Runway landing locations are bugged in missions

Its a su2 error. Never had this before. Now almost every flight. Midrunway landings are seen as taxiways…dinged 20% at least

Plus getting a taxi speed exceeded ding on my landing rollout, on the runway.

Figured out that in my case

PC12 medevac no taxi way dinged and no landing gear forgotten penalty
PC12 VIP missions. Every landing the taxiway dinged and landing gear forgotten penalty

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

Hello,
This instance occurred in a Ferry Flight in a C172 on a small strip while landing on the runway specified on an unaltered Flight Plan.
It is difficult to improve ones proficiency status, if the simulator produces erroneous situations that arbitrarily penalize the aforementioned status.

Sad to say this is still an issue. I had modified the EFB to change the runway to an upwind runway before even moving my plane to the airport. I confirmed my EFB was accurate before loading into the airport at the fuel/wash maint screen. I even manually made sure to select the proper runway in advance via the comms menu. But responding quick comms on Final, or choosing it from the comms menu still, will cause you to land on the wrong runway. This just baffles me as I made sure to go through all the proper steps, get all the clearance, and then get half of my bonus despite flying through a 2 hour flight.

I also did a go around since I caught the runway was listed as “incorrect.” The game seems to want to slow progression by killing your rating. I’ve given up on trying to maintain an S rating and just hope to keep an A….but this makes it tough.

It’s the quick response itself that does it - if you have the comms window open you’ll see what happens - essentially the script checks the currently selected runway and goes ‘it’s not what I expect based on the mission brief’ and you will see the steps occurring of selecting the landing runway and triggering ‘on final’ to the original runway from the mission brief.

The workaround I use which is a little annoying but not hideous is, I try to do everything through the comms window the whole way, even if it’s not open, the 2 key (the main keyboard not the keypad) always maps to responding ‘On Final’.

I have never been able to change a runway on the arrival in Career. I have learned to keep the blue boxes open for the arrival and to make sure you go through the “Final” blue box. That is the only one that counts. Even if by some fluke you do get to change the runway, because ATC took some notice of your request (by a miracle!), if that blue marker is not there your mission will not end or as you say you get marked down for messing around during quite a tense phase of flight.

I did not know about the keyboard 2 key - that is a handy tip from arghroy :+1:
