ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: After the SU3 update passenger transport missions have a high chance of mission failure right after loading into the mission. Without pressing a single button a mission failure screen will appear saying the usual “You left the parking stand before completing ground-handling procedures” which used to only happen when you skipped to taxi. So basically you spend money on plane transfers fuel and other stuff and then you have to start all over again when you mission fails when it’s not your fault.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Intermittently, 50% of the time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. FInd a random passenger transport mission

  2. Start the mission

  3. 5-10 seconds after starting mission mission failure screen will occur

YOUR SETTINGS

Didn’t press anything and the mission automatically failed twice in a row now

This is exactly what has been happening ever since release with the 737, SAAB and other airplanes. It has been marked as “no-repo”. It’s absurd and a direct insult to all those who purchased this overpriced POS in Alpha stage, which should have been a free update to MSFS.

From the look of it, you started the mission at an airport without a jetway. There’s a known bug that if you start a mission at an airport without a jetway, you’ll get that failure. Why doesn’t Asobo make it so that on those airports that the game utilizes stairs and a bus? I have no idea. I believe it’s this very issue that plagues the ES-30 til this day, but every Sim update, the problem is marked fixed til the player shows otherwise

Thanks for pointing out the bug but I can’t really do anything since the game just teleported me there anyway sometimes it doesn’t sometimes it does

You can control it to point just pick missions flying out of major airports that most likely have jetways smaller airport will have either none or limited jetways like for example I live in Tampa I know if I get a flight out of that area I’ll look to see if it’s flying out of either tpa or pie. If tpa then I’m golden if pie then I skip it because pie has like 2 or three jetways and it’s crapshoot if you get a jetway slot.

Yeah I realised smaller airports have a higher chance of the bug occuring

7

This isn’t really solved though.

Another workaround is skip to taxi. But then you get the bug of 0% for respecting the condition of the aircraft

This isn’t solved. Has a workaround, yes, working sometimes, yes. Skip to taxi always works in 99%, but this is not the way the procedure must be working (and you will penalize, too). Devs, please look after what triggers this unwanted event (and sometimes the “you crashed the aircraft”) when flying airliners in career mode.
