Career missions start with "Aviator performance: G force exceeded"

PineappleFlight · January 24, 2025, 10:24am

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Loading into a career medium cargo mission with the Cessna 408 SkyCourier always displays the “G force exceeded” warning while playing the intro cinematic and deducts aviator performance points at the end of the flight for exceeding the aircraft’s stress limit.

This is a behaviour I have never obsorved before the SU1 beta.

Will update with further observations regarding other mission / aircraft combinations.

UPDATE
This seems to be a problem specific to the 408 SkyCourier. Three medium cargo flights with the 408 and every time I got the “G force exceeded” message.
Upon starting light cargo missions with the 172 or private charter with the Vision Jet however the message does not show.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
No difference.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time so far.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

Choose medium cargo mission in career mode.
Choose to fly in a 408 SkyCourier

First flight on the newest build and didn’t get this message! Anyone else?

PineappleFlight · February 20, 2025, 4:36pm

Still there.

Chance to get it isn’'t 100% though and wasn’t in the previous beta build(s) either. No idea what makes the difference.

OrdainedFox3050 · February 20, 2025, 5:37pm

Happens to me every time. I’m hopeful for a fix soonish. Seems like it should be an easy fix though it may be the aircraft itself that needs an update. Pretty good aircraft otherwise.

TheRampantGoat · February 20, 2025, 5:51pm

Same here, I love this plane - was very excited when I didn’t see the message this morning, but must have just been a fluke. Ah well, it’s not the end of the world, still love flying this bad boy!

PineappleFlight · February 20, 2025, 7:10pm

Honestly, with the amount of problems the SkyCourier has currently it’s in desperate need of an update in any case, whether the ‘G force exceeded’ bug is directly related to it or not.

That said, yes I too adore this lovely flying box and have by now spent the majority of my FS2024 flight time sending it from one end of Europe and North Africa to the other in career. (And I would take it further south into and beyond the Sahara, if only the sim would generate missions flyable by the 408 there.)

Still not fixed as of SU1 beta build 1.3.24.0
