Helicopter SAR missions want you to land in unsuitable locations

Interesting, I will give this a go today. I landed amognst trees the other day after 2 crashes. Not sure how I pulled this one off…

You have to be a bit closer from target, worked for me on my last 4 missions

Wow so lucky :joy:
Why there is no cutscene on this one ?

Stop doing the missions. You only get frustrated :see_no_evil:
Its pathetic.
I guess that we are not so many that flies helicopter compared to fixed wing. Therefore they focus on fixed wing bugs first.

The entire career path in MSFS 2024 was obviously rushed in an attempt to sell something “new” about the sim. From the rampant typos in NPC speech to unplayable SAR missions, aircraft that spawn on rooftops, and even lack of flight plans that result in the local airport refusing to give you taxi clearance… Just don’t bother with it. MS/Asobo should be thoroughly embarrassed, but of course they aren’t because they got their money through bait & switch.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

• same here. Most rescue missions are broken. No place to land safe

what a shame





I had a SAR mission in Canada where the absolute closest area available to land was about a mile away. Needless to say, the game didn’t think that was close enough to retrieve lost hiker. The list of bugs in this game is ridiculously long, and I didn’t sign up to be an alpha tester.
