Flight School: Up and Away! Upper Jump pad issue

One of the upper jump pads is non functioning making it not possible to complete the world quest.

It’s more than that, the jump pads seem to have no consistency. I can fall through the center of one on one go, then hit that one okay on a side petal, miss a flower completely but somehow still be counted as hitting it, hit a big side petal and fall through, hit a big side petal and bounce up, hit a small side petal and fall through, hit a small side petal and bounce up … I have managed to complete this once, although I’m not sure how, as I fell through the last flower, died by hitting the floor below me instead of getting ported, and somehow got credit.

you either fall through the pad and die or you get teleported back to start. needs to be fixed completely.

I just completed it again. Same completion result as last time, I completely missed the last flower, fell to my death, but it completed. Took me about seven tries, despite never missing a flower until that last one, because I kept falling through random flowers in random places for reasons I couldn’t fathom.

agreed - this quest is buggy - keep falling through the flowers randomly.

I’ve found 100% success on this by twitching back and forth after hitting a flower (holding right-click) on my way to the next one. The pattern I was seeing was that if I hit a flower and then did nothing to alter my trajectory (i.e. turn), I was far more likely to fall through the next flower I was aiming for.

The directional twitching seems to force the server to more readily update your position which is why it functions as a workaround. Shouldn’t be necessary of course but helps until they fix at least.

This worked for me as well. You only have to twitch a little bit.
