Helicopter SAR missions want you to land in unsuitable locations

It means it needs to be translated into the 18 languages fs2024 supports. What else does translation mean?

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

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• steep hills, which are unsuitable to land. If trying to keep the helicopter in a stable hover with skids partially touching the ground, the 3rd person video clip causes the helicopter to crash due to loss of control authority.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

• I’m experiencing the same issue. Some flights - in “Employee mode” you can partially land touching down on one skid, but then the controls go dead causing the helicopter to skid sideways. Sometimes you can lift off without crashing. However, I just purchased a SAR business and added my nice new helicopter (using many credits), and for some reason, it is less forgiving …and expensive, given the fact that I have to repair my own helicopter, while my reputation goes now.

…Guys and girls (at Microsoft or partners), there are limited numbers of missions that you have provided. Can someone please take a look and place each stranded person in a couple of different places suitable for landings rather than being in trees on a cliff. That, or allow for a larger radius for helicopters to land and the missing person can come to us (pretty easy fix here).
I work with SAR (in real life) and the SAR Techs usually hike the missing person out to the helicopter, which has landed nearby in a safe place. The helicopter does not land on the missing person. …just saying.

That being said, I’ve got a few suggestions for SAR that could assist with the above noted problem … I’ve qualified and have a winch on my helicopter - so why can’t we have that option for GSAR missions? …AND for the water rescues (also useful for sling load missions), could you please fix the mirrors so we can actually focus on the stranded person/SAR Tech on the hook …OR maybe add a small “look-down” camera in the cockpit to facilitate hovering over a target. While I realize this is a bit more complex (and less realistic), the issue is that it becomes (very) less realistic when you have to switch to a spot view to hover for a rescue (or a sling load).

Thanks for looking into this… AND, I really appreciate all your efforts (other than the bugs). You’ve created a ‘very sweet’ product! Cheers!!!

Someone needs to extract data from 2 databases so if trees are in an area of 10 meters away from the CSAR surviver he/she can’t be placed there .
Or the other way round…
But it seems to be an utopic task :grin:
