No, at least for me it has a weighted running average. Say I’m solidly in middle of A. If I get a really good A, almost S, it’ll boost my A rep. If I get an S, it’ll boost it more up to and including into S if it’s enough.
Yes but as an airline pilot, I do not do any of those things. I may get involved when there’s a problem. Otherwise, it is totally out of my domain. On a good day, other than discussing the plan with dispatch and the other pilot(s) and briefing the cabin crew, our decision tree doesn’t really begin until the agent enters the cockpit and asks, “Captain, are you ready to go?”

Yes, as long as your missions are A. But as soon as you get a C, you drop to C regardless if you were A or S up to that point. The same is true backwards. You can have an awful C reputation, if you manage to do an A, you instantly go back to A. So those small changes you mention only apply as long as you get the same rating for every mission.

Welp, thanks for ruining Career Mode for me. As someone who has limited time (you know that family and work thing) to fly I was enjoying Career mode using VFRMAP so I can work on landings and still make progress. The game starts your plane up. Taking off is easy. FLying from waypoint to waypoint is nothing. The landings are the hard part. That’s what VFRMAP allowed you to do, work on landings. What do you even care if people use it?? Who cares?
After the update, did two flights, CNTL-N to decent (to L35) and ended up transporting and crashing right on a hill side twice. Thanks Asobo. Using VFRMAP, I can ensure I’m at the correct altitude to descend. Tried to zip through a VIP flight but that took about 40min since I was afraid to CNTL-N into a hillside again. Anyway, good job on the update…
Lovely career mode. I bought the Skycourrier because it is not that much bugged. In my first mission, I was spawned with one wing in a building. If one bug does not kill you, another one will.
I once had a ground crew member stuck in the tail of my aircraft, continually walking, throughout the flight.
It’s therefore a little inconsistent of them to not allow your aircraft to fly with a building on the wing, don’t you think? 
4 hours. My goodness, what were they thinking at Asobo.

Is it possible to remove a company ?
Does anyone know if there are financial rewards for chosing one aircraft over another, for example on medium cargo runs, do you get paid more for flying in a PC12 vs a cheaper 208?
A quick analysis of today’s passive income. I totaled 15mil over 51 aircraft. The Cabri and R66 (typo’d as R44) were being used in my Passenger Transport Company, C400/C172S (Sight Seeing)/Optica used for Flight Seeing, 172PJ for Sky Diving, Draco for Cargo, Vision Jet for VIP.
These are my results from one day, but it may be useful for the group.

Well, I have never been so ■■■■ frustrated with a piece of software. When you think you have a way figured out to be able to complete missions in career mode. A new bug gets thrown at you. I have been biting my tongue, trying to stay optimistic. However, this evening may have been the last straw. Fly a 3 hour cargo mission in the C-172, half way through the mission, while in flight, a little red box pops up and says you have had a tire failure. Land at the destination airport, landing feels weird…like I have a tire issue… I think ok…cool.
Not cool, plane stuck on runway, will not move a inch and only have option to taxi to hold. No option to skip, no way to end end mission. Decide to try and walk to the hold box, and red box pops up and says you have abandoned your aircraft and failed the mission. Now I get ■■■■■■.
I hope that someone from the MSFS 2024 team reads this. The software is supposed to be an escape from reality and something positive for a little relaxation after a hard day at work. But no, it proves day in a day out to be pure frustration. I just wasted 3 frigging hours of my life for what? I for the life of me cannot figure how this buggy mess was tested at all, let alone released.

Yep, I feel your pain.
I’ve been grinding all week to get my first airliner mission and it won’t even load… 20 minute loading screen and now just forcing it to close.
Has anyone done an airliner mission that’s actually worked?
I am frustrated with Golden Caravan cargo run in Japan at a small island. The crosswind is so severe, It crashed me two times, 3rd time I landed, and then taxied to parking, game would not go to next stage and did not give me credit for the flight..
Is it always that windy, or will weather change? Any clue how to get that one done?
That was a nasty one.
IRL wind currents are nasty there… (lower now actually, but not nice. When i flew it they were 54km/h)
If you check this site (location in link) you can try it when the winds are less (not that often this time of year unfortunately)
I actually find the live wind data pretty accurate (in being live, not in its effect on the aircraft which is obviously exagerated).
I had a tough time landing that one. My landing was far from ideal and definately not realistic. By some shear (<no pun) luck of faith I didn’t crash and/or tip.
Good Luck.
Also, for those interested in Career mode wishlists look here:
My Fun Career Experience of the Day was my attempt to get the Passenger Transport Turboprop ATPL endorsement (I don’t remember what it’s called). The golden mission was a multi-hour flight in the PC12 to Nice (France).
So many opportunities to hear the mispronunciation /naɪs/ (rhyming with ice),
instead of the correct pronunciation /nis/ (rhyming with fleece)!
So I plan my flight in LNM, as I usually do, copy it manually to the EFB, and get going. I do my passenger briefing during taxi and notice that someone has put the wrong dialog there. Asobothesda jank. Everything is fine, I’m slowly getting used to the Primus Epic, I even find out how to zoom the navigation map (I can’t believe that’s how it works on the real thing, but who knows).
Halfway through the flight, I get the “you crashed or something else went wrong” sound effect, a black screen, then I’m back in the air close to my departure airport and I’m told I had to be brought “back on track”. I ragequit, as I do so often when using MSFS24. I try a flight, I run into a bug I can’t circumvent, I ragequit, fire up XCOM2:WOTC and shoot some aliens. On Veteran difficulty, of course – Commander difficulty would just add to my frustration.
A few dozen dead aliens later, I try the same certification again. This time, I don’t touch the route, the altitude, anything. I fly like the mission wants me to. I occasionally turn on the blue rectangles to make sure I’m where the mission wants me to be. Halfway through the flight, I hear the dreaded sound effect, my VR display goes black, I’m “back on track” close to the departure airport.
For the first time since I started flying in career mode, I use Alt-N to skip the cruise phase of a flight and skip to “Descend”. The Primus Epic doesn’t remember some of the stuff I set up, and while I recover, something happens and, again, I’m put “back on track”. Wait, what? Nevermind. I tell my passengers that we’re flying “at an altitude of and a speed of and the temperature is” – yes, all the variables in the dialog string are missing, thanks, Asobothesda. I descend and fly the approach.
I lower the gear at an appropriate speed (I don’t remember the numbers, but I checked the placard before I did it), which is fine at first, but then the barber pole comes down, puts me in the red and my co-pilot tells me that we must have forgotten to put the gear up after departure. Whatever. I land, taxi, park and shut the plane down, expecting a devastating rating.
I get -13% (yes, a negative number) for not following “Airline procedures”. Apparently, I missed two ATC transmissions, I only remember one that was pending when it put me “back on track”, so I didn’t have a chance to respond. I mishandled the landing gear. And I got put “back on track” twice, so the overall rating was a solid C. A successful day after all!

hello,
I’ve been wanting to pass my ATPL certification for 2 days, but nothing is happening, the wheel at the bottom right turns without anything happening
were you in the Pilatus PC-12? its pressurization system is completely broken. fly above FL180 and you’ll suddenly asphyxiate with a black screen (although there is a verbal warning to descent which gives you a few minutes grace).
