Can't unlock Aerial Construction, drop cargo precision is max 67%

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

When playing Cargo Transport - Missions in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 career mode, it is impossible to achieve 100% cargo drop precision. This occurs even when the cargo is dropped perfectly dead center and the helicopter remains completely still. This prevents the player from unlocking Aerial Construction.

I have exactly the same issue!

Same issue. Either the judgement system is too critical, or I’m not as good as i think i am. OR! the bugs prevent us from qualifying. targets in dense trees, bugs creating drop zones “3484 NM away”, and never being able to surpass 67% drop precision no matter hoe centered cargo is. But I’ve tried enough times to become level upper 50’s and make more than 500,000cr and i still don’t qualify for "arial Construction. so my career mode has come to a screeching halt. also, none of the European cargo missions work even enough to finish one.

the cargo drop mission on land are also impossible as 95% of the time the drop zone is blocked by trees

• Same issue as described. Can not get more than 67% Drop cargo precision, no matter how precise the drop is.

I have the same issue. I’ve done at least 20 or 30 missions at this point and have gotten scores in high 90s with accuracy at 67. They have purposely made it impossible to achieve a passing score. It’s total B.S.

Same thing with me, well over 20 missions with the drop off varying from a light scrape to a sizable clunk, always 67%.

Same here, always 67%, preventing getting an S and not getting aerial construction. At this point just say you don’t have finished developing these missions !!
