Medium cargo missions allow airports with too short runway length

That one was enough thats true, there are shorter ones than that though (870m i just encountered), the above was an example of grassy dirt runaway, i just mentioned its a bit short. Now another thing is that they were all doable, as I never needed to abort a mission for runaway length, and I’m sure that technically an 800m one is enough too, but for me, on those short ones I get to v1 like at the last quarter and with the trees usually surrounding, its a bit edgy. On landing can be a bit harder as the beginning might have trees and building, so you need to touch a bit further in, I’m sure I can improve on that one. Also note that I’m new to flight sim so I need to get better feel of it.


640m dirt, technically you can take off and land on it by the numbers, at least with the caravan. As an employee however, you would get the pc-12 on this round to land on it, which has a 661m landing distance on paved runaways.

You’re right but the 661m are landing distance with MLW over 50ft obstacle on paved runway. :wink:

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• most of the airports for the medium cargo missions are small and sketchy airports. I would like to see some regional airports as an option.

Here is 98FL

Caravan can handle short runways like this.

PC12 cant.

Got another great mission. This is for the PC-24. Can you even call this a runway? Whoever is in charge of creating missions is really bad at their job.

I have the same problem here. I bought the Pilatus PC24 and I can’t use it because I can’t take off or land on tiny airfields.

Where exactly are you?

I am on west europe. Is full of tiny airfields. I’m gonna try to move to another area.

That’s the worst area. Africa and Australia are the best for the PC24.

Been flying the PC-24 around the US and a few to the Bahamas. I’ve gotten a few airports that are too short for the jet, especially with the wonky flight model it has.

I don’t take any flight with either runway under 3000ft, Preferably 4000ft+ for takeoff and landing. Takes a bit more work on my end having to look up the runway lengths before flying but that’s realistic.

I’ve gotten 2 missions to private fly-in communities and multiple to airports that are closed in real life. What I don’t get are any flights to larger airports, they’re all basically to untowered rural airfields which doesn’t feel realistic, especially flying something like the SkyCourier or PC-24.

Also, while it is definitely most notable for medium cargo (today I saw a 162 m strip for the PC-24) and should be literally one line of code to avoid, it is not limited to this type of mission. E.g., half the landing sites for the timed VIP 737 missions also go to very sketchy airports (like the current one in Australia to YMMB. While the runway is long enough, the airport is very clearly just a GA airport with very narrow taxiways.

How about this for the PC24 :wink:

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Airport 4TA4 Pea Patch for medium cargo freelancer career mission is unsuitable for Cessna 208. I started medium cargo freelance cargo career mission with C208 departing Airport 4TA4 Pea Patch to Airport MMBG Badiraguato and the runway is not suitable for the aircraft. There is a grass runway next to the asphalt runway that would be suitable.

This runway is not suitable because it is too short for the Cessna 208 required 2,500 feet for take off. Also, there are fences immediately to the north and south of the runway that you will hit if you can’t rotate. Lastly, the game forces you to spawn to the west of the building at that runway and you have to taxi through a gate that is made for a vehicle. The Cessna 208 has too large of a wingspan to fit into that gate.

ICAO, coordinates, or specific location: ICAO 4TA4.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time you attempt to depart ICAO 4TA4.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Select ICAO 4TA4 and attempt to depart.
