MSFS-2024 - The skydiver doesn't jump

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

In a skydiving mission, the 3rd and last skydiver did not jump even though all the conditions were met.

MEDIA

The speed is a little too high, but the first skydiver jumps:

In external view I have trouble keeping all the parameters optimal, but the second skydiver jumps:

I switch back to cockpit view, all parameters are optimal, the skydiver doesn’t move :sob:


Seeing no movement from the last jumper, I continued on my way, tried to get back to the jump lane, but nothing happened, just wasted time and another bad experience with MSFS-2024 …

Please remove true headings and stick to magnetic headings for these skydive missions.

I can’t get the divers to jump either. I follow everything and have all the checklist green but no one jumps. Really frustrating

YES and it is getting worse each day

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
I am on very steady course, speed and altitude, all green indications there. I am told to press Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-Z so I do that but only one guy jumps. Nothing else happens for a whole minute while sitll all green then finally another guy jumps, and this continues, one jumper per minute all the while I have 3 green lights and keep pressing Ctrl-Z in hopes the jumpers will go. 12 minutes later the jumpers end up all over the Pacific Ocean but nobody seems to care.

Back at base after a perfectly smooth landing I am given a big fat Zero for “Execution” and 50% for my smooth landing. The whole flight was graded “C”.

Reputation down a notch, just as i was approaching grade A. Come on Asobo, this is an easy fix, please do it.

UPDATE: Tried another jump flight - this time all 3 jumpers left within about 30 sec but I still got
ZERO on Execution Time.

Just tried skydiving on C208. Could’t finish the mission because skydivers are glitching and getting stuck. Previously this problem could be solved by switching cameras but now it’s “fixed” so now it’s almost impossible to complete the mission.

I am also having this issue on series X. I never had an issue with the Cessna 172 and 3 jumpers. Now that i have turbo prop i am in a plane with 8 to 12 jumpers.. sometimes half way thru a jumper will glitch and if you red light and green light again, theyll continue on but there is not a thing that ive found thatll get the last jumper/instructor to jump. He glitches out at first and you can red light him and he sits down but is glued to the plane when you green light him. Frustrating.

Having the same exact issue as the above commenters. Specifically the Cessna 208. The last jumper will not exit the plane no matter how many times you redo the jump-run and cycle the red/green lights. Was not having the issue on the 172.

On Series X.

Mine only says “press Z”, nothing happens, I went into the keybinder and bound it to another key with the same result.

Main mission type simply does not work after almost a year of being out. Do better.

I’m having the same problem here; nothing happens when I press the red and green lights. It’s only with this airplane.

Same on PC. Skydivers are not moving fm the GRAND CARAVAN. What a mess!!! Bulls eye

The problem are the Bravo assignments. Have to be deleted - if not keyboard is not responding..

Hahaha, indeed…… as long as the skydivers are high enough to pull the cord

I just bombed a mish in a Kodiak. Same thing. Met all parameters. everyone jumped but one. I even put the thing on autopilot.
