Having the ability to fly with your friends while on a route is something I like to do a lot in the freeflight mode, and in career it could be implemented in a manner that encourages fun multiplayer experiences for us that want it when doing jobs to new places, managing airlines, having our own livery with multiple player members in the airline, etc, it’ll bring a lot more life to the world than just having AI air traffic (which is a setting that seems to be broken right now since it turns off every time I restart the game)

I would be very happy to see Career Flights in Free Flight or during my own Career Flights.
In general, the Career Flights seem utterly devoid of other traffic and thats just dull.

Yeah, I also am bringing it up since i used to play a roblox game called “aeronautica” which is a lot like what career mode is right now but with multiplayer and full on player run airlines which was quite fun playing with a few friends i had at the time.

You can enable live traffic on career mode its just off by default. But no multiplayer still.
Sounds amazing. They better go this route.
Career mode is busted enough already without adding multiplayer to the mix; some would also see it as competitive then and make an even bigger deal of skips/sim speed ups etc. I think career should be left as a single player thing, maybe with the ability to include party members along, but … they have probably at least a year of getting what’s currently busted unbusted before they start expanding it

People cheat in career mode because they view it as being not fun enough to “grind”, this is an unrelated problem that I do agree with and hopefully they can balance that out by substantially increasing awards on jobs that are around 30 minutes long while still making it fun enough for them to continue playing it, if there’s not enough content for that, well they should just make all planes available instead of the 10 or so they have right now. I also think they should disable fast travel to regions you haven’t explored yet or make you free fly your plane to “fast travel”’ to those places

I turned it on. I have never seen any live traffic during my career runs.

"I would love to see a career mode integrated with multiplayer in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Imagine a system where companies, as well as aircraft purchases and sales, could be managed and traded within the multiplayer community. This would make the game feel more open and dynamic.
For instance, if I run a fire-fighting company and there’s a wildfire in my area, I could respond to the emergency, extinguish the fire, and earn rewards for my efforts. Furthermore, it would be amazing if this fire alert could be visible to other multiplayer pilots nearby, allowing for a more interactive and collaborative experience.
This kind of feature would bring an entirely new level of immersion and realism to the simulator, connecting players through meaningful activities in a living, breathing world."

In my mind, that’s an excellent idea, but seeing how career mode is “working” at the moment, I have no faith they can achieve that.

Just thinking about I wonder why there wasnt any MP, could it of been because careermode was like a test run to see how everyone enjoys it and then mp gets turned on, everything else is linked to our own accounts re passive income/company so it shouldnt affect anything in that sense, the only issue i see is if some uses start using it as a trolling option, i dont want to damage my plane then have to pay a bunch of cr to repair it because of a troll
The multiplayer mode would not only improve the experience, for me the most important thing is to be able to free up the graphics using the auxiliary screens on another PC or another GPU for avionics, routes and charts, which would be less demanding on the main one.
I think it would be great if within your friend group you could work together in a Company as a team or as part of someone’s company.
they could have 2 ship missions for bush cargo delivery or multi aircraft fire fighting as has been said.
could you imagine ATC trying to handle more than 3 planes at the same time lol…
If the current ATC was programmed to not allow different pilots to talk over each other (it is required that communications requiring a response cannot have another pilot speak in the mean time without waiting ‘a while’) then maybe this would be ok, but if I am asked something by inbuilt atc currently, I have to spam click the respond button whilst any and all other traffic talks over me. Impossible.
The first step would be to just allow us to see other online players while in career mode, just like you do in free flight. It could be other players doing their own mission, or other players in free flight mode. I don’t see any impediment to doing that and that would bring a lot of life to career mode as others have said.
Then later on, you can have coop missions and things like that, but that would be a lot more complex and I think it’s important to first just allow us to simply see online traffic.
