Passenger Transport Missions Are Unplayable

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Passenger transport freelance & employee missions are completely unplayable. For the Boeing 737 MAX employee missions, I either get soft-locked before taxiing or cannot load them at all. If I skip to taxi, the mission fails and says I left the gate too early. For the Saab employee missions, my game either crashes when trying to load the mission or I get into the mission for about 5 seconds before it fails and says I left the gate too early. The same thing happens for the ES-30 freelance missions, the same mission fail bug occurs and my landing gear is broken. I had to sell that airplane because I could not use it at all. Passenger transport missions are a main feature of this game and I cannot even play them.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
I have no community mods or add-ons.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Choose an employee or freelance mission in the airline passenger transport category
  2. Start mission (bugs occur whether or not I edit the flight plan in the EFB)
  3. Go through boarding process up until taxi (if the game does not bug or crash before then). If game soft locks, which it does every time, skip to taxi and it will fail the mission.

This also occurs with the Boeing 737 MAX. I get soft-locked trying to request taxi clearance. Skipping to taxi gives me that mission failure.

This is what I get for 20 minutes over the last 3 times trying to launch my first airliner career mission.

Asobo fix this!!!

There’s something else to make passenger’s flights unplayable: their talking and voices, always something like “I’m so happy to share this with you”, or “I was expecting to have drum beats when we were taking off”, those annoying nonsense kind of things. It would be nice to have an option to simply disable their voice and shut them up, keeping ATC clearance and things like that.

What exactly do you mean by “soft locked”? Do you have a screenshot of what you see? I’m planning to do these missions soon. I just did the mission to unlock them.

Happened to me 3 times in a row with the ES-30. Start mission. Skip to taxi. Instant failed mission, broken landing gear, millions of dollars lost.
