Nothing, it is just the final nail in the coffin. It is nothing but bugs and problems with this creation, also in free flight.
Okay, the next flight I chose after the mission above:
Thought I’t try this R66 out and do a 45 min flight in Japan.
Everything worked fantastic from begining to landing at destination. (NOTE: R66 engine management doesn’t appear to be a full release product either).
BUT WAIT: “Apply Parking Break to End Mission”
[Press CTRL+ Space to apply parking brake]
*** By the way: CTRL+ Space per promt for Parking Brake isn’t functional for this default addon ***
Two exit to menu “bugs” in a row that have a user vest as much time as possible at different times in the flight to achieve the maximum frustration that is psychologically possible in a game “design”- while being able to claim “They are just random oversights in programming.”
R66 with parking brakes. No. This appears to be an intentional act of programming. It is not just negligence.

I uninstalled the 2024 yesterday and requested my 1 month game pass refund. Focusing on playing 2020 is better for my mental health. 
Zero frustrations.
Remember that the Christmas period is about to start. 
Don’t expect any big patches or meaningful improvements between now and mid January.

That’s the point, I have no clue why FS2024 loads blurry runways even to payware.
I run 4090 and 7950x3D and I use fast EVO 990 Pro M2. I usually never have performance issues.
My internet is „just“ 50 Mbit, but we’re talking about locally installed airports… so that’s weird
I don’t understand why I get such bad texture pop in and load in at aiports i have installed on my drive. It is so immersion killing seeing buildings and planes just pop in from thin air. Don’t get any pop in or loading on 2020.
I 100% agree with the state of the Human Condition (at least in U.S.).
By the way, my next flight was in the PC-12. At cruise FL290, FMS speed, and NAV on AP, it just suddenly gave me a blank screen and the penalty “Overspeed”. Then it spawned me back at the beginning of climb out. MSFS is more like a psychological stress endurance test than a entertainment game. 
However, while actually flying, it’s still absolutely amazing - even just flying over the open seas. I must have a good internet connection, because MSFS 2024 looks like I’ve died and the visuals make me feel like I’m soaring through the atmosphere uninhibited and in peace.
Until it all goes wrong. Which is a certainty.

Exactly, that is why I don’t spend a single second more on career mode. I don’t wanna fly people around in C172s anyway, I want to get to the more interesting stuff locked behind this career. If they won’t make these missions free to play (fire fighting, SAR, crop spraying, etc.) then I just won’t play them, they are probably just as bugged as the rest so I’m fine with that.
My SAR mission tonight was outstanding.
It was with the trim enabled H125. Having a solid H125 (that’s default) in game increases the entertainment value of the game at least 80% for me, as I enjoy that 15% of the game [helicopters].
It was the only satisfying experience I’ve had in the game today. It was also the first mission I did today. It mentally set me up to endure the impending disasters of the next 3 missions [Psychological Experiment]

Helicopter S&R are currently my favourite too and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’ll need to prepare yourself for the disappointment/frustration of finding your victim in the middle of a mass of trees or on a totally un-landable slope. The former of these situations can be largely avoided, if you can find a mountainous search location, which doesn’t have too many, if any, trees.
Keep it on for Grand Canyon, or you’ll be severally disappointed 
You are suggesting that MS/Osobo sat in a conference room and decided to intentionally add bugs to frustrate its customer base, so that they could reduce their revenue from the game. Your post will be viewed as disingenuous. I would suggest making more constructive post to be a part of the solution.
Are you really really serious??
This post should be taken offline.

I have the same impression. It’s like a sabotage job. Who designs funny Error character models with a thumbs up gesture? Who approves passengers hilariously hanging upside down from Bonanza G36? It seems to be designed with intent to ridicule MSFS 2024.
So you are determining DEI based on the number of non-whites hired. This type post doesnt belong on a flight sim discussion board.

Well, in all of the areas that I’ve opened up so far, in Career Mode, a lot of which are mountainous areas, like the whole of the Alps, I can see just one helicopter S&R mission, globally.
There’s apparently something not quite right about the mission spawning code.
Maybe nobody ever gets lost heading into peak skiing season, in Europe?
Edit: Oh and there’s not a single Private Charter Flight.

Well, I made one last attempt today to finish on a satisfying mission:
- Employee 737 flight
- Again, no problem logging into the game after Update 3
- Aircraft setup complete in 10 minutes. But, passengers were boarding from ramp stairs, one by one, at about a 1% per 10 seconds. I did not want to skip to taxi, take the penalty, and make my flight worthless (regarding Career System progression).
- I accepted the reatively realistic boarding time
- Started both engines (without being slammed up and down into a crash like then last 737 attempt), successfully taxied and made it onto runway for takeoff, then commanded TOGA
**** Just before rotation at 142 knots, it looked like I hit something in the middle of the runway and tumbled my aircraft before → “You Crashed your Plane” → blank screen and respawned to climb out above runway.
**** Exit to menu. ****
Now, three times in a row
…as well as consistent to near certainty

Just toss it aside for now, in the current state it is no good for anyones mental health… From having to set parking brake on helicopters with skids, penalties for taxiing with flaps out, aircraft flipping upside down when starting missions, the whole thing is fundamentally flawed.

I see a lot of posts about bug issues playing Xbox & flying missions. As for myself, I’m just interested in “free flights”. I just like planning a flight from my home airport & flying to various destinations. I mainly criss cross N America & the Caribbean islands . Are there a lot of bugs in “free flights”??? Currently I’m still with 2020 & will hold off on 24 until I start reading better reviews.

Crashes, soft locks (depending on the aircraft), bug-ridden aircraft, non-working lights and controls, awful LOD and scenery, blurry textures, flickering textures and foliage, no model matching in AI traffic, problematic ATC. Xbox Free Flight in a nutshell.

The ability to fly the world with the plane of my choice unimpeded by game breaking bugs at every turn. It’s a personal choice 
Also I would imagine that Xbox users, VR enthusiasts and PC24 fliers could chime in with a comment or two
