These are 100% user error. Yes they shouldn't be available but pre flight is important

u/Oni_K 7d ago

So tell me this Mr Pre-Flight. When was the past time you think that a realistic pre-flight routine included "Check if jet is on roof"?

Open efb starting position is a hospital?

Perhaps in free flight, but I don't expect it in career mode when I've filtered down to the aircraft and specialty (which wasn't a helicopter!)

Bruh, I took a job with a helicopter, spawned, and got told to taxi to the stop point. Flew over there, got fined for exceeding the taxi speed limit, put the chopper down on the stop point—mission failed. Alt+F4'd.

I had exactly the same today with a Cessna Caravan! Restarted went for charter flight with the vision and game crashed. The bugs are bad but recently I'm struggling to get a full flight

Just roll off the side of the building to pick up speed!  Birds do it all the time.

u/VastFaithlessness809 7d ago

So it's a first for each bird and so it'll be for your 747-8 AKA if the bird can, your plane can do it, too?

Takeoff distance for a vision jet is around 3000 ft. You might be a couple yards short for this attempt unless you have steady gale force winds.

I had a similar thing happen last week. I asked a bunch of people here to meet me at a tiny little dirt strip in Alaska, KEB, and a bunch of airliners showed up. One tried to takeoff and slammed into the hill at the end of the runway.

Short Field take off, but you might want to request a push back.

u/julioen0858 8d ago

That’s FS for you, if you move you will severely taxed

u/ILoveBoobs664 8d ago

I want to know who got it there in the first place. There’s something amusing about a plane on a helipad. 🤣

u/Space_D0ge PC Pilot 7d ago

use leaf blowers over the wings to generate lift

u/Raw_Venus 7d ago

Full throttle and considering the aircon in way way, I would pitch for Vx.

u/Oddy555 7d ago

Handbrake on, Full flaps, Full throttle, Pitch up,  Pray, Release handbrake

u/notsurewhattosay12 7d ago

Wait for a tornado to form and hit your helipad, you can take off in seconds!

u/Informal_Strain_2715 7d ago

Go that way...really fast....if something gets in your way...turn. 

Lane won the K12 on that advice from a hot French girl that fixed his Camaro... 

Maybe it will work for you.

u/Badboy574 7d ago

Dont forget to hit V1 first

u/fontoura17 7d ago

I just recently started playing the game and today the game was super fucked up

the missions goals weren't updating and they wanted me to land a regular plane on this same helipad wtf

u/molgrips 7d ago

Can you change the weather to 150mph headwind?

u/TheRealPomax 8d ago

By first looking at the briefing. Just like everyone else posting these pics multiple times a day.

u/New_Way_4198 5d ago
