This might be useful, around the 5:29 mark. Scott (A2A Dev) showing how he taxis the Comanche on a grassfield and how he records the sound of the aircraft.

Actually, currently MP is the required location for aircraft to be eligible for careers.
Apparently files required for career mode definition need to be encrypted.
Due to demand, they are going to look into allowing planes that have been approved for the Marketplace and have been properly set up and approved for careers but located in the Community directory for use in Careers, but they couldn’t guarantee they would be able to figure out how to make it work.
Now, given spb files are compiled now (and the SDK is unclear whether text xml files also work for things like Living World Config or Airport Services), it certainly seems like something they could implement, but, they wouldn’t promise they would. This was all explained in the SDK team Q&A. Perhaps the required files would need to be created by the Marketplace induction team and given to the developer in question who would then make them part of their off-MP products.

Ok I missed that bit. Seems more complicated then it needs to be yet again. Feels like it might be another botched implementation or perhaps on purpose to force future MP sales. There will be mad users who have the plane outside MP but can’t use it and quite rightly an accusation that MP is getting an unfair advantage if it ends up being only MP. Time will tell.

It actually makes sense to me. They’re encrypting it so people don’t cheat the system and other stuff like that, and probably things I don’t even know about. Plus they don’t want to have to support stuff that they’re not in control over.
“My Career crashed! This software blah-blah-blah!” “What plane did you use?” “Oh, this one I got off of fs.to” “Oh, brother” “Whaddya mean I shouldn’t be using ‘Legacy Flight Model’??? It has wayyy more options! It MUST be better!!” "

I understand a level of control is needed but what you described seems overly complicated. I have a concern it will end up being another fs2020 model matching fiasco when just like the model matching it doesn’t need to be.
He said it better than me…

Yes this was the main reasoning they provided but IMO it’s totally bogus for career mode. In a multiplayer game it would make heaps of sense but career mode is totally single player and so if someone managed to cheat it would affect nobody other than themselves.
Meanwhile by being a closed system like this a large portion of the legitimate user base is going to find career mode severely limiting for no good reason.
Simulating an airline pilot career without being able to fly the Fenix? Yeah nah, of absolutely no use to me.

It’s currently single player. I’ve seen indications of plans to change that in the future. I’m imagining missions together with people when they get Shared Cockpit working, could be pretty awesome.
Back on topic… Is the Comanche going to be career capable, anybody seen anything about it over at A2A?

What career path would it be part of? 
Transporting “goods” from Central America to the Keys or Louisiana.

I’d think you’d want a twin for that!

Definitely the 414 fast and low…
Maybe ‘aircraft mechanic’ for the Comanche? I still think the Comanche needs an ‘Indiana Jones’ setting that ensures every flight is one way no intended destination met.
When flying to/from a VOR how can the morse code sent from the VOR be suppressed/silenced? This is specifically when using the PMS GTN750. Also, how is this managed IRL?
The audio panel should have selectors for choosing what is sent to the headset and heard; turn off the nav1 and/or nav2 radios. I don’t use the 750, so I’m not sure if it uses the same audio panel the Narco stack uses.

You generally don’t have the NAV 1 or 2 selected on the audio/intercom panel unless you want to hear the ID. If you don’t have a separate, physical audio/IC panel, there is a nav1 and 2 selection in the “audio panel” portion of the GTN.
Note that in the real world, the Garmins listen for the station’s broadcasted Morse code and use it to automatically decode the station ID, which will be displayed above the frequency in the NAV window (upper right) if it is positively identified.
To send the audio of the Morse ID from the GTN to the comm panel, you hold down the volume knob of the GTN while you’re in the nav page, then roll the volume around as necessary.

Thanks - I will give this a try.
Forewarning, what I explained is how it works in the real world. I haven’t used the PMS in a long time (I use the TDS), so your mileage may vary.
There’s a mute button for it on the radio panel, little white button I think.
Regarding the radios, keep in mind there has been a nagging bug for over 15 years where playing with the speaker on the radio stack sometimes prevents you from actually turning one of the radio signals off. It’s just a little buggy. Knowing a2a, they probably use their own stack for this lol
