ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Have completed this mission at least 4 times… It’s still there… Indefinitely. Will not go away and there are not other “Star” missions available. Not sure what the “Star” mission is, but seems it shouldn’t be the same one over and over again. On a note of realism… there aren’t that many tornados in Arizona… Arizona is definitely not a tornado prone area. If you want me shooting tornados on a daily basis, at least move this mission to the plains areas of Oklahoma, Kansas, or Missouri.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. I did once get one near TX but this one keeps coming back with a star on it and I’ve completed it multiple times.

Also, in the one new one I got it took quite a while to fly from the airport to the twister but the NPCs just repeated the couple lines of dialogue over and over the whole way there and back. It got really annoying.

Happened to me as well. The one started in KATA Atlanta, TX (which oddly enough is my local airport). They kept repeating the same lines. And yes, the tornado was located over 60 miles from the airport and there were plenty of regional airports closer that the mission could have started from.

Same issue at the same location for me. If I complete it, the mission reappears after some time (maybe the next day?).

It’s easy enough to just ignore it, but at least it’s an easy way of earning credits because you get the special mission bonus, ~16k credits for a very short flight.

Also I should add that the location of the tornado according to where the game tells me to fly is wrong. The actual tornado is in a different location, and by flying to that and ignoring the directions the game gives, I can activate the shooting.
