Low Fuel or better said, not loaded before flight. Even better: can’t even load it before flight. I have to use a shortcut midflight.
Connected to fuel issue - If I am LUCKY, the mission won’t crash midflight or at the end, when I park, if I use the shortcut to load 25% of fuel anywhere in the flight. Loading full tanks will almost sure crash the mission - nothing worse than getting a mission crash after 3,5hrs of flight!
Totally random situations at the beginning of the flight, where I can neither press ENTER to announce taxi or even via Communication panel, which shows Announce Taxi to parking - at the beginning of the mission!
Penalties when landing about not designated landing area, although I nailed the landing exactly how and where.
ATC starting IFR plans, although I filed VFR.
By default using the completely meaningless teardrop-approaches.
Bad taxi paths, sometimes going into GA parking space, then U-turning back to the normal taxi path.
Wind or something turning the aircraft upside-down in the hangar before flight.
Happened twice too, aircraft turned upside-down in the hangar, I guess due to the wind.
Cameras in the cockpit go bonkers - I usually have keys 0-9 assigned to different views, like pilot, close, instrument 1, instrument 2 etc… and at some point, also very random, it will happen that these break down, so pressing 3, what is usually for me instrument 1, will move the camera above the fuselage. I have to abort the flight and restart the whole sim.
Missions to some miniscule airports. Landable but not realistic. There is no METAR, no charts, nothing. Or even worse, decomissioned airports.
I am really wondering, how could have this passed QC before releasing the sim?
Yes, it’s very annoying. Especially at long flights and the sim goes bonkers when you reach the right destination. Just touched the right runway and got a penalty for landing at the wrong destination, then framerate went crazy low, logic must have recognized that it was wrong but gave me a penalty for not announcing taxiing when i was still landing and reducing speed on the runway…
This is really bad Asobo! Don’t give us the option to play missions if the systems are not ready for it! It’s really frustrating, this is not the purpose of this sim. Please fix, it has so much potential!
1.) shouldn’t be needed, and fuel should be loaded according to the length of flight, beforehand. everything else is just a workaround.
2.) a workaround…
4.) me too, but nevertheless, still get landing at undesignated area
PC-12 Medium Cargo.
On Preflight goto Management. There you can load the needed amount of fuel.
As hint do your own rough fuel calculation. If you load to the minimum marker for mission it is likely that you won’t have enough cause you can’t climb above FL180 (cabin pressure bug).
For PC 12 and distance about 1000km I load 700kg fuel.
Before patch 3 I did load the fuel in management screen as now.
But then after the mission is loaded just restarted it and you got the correct fuel amount in the aircraft.

Career mode (XBox) is hugely disappointing. Countless bugs make it impossible to progress. Invisible runways, planes placed on elevated helipads to takeoff. Too many to name. Amazing that they release something like this. Cannot believe I paid for the Aviator edition and this is what I get.
I agree with all those faults. They need to be fixed and fast. Already there are people who are trying to get MSFS to gut Career Mode.
But the fact that you gave it this much play through to find all those items, just as I have, tell me you also see the potential it has (maybe had).
I would expect them to fix all that within a few months or they will have wasted a lot of investment in creating it in the first place.
Potential.
The Company Mode needs to be Multiplayer. Like a guild if you are familiar with mmorpg games.
How cool would it be if you could creat a Company with a group of friends and then they added Group Missions?
Say its 5 players, go out and put out a massive fire. Your Company is award based on how well you do it or even better yet, perhaps there is a town near the fire and if you do not stop the fire from burning the town to the ground, you failed.
There is a lot of potential. You could have shared cockpit with players in a scenario. You could develpers creating planes that come with group missions or individual missions specifically designed for their plane and using all the mechanics in the best way possible.
Frankly I don’t see much potential in career mode. It’s so boring and even the die hards will probably stop using it eventually once they’ve done most of the missions.
They should have put resources on ATC/speech recognition, traffic, weather/modelling, real life procedures. These are the areas that make flying an engaging experience worth coming back to.
Not some Mickey Mouse career stuff.
The flying lessons / checkrides are (again) a complete joke.
So regarding the fuel issue a lot of you speak about – this must only be an Xbox thing?
Every single career mission I fly, albeit in my own company, I simply go to Fuel & Weight and buy more fuel before I start the mission, while in my hangar.
after 25 hours of career flying I’m getting tired of it the progress is so slow I’m still delivering cargo with a poor 172 uninteresting… all the bugs slowed me down even more especially the one where the weather was buggy and the Insurance does not pay anything in the event of a problem. passive income is also ridiculous. I have always had msfs since the very first one and I bought this one for the missions they offer but the slow progression means that I regret having given more than 200€ for that. I should have stayed on 2020
Yep. You can release the sim in a half-baked Alpha state, and the most forgiving fans will happily eat it up and eventually the skeptical stragglers will hop on board as things come online.
But Career Mode needed to work. It’s the closest this game is going to come to a having a scripted “Story Mode”, and if your video game’s story is boring, unfinished, and broken, people will abandon it forever. It will be cast off as a failure even if it’s eventually fixed. Shame because it has real potential, but Microsoft dropped the ball.
I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. I am not aware of any menu giving me that option (PC, not Xbox). Would you please describe it in detail?
