Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Obviously there is no check in the logic for clearance around the truck. Original issue was posted 26 days ago, wondering what is missing here to have it confirmed as bug-logged? Isn’t it 100% clear that this is a bug? What is the hangup here?

I don’t understand why they don’t log the bug. Please log the bug, because the helicopter spraying mission is unplayable!

Developer, put the chemical truck in the middle of the designated area, it’s even better than the current situation. It seems that no one has tested this helicopter mission either. In 90% of cases, the chemical truck is inaccessible.

Because it first needs to be reproduced, committed to their internal bug log system in a sensible and clear way, along with the proposed way for a solution. All things are far from trivial.

Combine that with the fact that they have a lot more to do then logging bugs all day and of course it can take quite a while before bugs get logged. Don’t expect a solution within a few months.

It’s also a possibility this specific bugs will get tackled in a much broader solution on career missions, where there will be a new approach in generating mission or something. If this is the case, they will never log this bug in their internal tracker, but just let it solve as byproduct, if that makes sense.

No, it doesn’t. Any professional software organization committed to customer satisfaction and transparency, and having at least a rudimentary QA, logs every bug reported by the customer. If the bug is resolved by another bugfix, then they just link it to the other bug.

It would be against their own interest not doing so.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

Yeah, nope:

I swear they trying to mock us.

IceManDBB · April 12, 2025, 12:57pm

Maybe it’s just an skill issue.

pvaiko1203 · April 12, 2025, 3:06pm

Well, many scenarios in the screenshots in this topic are doable, but that is for a different game. I prefer realism.

Before starting ag missions I always zoom in on the field, and look for another mission if there are powerlines across the field, many trees, truck too close to obstacles, etc.

MrtnMrc1948 · April 14, 2025, 7:47am

Seems like a skill issue indeed, just keep practising, you’ll eventually get better at it and be able to land in the center of the platform.

IceManDBB · April 14, 2025, 9:12am

Deliberately landed on the edge. Rotor touching and such.

IceManDBB · April 14, 2025, 9:24am

Yeah, I check the field and surroundings, but sometimes they put the truck in really odd places. I had it directly on 40 degree slope just beside an otherwise flat field once.
