Ramp toolpath doesn't keep contact with the part

Greetings,
I'm trying to rough mill the outside of my part with an high feed end mill. I would like for the tool to maintain contact with the part to avoid entering and exiting the cut. I tried to use a ramp toolpath but no matter which parameter I change (contact point, tool containment, linking etc.) the tool always exit and reenter cut at the corners. I tried to eliminate the modelled fillets at the corner but nothing changed; changing lead-in and lead-out has some effect but not the desired one and I don't understand the logic of it.
Using 2D contour with the ramp option does work but it doesn't machine the steep part (left side of the model).
Is there a way to fix this? the part seems pretty simple to me.
