Loaded into Career Mission with instant failure and reputation decrease


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

I just tried a skydiving mission in career with a Cessna caravan somewhere around Houston, Texas. I am not sure the specific airport. It loaded me in and as the game was “loading” I could tell the plane and my character was standing in about 6 inches of water. I was going to try and do the pre-flight anyways but as soon as it finished loading, the mission failed before I could even move an inch. It said that I moved the airplane before completing pre-flight and it was an immediate mission failure and my reputation went down instantly.
This is completely unacceptable to be having such huge failures 8 months after launch. Especially with how hard career mode is with all the other glitches. Its hard enough to complete a normal career mode without any glitches that affect my score through no fault of my own, but to not even have a chance with an auto failure is just insult to injury.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

I just installed the game 3 days ago from MS store and have zero mods and zero marketplace purchases. I never even ran MSFS 2020 on this computer. (I did have 2020 on xbox though)

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

So far I have only had a game ending failure this one time in 3 days.

Hi @UnworthyChimp, this issue is caused by problems at the airport. Specifically the aircraft spawn points being obstructed, blocked, or (in this case) underwater.

Please report affected airports and give as much detail as you can in this topic: MSFS 2024 Airport / Helipad Issue Tracker
