Cessna dedicated-server check — 8 October 2026

Reforger 1.8.0.13, Cessna 172 1.0.0, Propeller Flight Core 1.0.18. Private Everon server, loopback-only network namespace, separate profile and frozen source; no Steam player profile, live server or published addon was changed.

The retained fixture advances HQ on the otherwise empty server, transitions to the normal escaped phase and places three active opposing AI actors near the runway. It does not manufacture sightings, reports, radio delivery or aircraft motion. The patrol uses its production airport survey, native crew boarding, engine start and PFC flight controls. After 120 seconds airborne, the fixture destroys the aircraft through its damage manager, waits for the replacement to take off, then changes its faction to check release and restoration of controls.

Results in native-summary.log:

• Native crew sighting reached HQ with the plane group as its source.
• Original plane took off from the airport and remained alive through the patrol.
• Replacement took off 108.1 seconds after destruction, including the minimum 60-second delay, additional clearance search and engine/ground takeoff time.
• Faction takeover retained the living aircraft and restored its original rates.
• Separate native compile without either plane addon passed.
• Menu structure/routing, setting validation, settings import/migration and HQ registration checks passed; the development source bundle audit passed without adding aircraft addon dependencies.

result.json contains source hashes and explicit test limitations. The native snapshot matches the production sources listed there; its runway survey has one additional diagnostic Print on rejected clearance, and the fixture is injected as a separate script. isolated-runner.py records the local fixture setup; its runtime, downloaded addon and RDB paths are machine-specific prerequisites.

This is not a clean full-mission or multiplayer playtest: two optional-site initial guard preparations failed during the busy escaped-phase fixture. They are retained in the summary rather than hidden. No connected human client was used, so first-person visuals/audio and an actual player boarding takeover still need normal gameplay validation.
