I’d agree that selecting runway type, hard or not; runway lighting and precision landing capable destinations would be useful. Just like Neofly 4 basically.
If destination runway length is included in the mission data, you could always sort by it, ascending or descending, if the user feels that they’d prefer a larger margin for error.
However, I’d suggest that removing impossible missions would be one for the mission spawning process. That would include destinations where the runway is too short for the aircraft in question; S&R missions where a landing within range of the target is simply not possible; stupidly windy weather; IFR conditions for VFR missions etc.
I’ve been using fast travel, spending around 700-800cr at a time, to extend the open area of the globe and it is quickly becoming clear as to how essential this feature is going to be.
If anyone were to open up even 10% of the globe, there’d be literally thousands of missions. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to see them all, without panning and zooming the map, but if you were trying to find a rare mission, finding a needle in a haystack would quickly become more attractive.
This must be on their list of things to do, surely?
I’ve resulted to filtering missions by only owning the aircraft required for the mission type and selling everything else, it hurts the broken passive income system but allows me to only see the types of missions I want to fly while in freelance mode.
Absolutely - my number one request!!
It’s so frustrating trying to find the mission type that I want and you have to click on each to check if it’s plane / helicopter and also check that it’s not the DHC-2, which at least 50% of my missions seem to use and I hate flying!
Please, this is a hell. I’ve just created a sightseeing company to improve my income and suddenly my mission map has filled with 100+ missions I will never do.
At least the filter by mission type is completely necessary.
I agree by mission type and Plane type would be good just like the OP once I unlocked tail draggers that’s 90% of what displays now, well before the Mission bug came to be, but it would certainly be nice to sort by time/distance/plane/job type
Especially aircraft. There are some aircraft that the controls and flight characteristics are just horrid. It seems like those are the ones that are completely populating all the missions well when career missions are actually working that is.
Developers: Lets add a filter. What should we let them search by?
Product Manager: Airport code of course.
Developers: Most airports don’t have jobs, especially for a specific business.
Product Manager: I said airports!
The game is already filtering missions, you only see employee missions for the certifications/spe you have unlocked, you only see freelance missions for companies that have aircraft even if mission type is unlocked, switching from employee to freelance tab is filtering… so the pieces are already there, why don’t we have a simple UI box to choose mission types ?
Wouldn’t filtering using a list make things more useable, as having to constantly zoom in and out to find missions is hardly user-friendly?
Another benefit of using a list is that you should also be able to easily sort, by any mission attribute.
As it stands, the list only appears to include missions that have been revealed, by zooming, on the map. It’s not a technique I’ve seen elsewhere and for me is not overly useable.
And please allow us to toggle off the ‘feature’ that recentres the world map as you scroll through the missions, thereby recalculating the missions available… and re-writing the list!
