Career Mode Instrument Rating Exam starts too far from route

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Hi all, when I try to play the Instrument Rating Exam mission in Career mode, the flight is starting “Too far from the airport”.

I cannot even reach the first waypoint EVTEP. I see it on the map display but after only 10 seconds my checker tells me that I have flown too far from the airport and the mission is aborted.

Even if I set heading to EVTEP immediately I cannot get to the point that the mission continues.

I play on Xbox Series S and have all the latest updates installed.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Start the Instrument Rating Exam mission in Career mode.

  2. You are being loaded into the plane.

  3. The checker tells you that you have gone too far from the route and that you have to return to the route immediately.

  4. After about 10 seconds the checker says that he is flying back to the airport and the mission ends.

YOUR SETTINGS

Xbox Series S

MSFS 2024 without any add-ons

MEDIA

Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.

Career mode can be very faulty at times.
You will need to try a few things to see if they work.
You can try exiting the sim and then try the mission again.
Next, uninstall and reinstall.
See if you have anything 3rd party thats causing the problem.
Honestly, just try everything and read the forums to see if someone else has experienced it.
Lastly, contact Zendesk to see if they can help
One thing you can try in the mission, as soon as it loads in press pause. Set up the 172 like heading, GPS, altitude and AP, Flight director so you can follow the magenta boxes. Look at the relative position of the 172 to EVTEP and immediately. get the aircraft going on that heading. Don’t forget to open the comms box to talk to ATC as well.
Watch some youtube videos on this exam. Good luck

Today I launched the Instrument Rating Exam mission again and I did not encounter any error. I could play it a few times and passed the exam.

I did not do anything to the installation. It is really odd and it seems that some missions are working on some days and are not working on other days.
