Career Mode will be down momentarily on 2025-05-12T08:00:00Z in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. During this maintenance period, Career Mode will not be accessible to any player.
Changes effective on live retail build (Sim Update 1) immediately after maintenance is complete:
- Bought aircraft are now salvaged to the closest aerodrome instead of the starting aerodrome
- Salvage cost now scales based on aircraft price instead of salvage distance
- Salvage is now free below a certain distance (currently 5km)
- Aborted missions no longer generate passive income
Changes effective only in the Sim Update 2 Beta build:
- Insurance and passive flight times are now correctly split
- Used aircraft correctly display the maintenance cost breakdown
- Used aircraft correctly display the correct time until the next check-up after purchase
- Aircraft repair:
- Insurance no longer reimburses damage of non-destructive crashes on check-up
- A free check-up is now done automatically after a non-destructive crash
- A new “Aircraft repair” button replaces the “Delegated maintenance” button when the aircraft is grounded. This returns the aircraft back to its condition before the flight when the crash occurred
- Insurance now covers the entire aircraft instead of vital components
- Selling the aircraft instead of using “Aircraft Repair” has been balanced so that there is no loss in value between the two options
