In Career Mode of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, managing a growing fleet quickly becomes difficult as the number of aircraft increases.
Right now, there is no quick way to see the maintenance status of aircraft directly in the company list.
This forces users to open each aircraft individually, which becomes slow and frustrating for larger companies.
Requested Features
1) Show maintenance status in aircraft list
Add a clear, at-a-glance indicator in the company aircraft list, for example:
-
Color-coded condition -
Maintenance percentage or health bar -
Icons for required or critical maintenance
2) Bulk maintenance actions (QoL improvement)
Allow players to perform maintenance on multiple aircraft at once:
-
Maintain all aircraft -
Maintain selected aircraft (multi-select)
Suggested UI approach:
-
Checkbox selection in the aircraft list
-
“Perform Maintenance” button
-
Confirmation dialog with total cost
Why this matters
-
Saves a huge amount of time with larger fleets
-
Improves decision-making before missions
-
Prevents failures due to poor aircraft condition
-
Makes Career Mode feel more like real fleet management
-
Strong quality-of-life improvement with relatively low UI complexity
Nice-to-have additions
-
Sort/filter by maintenance condition
-
Alerts when aircraft reach critical status
-
Quick-access maintenance button from the list
This is a small UI/UX change with a big impact on usability and realism, especially for players scaling their companies.
