Regional flights in a CRJ for career would be excellent. Should’ve been implemented from the get-go as a stepping stone up to the airliners.

Yeah choose time of flight for all mission types, those red dots flights are awesome because we can choose. We should especially as freelancer be able to choose when my airliners takeoff
All the local legends the ATR all those other paid for Asobo aircraft should be automatic career mode too

Here is my list of what I’d like in career mode
Small companies (first flight, sightseeing etc)
- create a home base at a small airport that actually acts like a base of operations
- Be able to purchase hanger space, hangers, FBO’s etc (KMIA = more expensive than some small grass strip)
- Create/run a flight school
- Missions based on location (IRL I used to fly people down the Florida coast, past Miami downtown and back up the beach at 500ft then back towards Fort Lauderdale exec, a beautiful flight. Can’t do that in Arkansas)
Executive/Business aviation companies (VIP, Charter)
- Reposition flights! (Hey you’re in KTEB your flight picks up at KHPN, empty leg there by no later than this time)
- Be able to sign contracts with companies (Hey this tech company wants to hire us to fly their execs around, they’re based in San Francisco… Might have to open a base of operations closer to them based on how large the contract is)
- Take out loans to buy aircraft, hire pilots/mechanics, expand your business.
- BBJ’s and ACJ’s just because
- Helicopters? Most VIP transport don’t use R66’s especially with Helis like the S76++ now available in the sim.
- Private SAR? Buy some Miltech MH60’s and go search for lost boaters/refugees around south Florida or lost hikers in the rockies or campers in the high deserts
Airline/Cargo large aircraft ops
- Dedicated routes
- Paintable aircraft (brand recognition)
- Purchase hubs and gates at major airports
- Advertising
- Speciality missions for special aircraft (the Beluga ain’t carrying iPhones or rubber dog doodoo)
Overall changes
- 3rd party aircraft/airport support!
- More realistic aircraft pricing
- More realistic maintenance intervals (no engine overhauls every 50 hours???)
- follow procedures such as airport operations without random penalties (taxi speed?)
- realistic flight ranges (not every flight needs to push the max range of the aircraft, it’s ok to fly a Cj4 300 miles, I’ve seen a Falcon 7X fly 90 miles IRL)
- Different modes ( not everyone wants to run a company, can I build time and go to the airlines and fly for a virtual airline, or fly some company or rich guys jet and collect a paycheck)
- Stuff to buy other than airplanes ( I’d love to start in an apartment and work to buy a house or have to move to another state for work or buy a nicer car or a boat. All of which can work in the sim already)
Right now though I’d love to see career mode work, just work, it was half baked at best at release and it’s better now but not fun (It feels more like a number go up simulator)
Also make all this optional, no you shouldn’t have to grind for a real year to buy an airline if you don’t like GA flying, start an airline and go fly your boeing or airbus, don’t like tubeliners? Cool go run the largest flight school in the country or just a small 1 or 2 plane business out of a small grass strip. Make it the choice of the player as to how they want/can play, it is single player so who cares how someone else runs their career. Yea you don’t need to start an airline currently but more variety would be nice other than the same copy paste missions just from a slightly different small airport.
I’d also like to see more varied dialogue from the passengers, doing heli missions, everyone’s mom seems to be worried about them eating breakfast, its the same conversation every time.
Liven up the environment at airports, they often feel very dead, Class B and C airports are busy all the time, cars, vehicles, aircraft etc always moving,

Guess it depends on the mission type. Banner towing at 3am doesn’t exactly make sense.
For the ones that make sense in a Career specialization, sure - most do not, in my opinion.
For me the answer is very, very simple and is so critically important to flight simulation, so the fact that it still hasn’t been addressed in a major way tells me that, unfortunately, it never will be addressed… But, it’s LIVE WEATHER! It’s so important that, if necessary, I’d be 100% OK if an entire sim update was focused only on live weather. Is that going to happen? Almost certainly not.

It has to be model matching in multiplayer. It’s been a disaster since the launch of 2020 and it’s still as borked as ever.

Which one? CS? As far as I know, that isn’t officially compatible with FS’24 (though it is usable, I’ve flown it in ‘24).
Also, in my opinion, we need a 717 with better avionics first. The CS one is much better than when it was first released, but the LNAV and VNAV are seemingly still based on the buggy A320neo v1 from FS2020 and need some serious work. If only TFDi would port their 717 from P3D…
(I am aware this is off-topic, just wanted to put in my 2 cents.)

We definitely need a more advanced Boeing 717-200, Captain Sim’s 717 isn’t deep enough for me, and when I flew on a Frontier flight to Atlanta last year , there was a ton of delta 717 200’s at their gates (which only keeps my interest in flying them higher 
)

1- Weather improvements, especially visibility. Currently visibility only simulates around METAR stations. Snow cover in Live Weather also needs a BIG overhaul. Still get snow to low levels due to snow data resolution being too large.
2- Generic Airports. Would love to see cones and gables at smaller airports. Wig wags and runway stop lights at larger airports.
3- Improved ATC. Larger/redesigned ATC window to show all options without needing to scroll. Improved IFR handling, emergencies, etc etc.
They would be my top three must fixes going forward

I am with @flybeast691 :
- ATC needs overhaul
- Weather is another aspect which would need some improvements
- More variation to the default airports

Please.. please enable the 2020 functionality where the extra render windows running before entering VR are restored when exiting.
It would be so much nicer to go straight back to the 3 screens I started with rather than having to exit to settings to restore them.
And a really nice extra would be to automatically change the sound output back to the PC from the headset.
This is somewhat about good manners… ie if someone drops in while you’re wearing a headset you are rather obliged to take it off (unless you are an unsociable type 
), but you don’t need to stop the game… they may even be interested in what you are doing.

As there is still no standard profile for my Turtle Beach Flightdeck, every session starts with setting up controller bindings. And each time I end up postponing the session to another day and go back to MSFS 2020 which is still working perfectly for me. Maybe next year… ?

A controller doesn’t need a built in profile to allow you to use it. Just map the controls as you wish. Most if the time the default choices need changing anyhow, so almost easier to start from scratch. I have a few controllers like this and never expecting to see them have this.
It doesn’t need it but it helps if it does. My Virtual Fly Yoko+ had a profile for 2020, and 2024, which was pretty much perfectly what I needed out the gate. No need for me to set it up from scratch.
MSFS2024 is awesome already, but i hope to see in near future:
- Working Saab 340 - now it’s just a bad joke of a premium deluxe aircraft. Let WT or Black Square rework the whole cockpit pls.
- Realistic icing on airframe, propellers and in engines etc.
- Contaminated runways and taxiways, so that the braking action and grip ie. in turns would depend on weather and if there’s ice or snow or puddles of water.

My biggest wish: World Hub
But not the limited version we had in the past. A fully functional scenery editor with the ability to place all kinds of objects available in the SDK. Let us place buildings where they should be, add and remove vegetation, create signage and so on. Similar to X-Plane

I love low level flying in helicopters, so better road traffic and trains would be awesome to have. And fix whatever is needed to properly support GAIST ship traffic.

Default bindings are set by the peripheral manufacturer, not by MS/Asobo. But I’m confused - your control settings wipe out with every session?? How are you closing the sim when you’re done?

- button to maintain all planes at the same time
- displaying location of planes (i cant find a certain plane sometimes, i have to click on all the yellow plane signs in career mode to find it finally)
- more livery variations (career mode)
- less maintenance intervalls
