This is a known issue in career mode its due to airport not having a jetway as stairways are not modeled for career mode. if fly out of any major airport that has a jetway you’ll be fine.

They were in SU3 with the 737. Just another bug that came with SU4 -_-

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

The problem is that in Career Mode, during Passenger Transport - Airline missions, at the very beginning, when accepting passengers, the mission fails with the message ā€œYou left the parking stand before completing the ground handling process,ā€ and I cannot perform the flight. I first experienced this problem with the 737, sold the 737, and now I am experiencing the same problem with the Airbus A330-200GE model.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

This issue occurs in every Passenger Transport - Airline mission.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Choose Passenger Transport - Airline mission and choose A330-200GE in career.

  2. Start Mission (FLY)

  4. Listen to First Officer and Purser

  5. Press ← to request passengers boarding

I’m having the same issue, flew Manchester to Houston George bush airport and when I press enter to board it fails. Very annoying this has been going on over a year

Found a little work around. Don’t know how bullet proof it is but when I done it it didn’t seem to damage my aircraft from what I can gather. No warnings popped up

so what I did was skip to taxi and basically reset the a330 to dark and cold and set it up on the taxiway. Isn’t ideal really but it’s a work around for those who are having issues and just want to fly and earn some cash

I had this problem with two separate flights, one from CYYZ and one from KJFK today but only with the A330-200RR. I have been able to fly with the A330-300GE with no problems from both airports. I haven’t tried the other two variants (A330-200GE, A330-300RR); not enough money as yet to try those.

This leads me to possibly speculate that this may be specific to the A330-200 and not the A330-300.

Can’t say about the A321LR, but I had this problem when I first tried to fly it. Another flight with the A321LR worked. The A321LR has some serious problems which caused me to abandon it in favor of the A330.

I have noticed with the b737-8 max that if you do the full outside inspection and have everuthing in the green you will not have the fail on the mission. Only problem i have is that the N2 won’t rise to 25 for the engine start although i have fully completed the checklist and apu and apu bleed are functioning. so that’s the next problem.

Scratch up another suffering with this issue. I don’t want to have to ā€˜skip to taxi’ as you lose credits for skipping. Submitted support ticket to MS
