In my experience, unless you can get the 737 working, the best $ return is probably the pc-24 or pc-12 with medium cargo. The best of those missions pushes $1.2m when you use simrate instead of skip. its $800k for a relatively short one. Is medium VIP up or is it still just the vision jet?

There is only one VIP mission that I saw, you’ll see it in Utah out of Herber City. Others have found a few others but I haven’t been able to find them.
I honestly would have thought that this would have been a fix for SU1 beta under career mission fixes. But nope, still an issue in beta mode or regular. Primarily it seems it’s affecting Xbox users over P.C. I have successfully flown 3 freelance missions with the Saab with no hiccups. But every time this crash happens it’s costing around 166k to repair it back just so it could happen again. Smh…

Same here… I had it in the C408, but after skipping once or twice straight to taxi, it started working consistently (might have been the update patch?)… but Saab is the same… destroys my landing gear and fails the mission everytime. The fact this game was released simply astonishes me. It is in such an unplayable state that it is a crime against gamers it was deployed.
Bring back the old Microsoft team and fire these arogant imposters before another franchise is destroyed by mismanagement!
I hope this doesn’t turn into KSP2.
How is this still feedback-logged but not bug-logged when the game was released in the middle of november last year. Its not even been looked at, let alone resolved.
I’ve the same problem. Mission failed because i left the gate without touch nothing. Any workaround?!
boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
No workaround other than to keep trying till it works while spending millions on repair. So either move to another airport or try your luck at the stand

Is there a list of airports that are bugged with this issue. Or does it happened randomly? Would be a good idea to start a list of airports that are bugged if that’s the case.
As far as I know, there is a pretty high chance for it to happen when you start from a stand instead of jetway. Typically smaller airport that does not have jetway connections tends to have this happen more often.
Hi All!
For those following this thread, I’d like to share a work-a-around which has allowed me to at least fly passenger missions with the SAAB 340 (I can only speak to initiating passenger missions with the SAAB 340). This has worked for me, regardless of the airport having a jetway or not.
Work-a-around: after spawning in, walk to each three tires and check status… then enter the aircraft by using the door animation (no shortcut). I then go to third person view until the boarding process is complete (no sure if that matters… but I’m doing it each time). Obviously, the SAAB itself still needs work, however; hopefully this grants the opportunity to at least enjoy this mission type.
No work around for this garbage however; eating your transfer costs each time… Happy flights!

Having the same exact issue with MSFS 2024, I am not sure how I am crashing sitting on the dang taxi way. While the game has some good points this type of stuff should be fixed with priority.
I haven’t tried a Passanger mission with my Saab with the latest beta build. But in 1.3.13.0 the “left the taxi stand without completing steps” failed mission seem to have been fixed.
But a new issue has arise for me. I prep the bird and everything is looking good. Once I start rotating at take off. I can feel the plane struggle to take off as normal, and around 100ft off the ground trying to climb up. It just pitches left or right nose diving down for a crash. Same prep procedures in previous beta builds and no issues taking off.
Can’t figure out if it’s a user error or a sim issue. But I attempted 4 different mission is 3 different airports and same result in all of them. No, “skip steps” performed.
Anywho the latest beta update just came out a day or two ago so I’ll have to attempt this again.
Also with SU2 the problem is still present.
Transfered my Saab 340 between two airports at the chinese coast, checked the state of the plane, adjusted the FL in the EFB (FL0 does not get me in the Himalaya, and I don’t want to have the ATC ask me to climb to FL300 which the plane never reaches…), started the mission, entered the plane, and after ~20sec I got kicked back to the HQ and the plane had a destroyed gear…
In the past I just had to repair the broken gear parts, but now I need to use the insurance, and funnily enough, that way it only restores the broken parts to their previous state (~90% in my case) instead of properly repairing them to 100% 
So passenger missions still unplayable with Saab (there were the same reports for 737, someone might want to check).
As of SU2, this was not fixed. When I start the walk-around, I check for the blue tug truck and other infrastructure props. Not necessarily a gate: in Madeira (LPMA), for example, I saw the tug truck, but no jet way. We see a bus and stairs instead of the jet way, and the mission doesn’t crash. However in Porto Santo (LPPS), right next door, we see the generator truck, but that’s it. No tug truck and no terminal. There, the mission fails, landing gear broken, reputation penalty, etc.
So when I don’t see the tug truck, I ALT+F4 the hell out of there and transfer the plane to another airport.
People who are playing the SU3 beta right now, is this one fixed there?
I am having the same issue in multiple airports, with passenger mission. Any new work arounds or clues on how to prevent the crash?
Issue still persists in SU3.
Currently trying to do some passenger career flights with the SAAB 340.
Only way to get around this seems to ALT+N (skip to taxi) before i enter the plane, but this also works without any consistency, just tried to start a mission from Heathrow and skipping to taxi ended in instant crash of the airplain when the cutscene begins to load.
