Ok, I grinded those 7 regular SAR missions to finally unlock the SAR-Hoist jobs. I say “grinded” because I dealt with a few “2407 Cloud Save” hiccups along the way. After I completed the SAR-Hoist gold mission to unlock all of the jobs, these are the results:
I tried to replicate the screenshot Jummivana shared as closely as possible. Obviously some of the stuff to the east on my map isn’t unlocked, but there’s enough to be representative.
There are no SAR-Hoist jobs that are rescuing victims on land. Only sea.
@Wilem35 You are talking abour helicopter SAR missions, right? This topic is specifically about LAND BASED SAR - Hoist missions.
So far 5 votes and no one can replicate what the test team was seeing. Also there are these 3 reports in the old topic after SU4 released. I think it’s pretty obvious this is not fixed at the moment
This issue needs to be re-opened, thanks to you and @Pugnae documenting and confirming it’s still an issue. Would be a huge improvement to the SAR missions once this is fixed.
@IceManDBB Good news. Please give more information. Is SAR-HOSIT mission available in mountainous areas or in smaller hilly areas as well? Need to pick up a missing person? Rescue a mountaineer, injured hiker? Can rescue be carried out with the UH 1 helicopter in addition to the H125 helicopter?
It’s pretty similar to the normal SAR, just that you have to hover over the person near the tent, then the guy in the back opens the side door, and when you are at the correct height you tell him to winch down. The missions seem to be in small hilly and mountainous regions. You can use the Huey for it.
CowTown on Youtube who does a lot of good Career Mission videos shows a few of these missions in a video he put out today. Right now they just seem to be in open ground but hopefully it will change.
During the SAR hoist mission in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, after the injured person is successfully lifted on board the helicopter using the rescue hoist, the hoist cable does not retract or disappear as expected. This clearly indicates a visual and functional issue with the hoist animation or state logic.
Can anyone tell me how many SAR-HOIST missions are currently available on land in the SU 5 beta version, and what locations the missions are located in?
I found a few of them in Alaska only.
