Helicopter SAR - No Missions Available

Hello,

I completed the prerequisites for helicopter SAR missions. However, there are no helicopter SAR missions, for me.

I tried a few other missions. Restarted the sim. I re took the exams for the prerequisites, I read that might fix the bug, it did not for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I have two helicopters, one stationed in the Swiss Alps and one in Lake Tahoe. The Alps generate many more search and rescue missions than I can ever hope to complete.

I (and many others) have had a few helicopter SAR missions show on the map, completed them and then seen 20+ show up over Europe.
Only to come back to play and ALL helicopter SAR are gone, not a single one anywhere on the entire planet.

Yesterday, they came back after having none for a few days.
I done many of them.
Same thing this morning too.
Seemed like it was fixed.

Then come to play tonight ..and they are ALL gone again, not a single one anywhere on the entire planet.. again.
No normal Heli SAR and no Heli SAR Hoist missions anywhere despite seeing and doing plenty just recently.

(PC, Steam)

Well, I finally got to 10 SAR missions. Problem was I had to keep doing tthe same 3 missions over and over. I sure wish they would just hire the team building the Random and Everywhere mission add on for the Hype Performance H145. They get it.

Missions where I have to land on almost vertical surfaces and then watch the animated person being rescued chase the H125 as it sides down the hill is frustrating.

Not to mention the constant parade of errors. The scoring is a mess. I get docked for incorrect landing spots and I never touch the ground, etc, etc.

I so badly want to play the career mode but it is so broken.

Same here, they show like 10 or so, then all of a sudden, none to be found :slight_smile: Any idea why?

Say Intention released a new version a few days ago that lets you create a mission anywhere and with any plane/helicopter. It does not tie back to career mode, according to their website, yet. But they have plans to either create that functionality or explore other third party options. I don’t do a lot with ATC at this point but being able to fly a mission from random airport in any aircraft is awesome. I’ll be looking into this today.

Swiss Alps usually has a lot.

Moved to User Support Hub as OP is requesting assistance.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a few more SAR missions.

I did the requisite to gain hoist qualification, did that one gold mission in China Sea, found one SAR hoist off south coast of Australia and that’s it. Nothing ever since - several weeks have passed since. Where the heck are they?

Also experienced the same regarding one day lots of SAR in the Pyrenees and European Alps, next day hardly any, or none at all. Been none for ages now. I wasted my time buying my own SAR hoist heli but never been able to use it, except for the same SAR mission in SE Australia, where the missing person is always in the same place :joy: My retrieval time is exceptional on that one lol.

I have the same problem, I did 2 SAR missions as Employee, failed a couple and no more missions show up. I can’t continue with the Hoist Specialisation because they require SAR missions to be done. Can someone help me please?


I think I managed to find a way to popup more SAR missions. I simply travel to airports around the area, by paying to transport you, this will open new areas. Look at the map for heliports or airports and teleport there. I did this around Europe and many-many-many SAR missions started popping up (even in areas I had previously being).
