Glider photograph mission can't be done? (photograph a glider with La Jolla coastline)


I am currently working on a photography task inside MSFS 2024 where I need to capture a glider flying over the La Jolla coastline — with two other gliders flying close to each other.

this is the last photograph mission from (Gliders Soaring Around The World)

I’m struggling because no glider AI traffic seems to spawn naturally in the area.

I have already:

  • Set Traffic to AI Offline.
  • Set Traffic to Real-World Online
  • Set Traffic to OFF
  • Flown near La Jolla coastline.
  • Waited several minutes but no gliders appeared.
  • Changed the mounth to February - March - April - June - July - August
  • Changed Time

I have tried all solutions, but nothing happened. I now believe that this issue seems like a problem or a bug, so I decided to reclassify the topic. Whoever sees this topic, please try the task yourself, and you will find that the task cannot be completed!

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time i load the mission

Have you tried with Live Traffic on. That’s the only setting I fly with and I keep seeing AI gliders flying in many different places along with AI GA aircraft and helicopters.

i have those options, where i can find (Live Traffic) ?

Sorry. I used the wrong wording. I meant the Real Time Online you have selected in your screen print.

AI traffic needs to be on for this to work.

I tried and changed it to real time online but it didn’t work!

I’m assuming these gliders are departing out of the Torrey Pines Gliderport. If real time online traffic is needed for this to work it’s worth noting that the time to fly a sailplane is coming to an end. They’re allowed from February to April and permission is needed. Others such as hang gliders and paragliders are allowed year-round.

i try every Solution Maki! :frowning: nothing happend.

Voted !
I have the same bug since the beginning and nothing has changed with SU1.

I’ve never seen any other gliders in La Jolla, and I’ve spent several hours trying the “rare” options on Xbox (X and S). No way, the gliders never appear.


Again, it’s poorly written on Xbox. The description says you can change the density with the settings below… but there are no settings!
