ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Runway locations are bugged. Every cargo mission I do I land on the designated runway and I get flagged for undesignated landing location… not talking about split runway or anything like that I’m talking about big full size runways clearly labeled and it still tells me I’m landing on the wrong runway.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Doing literally the only medium cargo mission I can find after spending 400k to ship my C208. I land at the correct airport (Al Baha) I make all the ATC announcement, ensure its the correct runway. Land, and when I stop Mission failed landed at wrong location. How can it be the wrong location? Blue brackets point me at it, was an ILS appoach and game programed in the ILS frequency and I followed it in.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

1.Select mission
2. Spend 6 hours of your life flying the mission
3. Land where the EFB, Flight Plan, flight plan programed ILS, ATC, and blue brackets all tell you.
4. Misson failed Screen for landing at the “wrong airport”
5. Realized you made no money for getting the plane to the right place and have to spend more money looking to a C208 mission when all there is are PC12 missions.
6. Waste your life.

Fix your game, I dont appreciate wasting what little free time I have for no reason.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes, every time I land on a designated runway I get flagged in cargo missions. I always use the EFB to file my route with ATC and send to avionics, if that makes a difference. Usually I don’t change anything but cargo weight and TAS on the heading directions. Occasionally I play with different approach procedures for fun and very rarely do I actually change the designated runway from default.

I just realized what at least some of the problem is… whatever runway is in your plan and the one you choose to land on during approach with atc for vfr flights at least… when you get to the final,the pilot (you) always calls the runway running the opposite direction 18vs36 etc… then you get the aviator performance ding…

I’ve received this twice now on medium cargo missions with the Pilatus PC-12 where I land on the correct runway in the flight plan and I get my performance docked because it says i’ve landed in an undesignated landing area. Current mission was “Cargo Transport Medium - Standard freight from Rangárþing to Fjarðabyggð” in Iceland, Runway 08.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Landing on runways always seems to be an undesignated spot. Thus resulting in a performance deduction. Small strips have no markings on them so how does anyone know what is undesignated. At least you get to land which on these tiny strips is a challenge to say the least. Many runways are just far too short for the mission offered.

Did you experience this issue before you joined the Beta?
Yes
ICAO, coordinates, or specific location:
All over middle east

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Land, get a performance “ding” and less XP resulting in rating loss

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• every thing was sayingvto land runway 09 (efb atc flight plan guide boxes atc callouts)
Landed runway 09 got ding with landed in undesignated area. Please fix your game or dont have it for purchase. Better get some free stuff, because there is no way you should be allowed to charge this much for such a glitchy, buggy game.

So many missions to finally have enough for that sweet Pilatus PC-12. She’s brand spankin new… sadly you’ll die if you fly above FL180 … but thats ok…its ok. We about to move some medium cargo and make real money.

Hit free mode for 20 test landings and touch and go’s… no way we are going to crash on our first mission. Bindings perfect… butter all over the runway… I’m ready.

Not a single missed ATC message… everything going great as I bounce and sway FL180. There is no better approach in the history of flight simulator than the one I was flying yesterday… it was perfect. Until… a few feet before touchdown. It was a wonk of things that made me believe the game was just angry with me for being so good at flying. Clear to land runway 12? welp that was a lie…from S to B for you… oh and your brakes… yeah they no longer work…those frames…yeah you don’t need those. Parking brake eh?.. yeah lets send you into the field even though you were basically stalling on touchdown with full reverse thrust engaged. I swear to god I was going to break the piper cub record record for short landing. This game just said “curse you and this mission in particular”.

Team you are going to lose people making the step from vision jet to medium cargo if you don’t get this under control. This is a “I quit” caliber bug. The time loss is so bad you should consider temporarily disabling this part of the game until you can understand why this is happening. Respect your customers time.

Having cried about this enough… I’m going to do it again. I love this career mode and I will defeat it. As per one suggestion in this thread… im going to read the runway number as its written on the tarmac before i land… we all might be landing the wrong way and the game is freaking out when we touchdown… gonna test.

You dont have to go to FL180 or above - just tell the EFB prior to flying what FL you want. Load to ATC and load to avionics.

The PC12 is very forgiving but the ATC procedures are a nightmare, they never seem to fluidly complete a mission. Sometimes I have landed at the airport and have literally had to take off again a couple of times, change the runway, reload it into avionics just so I can get a Tower to approve me for landing. Then when you do land you will get an aviator performance ding for it being in the wrong place. I even had them put the Hold box at the end of a long runway. When I got there it disappeared and I got a performance ding for entering taxiway without permission. Then it shifted the Parking box to the other end of the very long runway - NUTS.

Stick at it, the rewards do come occasionally!

Really getting annoyed by getting Undesignated Landing Area for a runway I was told to land on, was the runway filed in the flight plan, and the runway that makes sense for the weather.

KMPZ/33 MCM40 TBN HRO RAZRS BATEZ JETTT 00TX/34

I lose 25% of my Aviator Performance for this bug plus the 15% Aircraft Stress Limit for the Cessna 408 for a total of 40% virtually every single time I fly.

:angry:

This with the following exception:

When you turn final you have to make a radio call to say you are on final. LISTEN TO THIS CALL. This is where it starts to go wrong. Most of the time you will say you are on final for the OPPOSITE runway. In this case do a circuit and land on that runway. If you try to land on the origianal runway you will get the penalty.

I always now select runway prior to making radio call - I still get dings for missed radio reports and undesignated landings - of course then also performance losses and reputation ratings which lowers passive income!

for me, this happens when ATC changes the runway from the runway filed at mission start.

its unclear why they do this, doesn’t seem wind related, and seems to happen more at some airfields than others.

as above the way around it, is to bring up the comms panel and do select runway, and then report position/final thru that window (only!)

one important bug is (that catches me out),
if you select a runway thru the comms window, and report position.
you cannot use the default (press enter) for final, it will use the wrong runway !

unfortunately, I have found that occasionally, using the comms panel will ‘confuse’ ATC, and stop the mission progression.
(sometimes, you can then takeoff again - fly to final , and do it again to fix it - lol )

they really need to take these ATC steps out of career mode, or at least lessen reputation reduction, as they are so unreliable.
its pretty frustrating being knocked from S → A (regularly) due to ATC screwing up.

(e.g. being spawned on the runway, and being done for no taxi clearance/runway encroachment)

I was well aware of this and used atc to change runway had to do this two times because the switched back to the original (which would have had me landing with a tail wind) ill just persevere with it but its something that needs to be fixed.
