I think most of us are not looking for unlimited credits. We want open world activities outside of career, ideally in free flight.
I bought a game that comes with a Sikorsky Sky Crane but what use is it if there’s nothing I can pick up and carry in free flight?
We have firefighting planes and helicopters but what are we supposed to do with them if we can’t have fires to put out?
The career is for people who want to do the training, the certifications, earn reputation and money, start a business and buy and manage planes. That’s great and long may those interested enjoy it.
None of this has the slightest thing to do with picking up an object or putting a fire out, both activities of which need to be possible in free flight. Arriving at an accident scene with a medevac heli, etc, these are all activities that should be possible in free flight, otherwise what is the point in even having these specialist planes and helis in the game?
