First career mission after SU1. As soon as the mission loaded (to conduct preflight), the aircraft took off and crashed, ending the mission and significantly reducing reputation score.

Yup- I just had this exact same thing happen on a career mode mission from RJCC to RJAF… It was doing the little animation of the pilot walking up to the plane and in the background you can see the plane going crazy out of control and crashing while the pilot is walking up. Then, it gives you an option to restart and then says it cannot restart and takes you back to the HQ and takes your reputation down a massive amount. What a load of ■■■■.

Same happend with the pc-12 and pc-24 in career. It looks like airport surface is unstable. In vr you can see some wierd spikes on the tarmac

This one has nothing to do with the airport surface or anything like that… It legit happens when you haven’t even entered the plane yet. It happens at the same time that your avatar is walking up to the plane- in the background you can see the plane literally take off and crash all on its own. So you have zero control over anything and then the game goes back to HQ and destroys your reputation score.

I gotboth crashed after in entered the plane. Did not started engine en plane started bouncing and crashed. Damaging the gear and reputation

As I am walking towards the plane, I see it being thrown in the distance and crash!!!
