The more time I spend in career mode the more I notice is either missing or broken that is present in free flight mode. I thought maybe it could be useful to provide links to other posts on the forum in regard to this, hopefully to get more eyes and up votes on them so they can at least be acknowledged. Some people may not have noticed these things yet but many of us have, there are most likely many other things I myself haven’t noticed so feel free to add to the list.
You can add that there are no planes for heavy cargo missions. At least with standard package. No heavy cargo missions show in the map even though I have unlocked all the prerequisites.
Career mode is almost unusable as is most of this “sim”. What I have found so far in career mode:
Aircraft parked in stupid locations (some half inside buildings)
Airports not suitable for type of aircraft you have.
Being made to land or take off from disused runways.
Completely broken ATC in every single part of career often not being able to contact anyone.
Landing on assigned runway only to be told its the wrong one.
Many aircraft are just not useable.
If you skip to landing (especially in B737) it places you in the most unrealistic height while only 20 miles from the airport.
Skipping any part of the mission in B737 is almost guaranteed to break your landing gear, somehow!!!
Does not recognise correct altitude with STD QNH.
Gliders parked at large gates at EGKK and other large airports. Ruins the scenery.
These are just a very few of the issues. This is the most broken sim I have ever played. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics and scenery (when they work) are amazing but the rest of the sim is so unrealistic and broken. Asobo should really hang their heads in shame. I am sure they want to provide a good sim but in all honesty this is a mess.
I really do hope they fix it but we get very few updates from the team and I see at least 10-20 bug reports go onto the forum every day so god knows how they will keep up.
I am having a lot of fun with career mode, and hope that with a bit more time the experience will get better. Mainly I would just like some basic quality of life features added such as the ability to filter missions, delete companies, transfer planes between companies - perhaps subject to a refit charge. The main thing though is a wider accessibility of planes. I love the Magni Gyro and really want to use it in flightseeing missions. I’ve loved the Piaggio Avanti since I first used it in what, FS2004, and would really want to use it for my VIP charters. Fingers crossed that all of this happens in time, the Dev stream certainly inspires confidence that it will. For now, I would be glad if we could just get rid of the gliders and perhaps use fewer military airports.
