ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

While flying out on a mission in cruise (following the preset flight plan the career mode mission gave me), I notice that my flight plan ends at a VOR or other waypoint, and no destination airport is in the flight plan. I think “I’ll just load it myself using what it says in the EFB” but the EFB also does not have the destination, and oddly enough I couldn’t even click the button in the EFB to add my own.

The major issue with this is that there is no way to figure out where the destination airport of the mission is supposed to be because it is not listed anywhere in the UI after you start a mission, unless you were given some clues. The first time it happened I only had a town destination name in the mission title on the pause screen (i.e. “service to Grand Rapids”). The second time it happened the town listed had multiple airports, and I had to go back to read ATCs IFR clearance to see the actual code of the airport where I needed to fly to (shame on me for not checking my flightplan before takeoff I guess). I feel like this is a big issue because if it is not noticed before takeoff, you could be in over an hour long flight and then suddenly discover that the EFB and avionics don’t list where you are going, and then be unable to complete the mission because you can’t find the appropriate location.

I know verifying the destination in the avionics is very basic flight planning, but career mode gives you the expectation that this will be listed in the EFB, and when it’s not it is very suprising.

The workaround is to write down the destination with pen (or keyboard) from the very first mission breifing screen, where the destination is clearly listed.

To be clear, I’ve only seen this DURING a mission, not before on the briefing screen (but it may have happened there aswell)

This issue you’re describing is indeed common to me in the Career Mode , although it often occurs not in the first mission immediately after booting the game, but more typically in the second or third one.

I also write down the destination airport from the initial mission briefing screen for that reason. But the EFB is lock and I cannot enter it as destination, so I add the airport at the last waypoint.

The expectation set by Career Mode is that all necessary details are provided in the EFB, which makes its absence surprising and disruptive to gameplay.
