ISSUE DESCRIPTION

When landing the plane in Career Mode, it sometimes tells me to taxi to a hold short position which is already BEHIND the plane - normally right at the landing end of the runway. It is impossible to reach this position without turning the plane through 180 degrees, which then gives me an “entered taxiway without authorisation” penalty.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
I have no mods at all, it’s vanilla FS2024.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Intermittently, I think it is airport dependent. Seems to be about 1 time in 3.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Take a First Flight Mission from any airport that just has taxiways right at the end of the runway.
  2. Fly the mission and land.
  3. Get penalised.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

What peripherals are you using, if relevant:
Thrustmaster Airbus joystick, but not really relevant.

[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?
No

[PC, MSFS 2020 Only] Are you using DX11 or DX12?
DX12

[PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use?

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

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• this happens (at least what I experienced so far) only on airports where there is no extra taxiway (in parallel) to the runway . So if you have to turn on the runway to reach the parking positions, I always get the error message that I entered the taxiway without permission.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

This is somewhat related, as it is another issue with hold short in Career Mode. I did a mission with destination KAYS, and I was told that “hold short” is about 3500 NM away from my position (see screen shot). As hold short was quite a bit away there was also no parking position and with that no way to end the mission. I could only abort the mission to end it. I think the issue was related in this case that there were no taxi ways (at least visible to me) at all.

By increasing the engine power the plane turns on its own. This way you don’t leave the runway

Nope, the turning circle of the plane isn’t tight enough to turn it round without going off the edge of the runway where I had landed.

You have to brake and then to increase the power. Check it pls

This is probably one of the least broken things in career mode at the moment because nearly everything is broken. At least it doesn’t cause the flight to totally fail like CTD on landing, the DHC-2 not spawning with enough fuel to complete the flight, 40kt crosswinds in a 172, hypoxia death from the broken cabin pressurization system on the pc12, parking areas in the trees or on top of buildings, and so on. If you get far enough in a mission to run into this bug you’re lucky!

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

In career mode, I was landing on RWY, when slowing down, Blue chevrons showed me a taxi to vacate RWY, but I was still to fast for such sharp turn. So I choosed next taxiway, but chevrons doesnt switch to there and Ive got penalized for not being allowed to taxi :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

This is a known issue with career mode, has been since pretty much day one

Would be easily fixable pending more rework just by setting a mission trigger at all holding short point
