TLDR: Allow transit flight to mission origin, potentially adding flight as first stage of mission.
I think we can all agree there are some awesome features with the new career mode, but unfortunately it can lack immersion / a feeling of player presence in the world.
This is one of several suggestions I will be posting to the Wishlist forum.
Request:
A true “Freelance mode” where the user can take any missions (once the correct aircraft and qualification have been acquired) and use their aircraft to fly to the origin points of missions.
This could potentially be added as the first stage of a mission. For example: Player sees mission they want to take at Airport B, they accept. Mission starts at their current location Airport A, first stage of mission is to fly to Airport B. Once they have arrived the normal mission will trigger on engine shutdown.
Paid transit could remain, but more XP could be granted for flying in person.
Reasoning:
At the moment missions feel to segmented jumping around different locations. You do not feel like you’re the pilot in the world. This addition would help users feel contacted to the world, encourage exploration and variety in mission types.
