Light cargo missions with 'live' weather outside of the 5 hour slot between 10:00 and 15:00

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Light cargo missions are only available with ‘live’ settings between 10:00 and 15:00 local time. This way I never get any dusk/dawn flying. The maximum mission length I’ve found is around 1.5 hours, so it’s not like flying outside of the 10:00 to 15:00 window will end up with my trying to land in the dark on an unilluminated airstrip. So right now ‘live’ settings are only available 20% of the time.

I can appreciate that maybe they’d want it to be ‘daytime’ for these missions, but in that case please take seasons and distance from the equator into account. I’d already be happy if the slot was opened up to 8:00 to 17:00, at least that would be a 9 hour window instead of a 5 hour one.

For what it’s worth, I’ve unlocked the IFR and night currency certificates.

Medium cargo missions is the same too. I cannot fly at night any more. I liked it when I start flying at 430 am program won’t allow this anymore.

I am noticing the same thing in other Career specializations, such as VIP Airline. Feels like a regression with Sim Update 5.

Career - SU5 No night missions available Vote here

I did vote there, but here i’m not really asking for ‘night’ missions, just a longer day for ‘live’ weather :slight_smile:

Normaly if they open the light cargo mission to the live time like it was on medium cargo or VIP you’ll be able to select the exact time you want the mission to start

This has been talked about for ages and numerous threads and they just aren’t giving us feedback. So we need to keep the pressure on

We should be able to choose time of flight, especially as freelancer owner of our company

The issue is across all specialisations. But they have given an option for some specializations to use the slider but again the window is too small. Its almost impossible to fly during golden hour which IMO is the best time to take off or land.
