Nighttime flying in careermode, and landing airports with no lights mealy impossible


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Hi all this is more feedback more than a bug, I think there could be a flaw in adding night time flights in careermode, Ive just done a 3 hr flight to UA-2244 Starokostyantyniv Afb, the only issue there was no lights I had to use the visual guides and the PFD to land, So this might be difficult for alot of simmers who might end up crashing on landing due to airports with no lights :sweat_smile: just a suggestion could a filter be added like jobs with runway lights and jobs without

Thank you Andy2790

Career mode is offering night flights to you? Any idea what you did to make that happen? All my missions seem to happen around noon +/- a couple of hours.

sure start a job in the evening time late afternoon and thats all the time just carry on like normal

That’s not how it works for me. It’s 8pm local time where I am (UTC+01). Here’s a typical mission I can pick up in my home region, Europe:

The UTC timestamp in the EFB matches the start time of the mission:

When I start the mission, it’s broad daylight. I only get missions in broad daylight wherever I try, independent of the actual local time:

Career mode has literally NEVER offered a night flight to me.
I have all licenses and endorsements that I’m interested in (only fixed wing, no taildraggers, no airliners):

I wonder what I’m missing.

Hmm not sure i was on a company cargo job for my own company, flight started like this



and ended like

I also made some night landings (and noticed there are often no lights, even at an airport I checked in advance where the runway chart said that there should be lighting… ). The “trick” is to just start a job that’s normally ending somewhere in the afternoon, and then doing a several hours long break mid-flight, because the time just doesn’t stop even in menu pause :rofl:
