At the start of EVERY mission we must watch our Pilot walk slowly and without emotion out towards an airplane. Then a 5 or so second shot of their expressionless face… FOR NO REASON. Please make this skippable, after the 9000th time its really irritating to sit through, knowing that its going to be followed by clicky task removing covers and chocks that should also be skippable (but thats in another thread).
The number of pointless time-wasters in 2024 is really a problem. If I wanted to watch a movie with a boring actor in it for a few minutes, I have other sources for that, I don’t need it in my sim.
Could be… If it wasn’t always the exact same motions and shots, it would be less tedious (if that is what they are up to), but as it is, its just irritating.
VR skips it
Maybe they can add a setting to turn on the VR cutscene skipping even when you’re not in VR
On a related note, watching other people play I saw that when doing helicopter search & rescue on steep terrain, it’s possible to hover right at the ground and trigger the cutscene, but then you can’t control your helicopter during the cutscene but the simulation continues during the cutscene and crashes your helicopter.
I haven’t flown helicopters myself, but does anyone know if the way VR skips cutscenes avoids that problem?
Bump, would be great to have an option to remove the cutscenes or at least keep control of the Aircraft.
It is really frustrating when landing on a sloped site on a Heli SAR mission and then have the controls freeze up and see your heli tumbling down the mountain.
Same problem with the Agriculture mission when landing on the truck.
So, please don’t freeze the controls during cutscenes.
