Hello,
can anyone currently realistically play the career mode as a freelancer (not as an employee)?
Due to the bug (80% of Missions suddenly disappeared except Ferry Flight, Medical, Skydive - #453 by PennyMuncher342), since new years eve, for me all of the freelance missions are gone (but I only have an airplane for the VIP company and no airplane for cargo or sightseeing).
I am currently thinking about selling the Vision Jet for the Caravan and do cargo missions, as long as the VIP missions are gone. Or are all the mission gone for Freelancers?
Thanks
I was able to do medium cargo missions reasonably well after that bug, with somewhat less choice, but manageable. Same true for passenger transport missions, I moved to 737 after that bug, but I found enough passenger missions to go with. So these two seem to be viable currently, with possibly less choice.
As for the VIP, quite honestly, that was buggy even before that, I only had some VIP (small) missions in specific locations, the same ones always and have never found any more. I guess now those are gone as well, so its even worse. And there were/are no medium VIP missions, I’ve never actually seen one apart from the golden one to unlock it (nor employee, nor freelance), even though I own airplanes for them over a month (king air, cj4) and have a large portion of the world unlocked. That already had a bug thread about it.

I am spending time investing money in a huge fleet meanwhile all the vips are gone. Now I own 22 plane and make around 4.000.000 per day. Each day I buy more planes to increase the passive income…so that also days where I will fly less then now, I’m ensuring good income to keep growing.
Do not hesitate to buy a cessna and start cargo…selling planes, not a good option.
Thats nice, if you get that passive income. I don’t. No one flies my planes, eventhough Crew is on and I don’t fly myself at 00:00UTC.
your planes earn while you are flying one of them. and the game must be closed out at 00:00 UTC for it to work. not just not flying, completely closed.
It is important that you are flying Freelance missions not the Employer ones. Only the Freelance missions seem to build flight hours towards passive income. Make sure your flights are done before 12:00 AM UTC and exit the sim or you likely won’t get passive income for the previous 24 hours.
For me in Eastern Standard Time (EST) which is UTC - 0500, that means 12:00 AM UTC is 7:00 PM EST for me, so I log out before about 6:50 PM EST and then sign back on at 7:10 PM EST and I get my passive income every time so long as I had freelance flight hours in the past 24 hours.
Note: It might be possible to just exit from Career back to the main menu and wait instead of fully exiting the sim, but I haven’t tested that and cannot confirm if that works.
For that I would need to have the money first to have more than one plane. That might take a while, as long as I can’t fly in Freelance, when there are no missions.
Why don‘t you check by yourself if you have Freelance missions? They should be back after the server update yesterday
I checked yesterday and had none. But I will check again today. The question came up, since there were no missions for me for the last week. But since there are Cargo Missions, the question is answered.
