Yes this is what’s stopping my purchase of the F27, hopefully just a communication breakdown and it’s updated soon. It’s made for career mode and I find it hard to see how Microsoft can release new aircraft not compatible with the mode they love to promote. I’ve been doing some Skycourier missions lately in preparation for the Kodiak, it’s been a long time since I’ve not used an airliner and the visuals and performance is just stunning, so frothing for the Kodiak and proper 3rd party levels and sounds
The new carenado king air despite its shortcomings, has re-invigorated career mode for me. It’s a brilliant aircraft, looks and sounds great. Can land anywhere and doing missions at 30,000 feet brings another element like clouds and soups that airliners always fly over.
I’m currently doing all the VIP missions and opening up the USA map, one thing I’ve found is the lack of VIP missions to Latin America. I’m doing my best to bring my king air to Latin America VIP circuit transporting cartel kingpins to their respective errands. It’s a playground for exploration and the king air is the perfect tool for exploration. I will keep trying but the VIP algorithm needs tweaking needs more random locations. The red dots missions are brilliant can chose time of day, something airliners desparately need is red dot missions.
Changing flight from IFR to VFR in pre flight EFB cancels out alot of ATC mission steps and improves stability overall. Less CTDs and feels like you have the freedom to go further off course
Definately get the king air, IMO the best career mode aircraft, versatile, fun and will get some patches soon to fix some of the launch issues. Atleast one patch surely C’mon carenado give it some polish
I’m just hoping carenado finally makes their Beechcraft B1900D and Embrear 120 into something i can operate in career mode if they give those two the Beechcraft b200 treatment
What we still need
A heavy VIP aircraft category so we can utilize the 737, a330, and ATR Highline
Select liveries
We are still missing a default a319 and 717 200 to cover that range of aircraft in career mode
And missing career mode aircraft are the Boeing 767, Boeing 757, Beechcraft b1900d, DeHavilland dash 8 200, dash 8 q400, embrear e145, Fairchild metroliner, and embrear 175LR to cover free flight and career mode with what modern aircraft is on flight radar 24
Liveries and red dots on all missions (atleast airliners) so we can choose time of departure are simple additions they can’t be too hard to make happen and would improve the QOL of the entire mode 10x. C’mon devs!!
New aircraft obviously, but I feel that now up to 3rd party to fill most of this void and the Kodiak is now up and the Carenado King air got updated
I’m just going to post this photo here and say: This game was released on november 2024, we are in 2026. This is MSFS2024 career mode, still with this kind of bugs. (and others)
After 2h flight with no skip, avoiding bugs. Land, the mission says I’ve failed it while taxing out to the holding point (no crash into nothing, just the popup because yes) and then this happen after pressing restart. This is the worst game I’ve ever played.
I’m fed up with the huge errors that populate career mode.
- penalties concerning driving speeds which remain realistic,
- endless driving while in emergency (rescue, fire, medical),
- random breakdowns that happen at any time for no reason such as tire problems during a flight,
- unrealistic landing trajectories,
- penalties for landing not on the correct runway when it is the correct runway,
- penalties for starting taxiing while the aircraft is stopped with the parking brake on,
- penalties for so-called non-responses to messages from the tower,
- penalties for searching too long when you have passed the target location several times,
- the very rapid disappearance of missions for an aircraft installed in an active zone as soon as a single flight has been made,
- the few missions offered when you have a nearby plane,often even no mission,
- the flight models are much worse than in FS2020,
- frequency of aircraft wear too short,
Can we expect corrections in a very next update?
Can we hope for a return from the bushtrip?
Sincerely
Next week there will be a developer live stream. Hopefully they’ll say something about the Career Mode.
Obviously not exactly the same, but I’ve had success with creating my own bushtrips within Career Mode.
Sometimes just picking a couple airports in the right part of the world, flying something that goes low and slow, is rewarding in and of itself.
I’m finding joy in VIP and medium cargo, airliners will killjoy with all the passenger related bugs
Also flipping the flight rules to VFR removes alot of the mission steps checkpoint stuff, you just fly to destination. And VIP and cargo also have the red dots so can choose time of flight.
The passive income is a challenge you no longer earn the big airliner payouts so covering engine costs on your crewed airliners is hard doing VIP
The introduction of new 3rd party aircraft like the king air, Honda jet, Kodiak has given this mode some new life. The visuals and performance is way better in these smaller aircraft
Regarding bush trips, the excellent Bush Trip Injector software allows you to create bush trips for both FS2024 and FS2020.
Yesterday career mode propose to me five helicopter missions near my H125. I have no time to fly at this moment. To day zero near and one at the opposite of the world with a transfert cost greater than the mission reward. Where is the logic ? It’s not serious as I said before.
Please, fix the career mode bugs and anomalies.
