Career Mode: Allow us to create our own Flight Plans

Reminder that there are weather layers available on the map. Press the map layers icon in the lower right, press the Advanced button, and select the layers you want accordingly. Move the time slider to the proposed mission start time to get an idea of what the sim thinks the weather will be (was, technically). Make sure to change the time to several spots throughout the proposed flight time so you see how it will change during the flight. Always give it 10 or so seconds to sync the map after you move the time slider. If you canā€™t see the tools or it gives you an error, back out to the main menu and go back in, it usually refreshes.

Itā€™s not a completely useful tool, but itā€™s slightly better than going in blind.

Id love thisā€¦
let us choose plane/departure/destination , and then decide on xp/credits based on distance/difficulty/weather.

Iā€™d like this as well EVEN if the flight is NOT graded /scored
(or perhaps just a small big of credit/xp for newly discovered areas?)

why?
because it often I want to explore and area, of just move an aircraft to a new location.

example:
currently, Im in South America, and I wanted to take by 207b back up north, but there was not a single mission going north, all were going south.

the issue here is you can get stuck in a certain area that you dont want to be.
I really want to head up to North America, but shipping my 207b there is nearly 500kā€¦ let me fly it there !

note:
ofc, the above example, highlights an issue in mission generation, often there simply are not enough, or they are all flying in a similar direction. or going into airports we do want to fly
e.g. I should be allowed to fly my 207b into larger airports if I want. even if its for less credits/xp

I agree that there has to be an option for ā€œbeginnerā€ and ā€œexpertā€ modes for flight plans just like those modes exist for all checklists via a toggle.

Not to contaminate the topic, but I feel that this is directly related. Why is there no option to save / load flight plans from FS Planner? Or rather why these are disabled in CM? I donā€™t think I am wrong assuming that most of us fly in career mode. So whatā€™s the point of having all these great resources for planning if they canā€™t be used?

there is only one answer for this, it is not a simulator, Asobo want to have just flight GAME. Maybe you can do some changes with smaller aircraft but when moving to 737 you just need to do whatever they want. Like 20nm from destination and ATC is telling you go to FL360 :smiley: they not allowing us to import flight plan from simbrief, we need to use default ATC when BATC is 1000% better. You just need to play the game, nothing else. Changing flight plan in 737 before entering to aircraft cost me dozens crashes, repairing landing gears, only because i did not want to only play Game. Sometimes Iā€™m thinking that it is because MSFS dont what us to pay other company to use there apps.
Game is generating flight plan in career, at same time is generating ATC, so at the end they can rate us, that is fine but why we cant generate flight plan, is this so hard to implement to the game? I understand that disable default ATC and giving us option to replace it BATC it is something much more complicated for rating at the end of fly, but definitely possible to do.
