ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
When a mission starts on Airports that don’t have taxiways, parking spots or holdshorts (so pretty much most of backcountry grass runways) the player gets an instant “entered runway without announcement” penalty. The aircraft spawns cold and dark on the runway already, so there is no way to announce it after startup of aircraft.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Start a mission on a airport without parking spots, taxiways or hold shorts where the aircraft spawns directly on the runway. In my case it was a helicopter SAR from LEAF, a skydiving mission from LEDM and some other helicopter agricultural mission where I can’t rember the airports ICAOs.
- start up aircraft and go through the usual calls to get ready to taxi
- get penalty for “entering runway without announcement”
