. The airport is the default one from MSFS 2024.


FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • Consistent at TFFF, especially when spawning or parking near hangars.
  • Can occur after a few minutes with engines off, before attempting to taxi again.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Spawn at TFFF (Fort-de-France), parking near hangars with the TBM 930.
  2. Shut down engines and wait a few minutes.
  3. Restart and attempt to move forward or backward.
  4. Observe that the aircraft does not move, even with full throttle and park brake off.
  5. Activate Slew Mode, lift and replace the aircraft → it moves normally again.

I can’t replicate this using the following procedure.
Spawn at TFFF starting point 10, near hangars.
Start aircraft, no issues.
Taxi around and back to that area. Stop aircraft and shut down.
Start aircraft, no issues in being able to taxi.
