Search and rescue with planes places target on impossible surface

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

After unlocking search and rescue missions, most of the ones where you use a plane feature the person on a surface you either

  1. Can’t land on
    or
  2. Can’t take off from

For instance, the surface will be too short to land. If you can land, the surface will be full of craters and bumps and you cannot take off. These missions need some work or to be removed from the game. It’s clear they were designed with helicopters in mind and no thought given to airplanes.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

Yes

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Almost every mission, but not every.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• No the helicopter missions they place the target on the side of a sheer cliff surrounded by trees so you cannot complete the mission there either.

lol the latest one… This target wont even activate. Can’t use comms, can’t rescue him. SAR missions w/o winch are so bugged atm.
