Unsure if related, but after trying to launch the mission again I get this:

[SausageCopter]

got the same thing in the TBM during cruise

[ElSkiel]

I got this error when I was close to landing after 2 hours of mission. I am VERY angry

[GaugeForever]

The start location unavailable can show up if you abort a mission and then try to take it again. You may want to make a separate bug report about that as I have also encountered it.

[ElSkiel]

I have lost a 3h:30m mission when I was close to landing AGAIN.

The game is unplayable.

Same here and has happened twice. But the only common thing I can think of is that I did escape out into the menu to change something in the settings and was flying in missions where the time had a little red dot on them. Might have something to do with it being “paused” when live time is involved. I dunno, grasping at straws to try to not waste time.

Same here in a TBM. Cant fly it as it is just stops with this error message after a few minutes into the flight.

Error occurred on shutdown, long freelance cargo mission. Not pleased…

@TrentKama

Error occurred on shutdown, long freelance cargo mission. Not pleased…

Same here, 3 crashes ot mission success screen after about 2 hour flights, without error message and now this error 40ft before touchdown. On 5 flown missions today I was paid for 1! This is so frustrating I’m considering refund.

You owe me 600000 credits!

IIt gets really annoying now. I thing as more I play the more this error appears.
Actually I haven’t completed any mission from two days because of this and other errors apearing on the screen. Its more and more frustrating.

[macman301]

!00% agree, this error now crashes every single mission at various stages of flight. PLEASE FIX THIS!

[macman301]

A Zendesk support ticket was created, please go to the official site and submit a support ticket if you have this issue so they will fix it. Career mode is completely unplayable…

[FDWonline]

Happened 2 times at the end of a long flight…

[outermarker8412]

Literally can’t finish a single freelancer mission because of this.

[LetsGoBrando570]

Happening on Series X console too. I’ve wasted hours on missions only to have this keep happening. I’m done with it for a while. This has to be the most bugged game I have ever played.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• N/A (Happening in Cargo Freelance missions)

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• This has happened to me a significant amount of times. Close to 30% of all career missions I have tried. Tonight it has been 100% of missions. 3+ hours of flying, 4+ hours of time in game, just to have it crash in the middle (Sometimes beginning, sometimes end) of flights

Similar, trying to start a helicopter mission, clicked “Fly Now” and got this:

@macman301 I don’t think zendesk is being used for MSFS24:

As this error has a specific error code, my suspicion is that MSFS will automatically log every instance of it within their own internal analytics. Some dev is probably looking at a graph right now that’s counting every occurrence of an error code and knocking them off from top-to-bottom. Hopefully this is the case, and it’ll get sorted in the coming patch.
