ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Some airports related to missions are ridiculous and unrealistic. E.g. getting spawned right next to a runway that’s about as wide as a 1.5 car widths (yes there were cars on the runway), and then getting penalised for not holding short when I haven’t even started moving yet. These airports usually either have little to no markings and if its a grass runway you have to guess and if you get it wrong then you get penalised for “wheel out of runway”.
Want to skip to takeoff? Well that depends if you want your aircraft to “crash” and fall from the sky, incurring damage costs and not being able to take off with the damage anyway.
With all that being said at least I got some chocks (see below SS)
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
I would say 1/3 missions are spawned into unreasonable silly airports, as for the odds of one of the issues above occurring I would say 50%
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Play career mode
[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• see video below after using skip to next step, my aircraft was rendered unable to taxi or move my craft - airport KAVO Avon park executive
Nice loaded into an airline charter flight, but it autoskips some parts and guess what I see next? Oh and of course the insane repair bill afterwards too.
Unsuitable airport for plane is one issue (ldg/to distance vs rwy lenght)
Unsuitable airport for weather/daytime is another.
(IMC, but “airport” has no precision approaches, many “airports” have no rwy lights, that will get interesting once/if night flights work in Career)
Buildings or trees being where they should not be is another big problem.
What is less reported, there are many airports, where the visible runway is not where the game thinks the runway is.
I had several cases where EFB says there is an bitumen rwy, but if I land on the only visible strip of bitumen anywhere near, I instantly get punished for landing outside runway, and entering taxiway without clearence.#
On grass fields it is even worse, EFB says rwy is like 1000*800m.
It all looks the same, but game needs you to land in exactly the right spot, without showing where it is.
This needs some fixing, and if that is not possible in reasonable time, the penalties for landing outside rwy and taxi incursion should be disabled on all “airports” that have not been confirmed to have correct position of rwy, txway, parking and HOLD SHORTS…
It would like to know if Asobo intends to do something to fix those issues in general (procedurally or by manual review), or if only user reported problems at specific locations will get fixed.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I just started career mode. My 2nd mission was a flightseeing one. “Airport” was a bumpy dirt field, short, parking area was between two trees that you couldn’t avoid.
One after that was impossible to land on without crashing into trees at the end.
