:white_check_mark: ISSUE DESCRIPTION

  1. Description of the issue:
    Career missions have been cutting part of my payment upon completion if any portion is skipped. From 3000CR a mission promises, I get to make 500CR. I’m not sure this is intentional or not, but it’s not communicated to the player at all. I tested it not skipping and it pays the full amount correctly.

To bring it back from other forum - it would make a ton more sense if in the payout breakdown you were deducted credits for skipping instead of that deduction being invisibly applied somehere else. The flight reported here had skipped parts, yet still got a no-skip bonus

Yes, I have had the same issue. On loading in to a mission and on skipping taxi. Both crashed me in to a building.

• Yeah I agree,
It doesn’t make sense if you just deduct those credit from the player without explaination. I was so confused I am searching on the web until I spotted this post.

Happening to me as well. Additionally, the ability to click and move the view in the cockpit is intermittent. Sometimes in preflight walk though, I cant click the covers and chocks off.

• My extra information is that it’s clear you guys didn’t QA most of this game. Anytime a number is presented in this game, there is a like a 90% chance it is nonsensical.

a greatly reduced no-skip bonus. If you dont skip the bonus is much higher

The code probably got messed up. The “Bonus” is applying to the actual contract credits. Instead of a 3000cr contract with a max potential 500 bonus, the bonus is being awarded for mission complete with the no skip being a max of 3000cr. Those values need to be swapped.

• Same issue here for a lots of misisons. I can’t understand how the final payment comes about. An A rating at the end but only a few hundred credits instead of a few thousand

I get the full amount if I don’t skip.

You are supposed to invest the time and do the full flight, to get the full amount of credits.

If you want all the money and no work, just use Cheatengine.
I think this is not a bug but a feature.

You didn’t read the thread. Also, I wouldn’t call skipping a 2 minute taxi of a 2 hour flight "not doing the time’. As I said, read the thread.

Not skipping gives you a bonus (the reward). It is not intended to punish you for skipping, but the game does. It is only intended to reward you for not skipping, which it does do currently.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes same issue. It also impacts any portion skipped like startup, taxi to runway, taxi to parking. If you skip any portion of the mission you get a no skip bonus between 300cr and 500cr and that’s the only payout.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Followed flight plan. Mission steps stuck at Cruise - I started descent and it didn’t recognize that phase. Only way to advance mission was Alt-N skip to Descent. Got 500 credits for perfectly completed flight that promised 3000 cr.

Also, why do i have to pay imaginary Employee´s?
I´m the sole Pilot that has NO Company or insurance

You don’t have to skip parts of the flight to get less at the end.
I regularly fly VIP charter missions and am supposed to get, say, 130,000 Cr for it, but I regularly only get half that.

I don’t have any screenshots to hand right now, but I’ll take some when I get the chance.

What do you mean?

I don’t quite follow that.

You fly as a subcontractor / freelancer?

Then you don’t have any employees.

I have 4 companies and each plane has a crew and I’ve never had to pay the crew.
