it’s a problem shared by all the iniBuilds airbuses. it’s extremely common, and occurs nearly every flight. although the EFB has the correct waypoints, the version of the flightplan in the MCDU will have two- or three-letter VOR waypoints swapped for identically named ones thousands of nautical miles away.
the easiest way to detect this is firstly to note when your estimated fuel on arrival is -99 tons. that’s a dead giveaway. the other way to check is to set the MFD to Plan mode and step through the flightplan until you find the one or more waypoints that zoom off to the moon and back.
this problem appears to arise even if you never modify the default flightplan.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: Mission in Africa, passenger in CJ4. Mission failed, again, for straying too far from flight path. I DID NOT! — ON PS5
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Everytime I fly the CJ4 in a passenger mission in Africa!
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
Set up mission
Fly on Nav
It follows the set flight path
Halfway through it decides I am not following the flight path.
It states you must correct the flight path
literally 2 seconds later it bombs the mission
It does not give time to find out where the mission is faulty - although you can visually see you are on the right flight path to the named airport because the aircraft is following the magenta line
Seriously - FIX this
Everytime I try to fly career mode something makes it fail

It is ridiculous. I had three out of 4 flights with this deviation from flight path failure about a third of the way into flights all from eastern Australia out into the islands to the north east. All in a pc12 and all vip private charter. Only changes I made to efb was a straight auto vfr approach and a direct departure and yes i did sent to atc and avionics. I changed the approach on the pc12 to match efb and cleared discontinuity. I do this on the pc12 and pc24 almost every flight with no issues most of the time.
I was on the magenta line every single time when boom mission failure. On one of them i was even at the low 7000 ft call out from atc at departure the whole time. I cant explain why my one flight worked, that flight took me to a runway with no lights and it was pitch black when I got there. All four flights had high eta of over 4hr. I somehow didnt crash but destroyed the landing gear in the successful flight have two go arounds. Im done with the game until they fix some of these issues. How this game got released in this state baffles me. Don’t get me started on the airliners since su5. Very poor
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
•Xbox series X
Cj4
VIP - Charter missions
Did not change flight plan at all
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
•this appears to happen randomly but seems to be mainly associated with flying over bodies of water
Followed flight plan with auto pilot
Has happened 4-5 times
Has happened usually half way through a flight usually after 2 hours
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
