2024 Career Mode

So, I just did a VIP transport flight, 150nm, you know the usual. Everything went perfect, no ai voice lines to say displeasure, followed the EFB flight plan, smooth landing. As I turned the engine off, the ai passenger goes “well that wasn’t the best flight, where can I call a taxi?”

Turns out, I scored 36% for passenger happiness and 45% for airline procedures… what the f*ck? No indications of anything incorrect the entire flight. Best of all, the game doesnt even tell you what you did wrong. Reputation down from almost S to a mid B. This career mode sucks.

I’m looking to open a passenger company but i saw that some people said the TBM930 was at the moment broken (no fuel), is this the case for everyone?

Hello,
Im experiencing the same problem as you were with the Charter Service Company,
Have both the specializations unlocked, but it shows me 1/2 with a green dot.
Also shows me a red dor with “Aircraft available for purchase”.
I see that you managed to unlock the company do you have any information on what you did to achieve that.
I did not see any updates about the cirrus vision jet, if you have any idea on how to unlock that if you didnt already please let me know.
Thanks

you can use it, you just need to go into free flight and put fuel in there rather than in career mode. its bugged.

Really?

Is it a one time only or i’ll need to do it everytime?

every time you enter a new session in game (if you close the game you will have to do it again)

Do you use it ? How much you earn per mission? Better than the Vision Jet?

Now imagine you’re someone not playing as often as we are. Imagine that was your only flight for that week. It’s so horrendous and people who play this game super hardcore are not going to see it. I’m 60 hours in with three companies and still using a C172. The time requirements just to fly a plane you actually like are staggering.

Is career mode a clever way to force us to use the ATC?

What happens when you run out of jobs in a region for missions? The cost to transfer your aircraft is ridiculous.

110k-200k per mission depending on length and difficulty. I also got the TBM over the Vjet because it has better passenger capacity and reverse thrust

Is that with bonuses, because that’s the same as the C172 private charter as well. I’m trying to find the optimal path to doing turbo props in freelance because I actually like flying those. It’s taking forever though and I’m avoiding the known bugs and trying to be optimal and abusing sim rate. C172 is not fun thanks to the weather bugs.

Yeah, I’m level 70 and have grinded this pretty hard, way more than 2020. And I’m an avid flight simmer with IRL experience and knowledge of procedures. Imagine being a casual, jesus…

Man, they have somehow managed to gamify this simulator such that now, in another thread, someone actually said,

“Git gud bro”

to someone else struggling with a Career Mode issue.

The gamer try-hards have arrived.

Git Gud is a mark of affection. I don’t know why people take it negatively. Some carreer mission are totally broken others just requires more skills.

I have never, ever seen this used as a mark of affection. It is thrown at people in the most un-empathetic way possible in every-single-instance that I’ve ever seen in any video game-related comments section/forum/Reddit/in-game chat/etc.

You can lock yourself into a slow grind, or you can play strategically and earn lots of $$$ fast. Very old-school RPG that way. With 2 planes, 2 companies, of which I only occasionally fly for one of them, I can generate 500k daily with like 2hrs of my flight time.

For the true laymen, even the game suggests you complete basic training first before entering into Certs and career mode. That’s what Flight Training is for, to teach users the barebones basics about everything, in fact probably way more than they’ll need to play career mode if they complete all trainings.

Passive income is broken for many people. Which should shock no one. I have had mine on for 72 hours and I’ve gotten nothing but my crew destroying the landing gear daily lol.

I could make decent money in my private charter business, about 60-100k with skips and double without, but many of the airports they go to have broken parking (eastern US unlocked). We have logged this bug and are tracking the broken airports to avoid these. So about half my time is taken up flying to these airports and wasting my time.

So I’ve decided to give career mode another chance, and take a good guy and his granddad for a short flight.

We were ready, we were anticipating, but the airport was closed due to IFR conditions.

Another time, guys. Maybe another time. You don’t kid with 29.92 pressure and 10sm visibility, there’re bold pilots and old pilots, you know.
