Career freight mission in PC-12 assigned me to land on water runway

flew a career mode cargo mission between 2R1 and 25FD in the PC-21. made no changes to flight plan in EFB prior to flight. assumed no issues and took off. normal approach till i called out runway 02 WATER. uh oh. perhaps it was adjacent to a sand strip? nope. its a drainage trench. so i just flew five hours to fail for not crashing in an alligator ditch.

points for creativity on this one, guys. “Any plane is a floatplane, ONCE” - Sully Sullenburger

im here for this. i briefly considered it, then realized it was not a FreeFlight mission. otherwise, i would be wrestling an alligator right now.

you need to vote for your bug.
Beside that got also the same issue.

My plan was then to land on an unpaved road near the parking area.
Looked good until there was suddendly a ‘small’ ramp in front of me while rollout. so I was back in the air with 30kt indicated. needless to say that my landing gear had gone and the mission failed a few moments after cause i landed too far away from the destination…

that is just nice, loosing reputation on such BS!!!

I loved FS but spending so much money on the Aviators edition and receiving just a cheap DLC… thinking about a return…


best to abort if you are worried about reputation. the only thing you lose is time in that case.
