ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Completed the first helicopter exam. Examiner told me I passed. Have turned everything off. Rotor is stopped. I have landed. I am on the ground. I have passed. Everything is turned off. And the mission will not end.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
I have added nothing to the community folder.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
This is the first time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Career mode.
  2. Take first helicopeter examination for licence.
    3.Pass the test.
    4.Sit on the ground with nothing happening, hoping to Christ you do not have to do this again because doing anything in VR with the horribly implemented menu and instruction system is like pulling teeth.

I have the same problem. Have you found the solution?

I think it is part of the general problem of bugged menus. When i did the exam again the intructions appeared to close down the heli with a keyboard command (i can’t remember what it was sorry).

I think the issue was with that message not appearing and so could not complete.

BUT, it should have completed when the aircraft was shut down, with the rotor stopped and the rotor brake applied.

I think the best thing to do atm in MSFS 2024 is free flight. Cos the menu bugs are so frustrating in Career mode. My ‘reputation’ has taken a battering for things i cannot do because the instructions do not appear. Including sometimes the taxi ribbon, with the stop spots.

Same problem here. Battled like hell to get the xbox controller to get the throttle correct with little taps, also fought the helicopter changing the throttle on me, on it’s own. Landed finally, sat there, watched rotor blades slowdown; and nothing. Passed though, for whatever that is worth. I guess I will go do some low paying missions to try and afford the high prices of anything. Wemod needs to hurry up on a mod for the money on this Game.

I think the ‘solution’ is to just wait until they fix menus and cursor bugs in VR.

Until then free flight in the r66 and herding animals is hella fun!

It would seem to me that the game should at least halfway work before they release it. Waiting on them to ‘fix’ anything is like being a good little serf considering. Especially for those who paid the 200 USD price for a broken, beta release at best.

I am not giving them a free pass. I am just taking a path of least resistance.

And I am not fully taking my own advice. Did the more powerful helicopters certification just now in VR. Sometimes it recognises my ‘quick reply’ button inputs. Sometimes it doesn’t.

There was much swearing and gnashing ot teeth.

I would not really be adverse to some ‘tar and feathering’ right now.

Restart aircraft and then re-do shut down.
This has worked for me several times when it will not exit after trying shut down.

Hope that works for you.
