Helicopter Search & Rescue hoist missions - descent bug?
Hi everyone,
I started playing MSFS 2024 on PS5 about 3 months ago.
I really enjoy doing helicopter missions in Career Mode. My favorite missions are Search & Rescue, especially the hoist missions.
However, I have a problem with some of these missions. When I reach the person who needs to be rescued, the helicopter sometimes will not descend. I cannot get into the position needed to start the hoist.
I read that this may be a common bug. I also found advice to land somewhere nearby and then get out and walk to the person. Apparently, the checkpoint should count as completed this way.
I have tried this, but I still cannot complete the mission.
Are other people having the same problem? Is there a reliable way to fix or work around this bug?
I am playing on PS5, if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
