ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
In Career Mode, when accepting passenger transport missions using the Heart ES-30, the aircraft frequently spawns completely reversed at the parking ramp (facing the grass or terminal instead of the taxiway).
Because of this, the mission logic demands a mandatory “Pushback” objective to proceed. This creates two major issues:
-
Realism issue: The Heart ES-30 is an electric aircraft fully capable of performing a powerback using propeller reverse. A tug pushback shouldn’t be a strict requirement for this specific airframe.
-
Game-breaking bug: If the player tries to bypass this illogical spawn by using the “Skip to Taxi” button, the mission fails instantly (giving a “left the apron” penalty) or sometimes crashes the simulator.
Expected Behavior: The aircraft should spawn facing the taxiway/apron exit. If spawned facing the terminal, the ES-30 should be allowed to use its native powerback capabilities without being forced to use a tug. Most importantly, the “Skip to Taxi” button should safely teleport the aircraft to the taxiway without failing the mission.

REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
Launch MSFS 2024 and enter Career Mode.
-
Accept a Passenger Transport mission.
-
Select the Heart Aerospace ES-30.
-
Load into the mission (happens very often at small/medium airports).
-
Observe the aircraft spawning facing the wrong way.
-
Check the mandatory “Pushback” objective.
