Especially that there is an A330 on the picture in the background. They could have a cargo version of it, and I think this is what they planned but currently they don’t have it. I don’t have any problem if premium users get more planes to choose from, but there is nothing in the different editions that says that you will need premium to access heavy cargo missions. Also how is that the super heavy beluga is available to standard users then? Makes little sense if there is no heavy cargo in between.
even if u managed to get 300M u won’t be able to buy the beluga

I know that the certification for super heavy is not available, but it is there in the list when you want to buy an aircraft for cargo, this is what I mean about available. But for heavy cargo there is nothing there for standard users. Not like without heavy cargo i will ever reach 300M, till then there is msfs 28.

Since the issue is clearly not solved is there a way to remove that “Solved” mark from this thread?

I would suggest to create a new thread for that, as that is not the same issue. This thread was only about not having available plane for heavy cargo, which currently solved by buying the premium edition (i know thats kind of ridiculous solution, but thats what it is). A new thread with “No heavy cargo missions” or similar would then focus on that issue. I’m saying this only because if there are more issues raised in a single thread, the dev team will only take one issue (the main issue) from it, as per guidelines. So you have better chance of that being solved if you have a thread created just for that issue.
wow solving a problem with 140$ ? ■■■■ what about ppl like me with the game pass playing the standard edition .
i think this problem is not a bug to fix rather its about missing content for now i don’t think they will spend time to add that with all the problems around

I agree, I am also on standard edition and I find it weird that they have a content which doesn’t have aircraft to use it, it feels like they wanted to put at least an aircraft for the standard edition too, but I guess that will come later. I don’t think that the solution is to buy a higher edition, the solution was marked by the topic author. The solution is clearly to put an aircraft for all users, but bugs will probably take precedence. Heavy cargo missions are not spawning as well, if I understand the above comments correctly, so I guess currently even if we would have an aircraft, we wouldn’t able to do heavy cargo missions.
Don’t worry guys, there’s barely anything to use anyway, even if your Library is filled with default MSFS planes. Like, why is there only SAAB and MAX for Airline transport? Where’s the A320, A330, A310, A321LR? Where’s the An-255 for the Super Heavy? Where’s the 747 Global Tanker for firefighting? Where’s the ATR for Airline Transport and Medium Cargo? Where’s C-17 and A400 for Heavy cargo? Where’s the H225 and Bell 407 for helicopter missions? These are all planes that ship with one edition or another! Why can’t we use them in career then?
Right now, out of 125 aircraft that ship with 2024, only 40 are available in Career. None from Aviator Edition, 10 from Premium, 2 from Deluxe, 28 from Standard. Not to mention few are locked anyway because “This content will be available later”
I call this very very very very poor

• Same issue. Level 140+ 17M in funds. No planes show up.

I own the Aviator edition, so I’m not speaking for myself. Despite my frustration with the unavailability of heavy cargo missions due to various reasons… I don’t care why; they released an unfinished game.
The current state of MSFS 2024 and everything that has happened to it thus far strikes me as unusual and strange. The Career is a part of the completed game. Or it was meant to be. Asobo and Microsoft made no indication that any part of the game would be limited based on the edition purchased. It is obvious that if they had made such a ridiculous announcement, people would have rioted. You charge people for a full game, show them what they can play before release and then they discover they can’t access certain game content because they didn’t order an expensive enough edition that includes this or that aircraft? How does that make sense?
Give me a break; this is not supposed to be. One option is to sell planes that can be flown in free flight, while another is to bundle the game with a career and restrict access to some of the content in that section, despite the fact that players have already paid. It may sound similar to DLCs, but Career is not a DLC, and neither is one of the Career mode missions. This is unfinished content. If you lock a progression behind a specific plane, forcing people to purchase more expensive editions, you are engaging in an unfair practice that will almost certainly be challenged, causing additional problems for Asobo/Microsoft.
I strongly urge Asobo to take this into consideration and fix the game so that even those who purchased the standard edition can access all of the career mode missions. Hopefully, this is just a gimmick and will be fixed, even though different editions of the game will allow you to fly heavy cargo missions on planes other than the 320.
Also, I don’t understand the argument over the mods. In 2020, you could use any mod and do whatever you wanted, with or without a profile. All of a sudden, we have a career, and someone is ‘assaulted’ by the fact that people can use devkit in their careers. Why such a fuss over this? You either care or not if Bob or Sam have 1 billion in their careers while you have 100,000. This is not a competitive game, and nothing that happens in the career can or should affect anyone who enjoys playing MSFS 2024. The only online component here is flying with your friends, so I don’t understand the developers’ hatred for cheating money in some way and hiding it behind the guise of ‘Protection’ for user profiles.

I agree, I really think this is a bug and they do intend to give at least one aircraft for standard edition users for heavy cargo, otherwise they would have just had that part locked and saying that you need to purchase it as an addition. I’m sure this will be fixed at one point, as BeeJayHawk mentioned, many aircraft is not included yet in career and the ones we have are also quite buggy. It is also in their interest, as a standard edition user, I am actually inclined to take a higher edition later on to fly more airplanes.
On the other note, I think the majority of people don’t actually care what others do in their career, it’s a single player progression, anyone can decide how they enjoy it. Some people might be complaining and taking it as competitive, which I can not understand, there is no leader board, nor in-game economy that is impacted by this. As for the developers, I think at this point they just can not support modded games as the vanilla has many problems that they want to sort out, mods do make it harder to narrow down the cause of these problems. I really hope they dont want to introduce credit packages for a single player career mode. Paying for new aircraft or handcrafted scenery, or further content, thats all good, but credits and career progression makes zero sense to be monetized.
I think that this is because of the fact that none of the Airbuses are ready for the new EFB, and as long as iniBuilds won’t address this there’ll be no Airbus in the Carrier mode, and the fact that it’s A330 on the splash for the Heavy Cargo specialisation and there is a Cargo version of the A330 already in the game suggests that’s the intention. You can fly it in Free Flight, or just try. Tried couple times fly iniBuilds Airbuses (A320neo and A330) and the game crashed to desktop every single time, didn’t use SimBrief, just entered everything in the MCDU manually. On A320neo crashed about half way during flight from EPLL to EPKK and A330 crashed just after engine start on flight from EPLL to EPWA. Didn’t used the quick engine start, just done a whole checklists. I don’t know if this is or not related to the fact that all of those Airports are 3rd parties bought for MSFS 2020, but for sure FlyDesign assures that EPLL is MSFS 2024 compatible.

this is stupid though .
it’s like saying " hehe standard edition users must fork out more money to get the full game ".
for career…
But you can buy that missing single heavy cargo plane when the marketplace is online, no need to upgrade Deluxe / Aviator. Right?
i mean for the standard edition we should have 1 plane or 2 to use for free don’t u think ?

Not sure who marked the solution post as such, but it’s not. The solution would be having at least one plane available for the standard edition, not pushing people into spending more on this half broken (and that’s after some improvements) game.

Sorry but no. At least one plane for each mission type/roll and tier should be avilable in the base game. Not as addon/DLC content.
As part of the base game - and always, as bare minimum
- At least one plane…
- for every company
- for all tiers
I shouldn’t have to buy a base game AND additional content just to enjoy the base game in it’s entirety.
that would be like buying Rome:Total War and then telling players they have to buy “SPQR” just to play the main storyline campaign included in the base game.

Agreed, should be like that of course.
At this point there are no heavy cargo missions. And if you do find a missiong for the Saab the flight controls don’t work. So until this is fixed you’re not missing anything. But they should add other planes when the enable heavy cargo missions.
