Since nobody at MS/Asobo bothered to even test this mission once, I’ll have to tell you guys what’s wrong (amongst many other bugs ofc):
Pilatus PC-12 looses GPS track (NAV) and/or ALT for no reason
At some point the flightplan get’s lost in the FMS - reloading does not work
After landing, the mission does not progress - you do not get a “exit and stop your plane there” message - the mission defacto does not end and…
… because of this it is again a complete failure and a waste of 2 - 3 hours for nothing.
And becaus this is the golden mission I can now not do any VIP Charter Medium Missions. But of course I purchased for over 5 millions the PC-12 (which is - of course - completely borked).
That mission has a lot of issue but I was able to complete it. The main issue with it is the oxygen/pressurization doesn’t work. As far at following the Flight Plan, I think this is a lack of understanding on how the Primus Epic2 works. I had no issue with following the NAV track.
During my first try I was also kinda able to track it. During take 2 it tracked well until - for no reasons - it suddenly stopped tracking the GPS.
I tried to find a tutorial about the Default PC-12 NGX but of course there is none - why would they make one - it’s basically so easy - like flying a Cessna 172 right?
that’s because you ran into a discontinuity and you had to do a Direct-to to the next point (label as MANSEQ). Like I said, the mission has issue. the PC-12 has issue but it’s completable as I did it.
Yes - you are right! I saw the discontinuity but I was not able to fix it this.
BUT - I then decided to use HDG and basically hand-fly the thing to Nice.
I followed the landing pattern and also announced myself but that did not get an answer and then after the landing the mission basically gave up on me.
Sorry if I sound negative - but I lost half a million over night just beccause insurance costs 10x more than it actually should as per advertised. And because of the other gazillion bugs that they could have identify and fix if they had tested it.
I hear you. The mission was not fully QA in my opinion and sometime I have noticed the ATC get stuck on a step and until you complete that instruction, it doesn’t move on from it.
Until they fixed the PC-12, it’s not worth doing anyway. WorkingTitle has a discord so if you have any Epic2 question, they can help.
Oh - that’s great to know - thanks a bunch! I like to learn new FMS - just - without any info this one’s a bit hard…
Did you hear if they consider giving us a “window-cleaner” anytime soon? It’s a bit sad - such a great world and all we see are scratches and a whiteish filter through the windshield ^^…
Do the medium VIP pay like medium cargo?
And the distances are similar?
I’m thinking to pick the PC24 for it but I’m afraid of the small airports, like the Medium cargo that sometimes offer to your 250m for landing.
