Pipistrel Virus Inappropriate for 1st First Flight Career Mission

[FadamorII]

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

I restarted my Career Mode after realizing I had made some poor choices the first time around. After earning my PPL, I was presented with my first First Flight mission - only it wasn’t in a C172, it was in a Pipistrel Virus (an aptly-named aircraft if there ever was one.) I get in the plane - and my head pops out of the fuselage back where baggage should be. Strike One. I start boarding, but the client never enters the plane and instead moonwalks to the right and behind the passenger door. Strike Two. While still parked, I check the operation of the flaps and receive an excessive speed strike for the flaps. Strike Three, Get this plane OUT OF HERE!
I examine the controls and realize this is a constant-speed prop aircraft. Why would a pilot who just received their PPL in a C172 be expected to know what to do with a constant-speed prop aircraft?! Strike FOUR. THIS is why allowing this aircraft to be randomly assigned to a required mission is “inappropriate”.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time I tried to complete this mission so far.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

1. I’m not sure. I fully expected this flight to be in a C172, yet this CORONAVIRUS was assigned instead. The assignment appears to be randomly generated inside the Career Module. Once it got assigned, no amount of Aborts cleared the Virus from this mission. The video referenced is of when I finally completed it.

Strike 5, The alternator doesnt work, so you lose battery/avionics after 30 mins.

Woah. Looks like I was just about to lose the electronics when I shut down.

It appears the new patch addressed the power issue in the Pipistrel.

• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The first mission after flight school and taking the ppl in the C172, should not be a different plane. But in my case it also was the Pipistrel Virus. And it came with visual bugs. The passenger never entered the plane but stayed in a walking animation outside of the plane the entire flight, while my character upper body was sticking out of the plane.
