ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Career mode is a disaster. You filter by plane and it doesn’t work; you choose one, spend money on the transfer, and you can’t even fly it to do a mission. None of the filters work properly (in 2026 and 4 sim updates).

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Everytime

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Play career mode (some missions don´t even appear)

  2. Select Cargo mission, filter by aircraft, accept the mission.

  3. And you can’t fly it because it doesn’t even recognize the plane.

No developer mode

I had this too, where you select a mission and in the hanger it shows a completely different aircraft to the one you selected to fly.
My workaround was to back out of mission over and over until it gave me the right plane in the picture to match the upper rt square you have there.

Very, very irritating that Career mode has been so badly affected since SU4. So many issues in all the posts at the moment. I bet the new ps5 simmers are seriously happy (not) with this welcome to MSFS 2024!

Title updated to reflect what the issue is.

This reads a bit strangely. When you say ‘Filter by plane’ what action are you referring to? The description sounds like something that is occurring after selecting an aircraft (as opposed to the filter, which I would take as meaning the mission filters by type, specialisation so on).

Is the actual bug you are reporting the fact the incorrect label is appearing in the top right there? The information in the highlighted square must be the wrong because Saab 340 isn’t a Medium Cargo plane. Is the pictured plane correct (C408) or are BOTH things wrong?

Do the ‘manage my aircraft’ or ‘select aircraft’ buttons work or do they not do anything? Do they then go to the wrong aircraft?

I am guessing PC considering it has keyboard bindings (Tab key for EFB etc).

Ok interesting, I’ve just had something like this manifest.

I selected a PC24 to transfer to a destination. I have two in this company that were quite close. It has the incorrect plane model in the background (a PC12).

Manage my aircraft button thinks it’s the PC12 but it goes straight to this screen here (no maintenance etc) which is just a fragment of the UI, it’s missing the other bars and options with the technician.

but what is on site is definitely the PC24. Fly is greyed out, it is not selectable.

Left clicking (on PC) on the On Site aircraft and ‘selecting’ it has fixed the inconsistency, it is now showing the correct model, and the Manage Aircraft is correct. Fly is now selectable.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

In career mode, when you filter by aircraft type, the missions displayed are incorrect. When you click “Accept Mission”, with the filter applied, the aircraft that appears is not the one you selected in the filter. Furthermore, aircraft are often stranded at an airport due to a lack of return missions.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Everytime I fly career mode filtering by aircraft type. Some missions do match the applied filter, others do not.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Select Career mode

  2. Activate the filter by aircraft type and select one, then select one mission and accept it.

  3. The plane that appears for the mission does not correspond to the plane you selected in the filter. You can verify this; I filter missions by Cessna SkyCourier, and the plane that appears when accepting the mission is a Pilatus PC-12.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

Is it the same issue than reported here ?: SU3 aircraft filter in Career mode

8

That looks like your in freelancer mode, that’s not a bug.

the filter doesn’t select the aircraft or only missions from the airport your aircraft is in , rather it just filters to missions that aircraft can do

Info is not complete. Does he own a pc12?
In career when you select mission type by plane, it doesn’t filter out all the others so if he does own a pc12, it’s the same bug.

Yes, I also have several Pilatus PC-12. No, I’m not in freelancer mode; I always fly my own planes. Yes, I assume it’s a filter bug; it doesn’t make sense. I don’t filter by mission type, only by aircraft, so only missions that the selected aircraft can perform should appear.

11

No, this bug is related to the mission filtering panel

12

If it is relating to the mission filtering panel, then it’s a separate bug from the one originally reported which was about the aircraft selector…

That’s why it’s confusing - because the issue originally reported was about showing the wrong aircraft model and name when you transfer it for a mission. If they are different issues they need different reports

Yes, I know, but I don’t moderate the forum. The second report has been merged into this one. Sorry

Yep I agree I thinks It’s a totaly different issue

15

Got it - can you explain what is happening?

The second issue I’m reading it as you select an aircraft in that filter (as per screenshot a C408), but then the missions that come up can sometimes not be done by a C408?
