🛠️ WORKAROUND FOUND: How to Stop the VTOL Engine Loop bug in the Hangar.

If you’re using “Ride Of The Valkyries” and hear the jet engine loop endlessly after returning to the hangar—here’s how to prevent it:

1. Land the VTOL before entering the dropship zone (Ascend with Space key, descend with left ALT. Does not work with controllers.) You'll notice the landing gears drop down as you near the ground.

2. Wait for the engines to rev down completely—you’ll hear the hum fade like jump jets, just slower. Imagine a jet engine slowly dying down once the engine powers off, it isn't instant.

Enter the shuttle zone and remain idle (don’t hover or fly again, this is essential.)

Let the mission end passively just to be on the safe side and allow the game to register all its internal flags.

🧠 Why it works: The VTOL uses jump jet-like audio logic. If you don’t “turn off” the jets manually before the mission ends, the engine hum persists in the hangar.

✅ It is confirmed repeatable by me. I've tested it twice. It works. :crossout_craft::steamthumbsup:

NOTE: If you are playing a mission where you aren't extracted VIA Shuttle, then get on the ground ASAP once mission complete is confirmed, or just before, otherwise the same bug will take place. Returning to menu won't stop it, only full game restarts work.
