There is no "big blue X" as the quest text says there should be. There IS a light blue circle that pulses up from the ground at the base of the ramp, IF you watch the spot long enough.
Turn Particle Density up to Ultra long enough to scout out where the drop off is. Having particle density to low resulted in such a long time between visible effects, that I spent 20minutes flying back and forth without seeing it once.
Thank you, I couldn't find this man for the life of me, for anyone else who're still doing this in 2025, he's a dwarf on top of a haybale, just next to the flight master.

Description
Mathias Shaw and the SI:7 are here to assist us with operations up top in the Twilight Citadel. I need you to escort them there. The Wildhammer are being kind enough to give us a lift in. The agents have some things that they need to do down in the Twilight Gate area first, though. Speak with Angus Stillmountain and get yourself a squad to drop off. You'll fly them in. A big blue X marks the spot.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Call in the Artillery
A pity that we're no longer allowed to drop the Plague on our enemies. It would prove quite effective in this situation. Oh well, at least we have war machines to destroy their precious gates. I want you to take this flare.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Kor'kron Drop
Garona and a detachment of the Kor'kron are here to assist us with operations up top in the Twilight Citadel. I need you to escort them there. I've called upon a local tribe of trolls to give us a lift in with their wind riders.
