Hello everyone,

I have the very same problem, with Helicopter Mission (Sightseeing and Passenger Transport) starting with a Cessna. Then, the same code as OP is displayed.

@Thoradan1974 thanks for the report, saved me time

Cheers,
K.

Plus one, here. I get the same issue. The First-time mission for Helo Flightseeing and Helo Passenger Transport have the same issue on my end; Assigned aircraft is the Cessna 172 with no way to change aircraft. Attempting to begin the mission results in error code 307-400-00200.

Issue is replicated 100% of the time with no apparent way to circumvent the issue, effectively locking us out of any helicopter missions.

I was rather looking forward to doing Helo rescues…

[LaundroMatt9407]

Same issue here. 172 shown as the mission aircraft, then error message when trying to fly it. Also, my pilot is wearing the wrong clothes in the mission load screen.

[RedHeat001]

Same thing here. No more helicopter missions. All mission are now with the 172

[HawkMoth9135]

Same issue.

I passed my first rotorcraft certification, followed by the turbo helicopter certification and the two resulting “gold” missions, which both should have been helicopter missions, had C172s as the chosen aircraft.

On selecting one, on the off chance that the aircraft might turn out to be a helicopter, I got the same error message as in the OP and was returned to the Career Mode HQ page.

At least I won’t have to pull back hard on the C172’s yoke, to get the prop horizontal.

[Hexotic77]

Same Issue. Just did a career reset and got to the first mission for helo and ran into the same problem.

[Diesel557T]

+1 PC same issue

[Jasamino]

Same issue, but no only with helicopters. Also with Cessna.

[immikey]

i was hoping for a fix also but my copter mission shows a c172 also.

[LCDraco]

[Danglepuck22]

seems to be working again..thanks

[HawkMoth9135]

The cloud strategy would appear to have at least one advantage.

[Jasamino]

Yeah i managed to run a mission now and finished it. Then the whole game CTD. 45 mins for nothing now

• i have the same problem on the XBOX. NO HELICOPTER MISSIONS.

[Parabellum9mm]

Same issue but for me it is for all fixed wing aircraft. I have no charter missions for any planes at all, neither Freelancer missions nor Employee missions.
