Helicopters are bouncing and jumping around causing instant crashes

Still broken for me today, worked fine this morning but this afternoon everytime mission start helicopter gets launched into the air, tried all choppers and all of them do the same.

Only here to voice my frustration this wasn’t fixed in the latest patch.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, but it seems to do it way more often at many airports, does it in free flight mode, and it seems to be happening in both employee/freelance mode much more, since the last patch (1.2.7.0) Every Search and Rescue mission seem to also do it, as I have done a couple before the patch, but now I don’t think I can do any of them.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I’ve tried re-installing MSFS24, I’ve updated everything possible on my PC, rolled back latest updates, nothing is working. My machine doesn’t have much on it, its just Steam/games. I rarely ever have odd issues, or crashes with anything. This is happening so often, its becoming very frustrating, because I paid a lot of money, for something I cannot use.

  • It seems as though it has something to do with the Cabri G2 helicopter, I have never purchased a plane, only the G2, and I feel like it has to do with weight, because while the h125 has done it many times, it seems like heavier crafts start doing it very slightly, then stops. I can’t test anything, nor do I want to, because when this happens with a purchased vehicle, its gone (crashes) before you can even click “Start the flight” and if you choose a employee mission, you lose almost the entire bar of the S,A,B,C rating your at.

Now the H125 works fine for me, thanks for fixing the error

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:
• Attempted the free flight work around and the helicopter is bouncing in free flight as well. Unable to use helicopters anymore as they bounce any time they are on the ground

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
• N/A

WOW! thats incredible! I have NOT seen that happen to me at all. Sorry that you are experiencing this.

Same for me here. Any heli has this issue since today. Before I got this issue sometimes, but from today on, it is systematic. Went from almost S from reputation to B… Freelance missions with helis are now unplayable.

Cannot post my videos, but I came to the same situation as [driiftkiing95] above

Does the same issue occur for you when following the OP’s reproduction steps?
I start a mission.

Provide additional information to complete the original problem description:
I start the mission, and already in the hangar I can see the helicopter jumping around. When I enter the mission, it continues to bounce. After the cutscene, I immediately get the message that the aircraft has crashed, and the mission ends.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/videos:
Unfortunately, I didn’t take any, as I sold the helicopter again.

This is getting worse: I now have the issue with any heli mission (not only the freelance missions, but with ALL of the passengers + rescue missions)

Never had this issue before since today. Seems only the H125 is affected. Have done a lot in career mode with the H125 until a few hours ago.

Both career, preface career, free flight, helicopter selection

EDIT:

OK… I quit the sim, deleted the H125 streamed package, restarted and it seems fixed for now

Tried the same trick… It did NOT work.
I got the same issue with the Cabri as well

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

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Yes, though the issue is on both player owned and mission helicopters. Helicopter wildly bounces during premission cutscene, then bounces with enough force to cause it to crash once i press Shift + C to enter. Though in certain vehicles they will simply crash as soon as control is gained after pre-mission cutscene.

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:

  • Started today with crashing in Career mode. Tested in Free Flight. The Heli starts shaking when - from my view - coming to ground effect. When touching down gently and pushing the collective full down, it bounds back and crashed.

I am shocked this hasn’t been fixed yet, been siding with Microsoft since launch about all the issues as game was still playable but this is a game breaking glitch when you only play career and spent all your money on a helicopter
