Description
In a Cargo Transport – Medium mission, the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is spawned on a helipad (HEL) rather than a runway or suitable short strip. This makes the mission non‑viable, as the aircraft cannot safely or realistically take off from a helipad.
The mission objective explicitly requires a conventional take‑off sequence, yet the starting location contradicts the aircraft’s operational requirements.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Cargo Transport – Medium mission (Standard air freight).
- Aircraft assigned: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX.
- Mission loads with the aircraft positioned on a rooftop helipad.
- Mission steps prompt standard take‑off actions (release parking brake, enter runway).
Expected Behaviour
- Fixed‑wing cargo aircraft should spawn on a runway, taxiway, or appropriate short airstrip.
- Alternatively, missions involving helipads should be restricted to rotary‑wing aircraft only.
Actual Behaviour
- The Cessna 208B spawns on a helipad, with no viable take‑off path.
- Mission progression is blocked or requires unrealistic behaviour.
Impact
- Mission cannot be completed as designed.
- Breaks immersion and contradicts basic aircraft capability constraints.
- Affects career progression and contract rewards.
