Alaska Mis-Adventures

[grmpyracer]

A couple of known problems I have encountered with the new Alaska, a) Carbon Cub, when flying and you do a "Skip to Waypoint" regardless of your fuel load, when you come out of the skip you will be out of fuel.
b) regardless of aircraft used, when flying a freight or passenger job, again, if you use the Skip To feature, just as you exit, you will encounter major altitude changes, causing passengers to puke, or the Drill Instructor co pilot to go ballistic.

Whats up with the changes???????????????????:mad:

Hi there!

Regarding your 2nd point, it has happened to me several times in Hawaii map, especially after the last title update. Most often you get a yellow question mark in the passengers icon and at the end of the job you have unsatisfied passengers.
Here is what I do and avoid it, almost 100%. Before using the Skip option, line up at an altitude of at least 800ft above ground and during the loading phase, if you use a joystick (as I do) leave the joystick handle to neutral position, or a bit towards descend. In my case, this works fine. Hope it helps.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that same thing happens in case you forget to put the flaps at 0 before using the Skip option.

regarding the altitude changes, thanks, but I have even flown to cruise altitude before the "Skip To" and still have about a 50% chance of coming out good on the other side. This in Alaska not as much in the Hawaii

See the thread on Carbon Cub Fuel Consumption (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2773209). When skipping, it looks like the Cub uses about twice as much fuel as normal. Do the mission without skipping and it uses the normal amount of fuel.

Ehh, it's mostly that it looks like the function is burning through fuel at a higher mixture/throttle setting than was previously set before the skip function was hit.

any thoughts on the crazy changes in altitude when leaving the function?
