No I did not alter the default flight plan. I am a casual player on Xbox. I generally do all my actions through the XBox controller or Hotas controller, and use the default flight plan. I do not have a mouse attached to my XBox, and hence it is nearly impossible to manually do anything (such as manually move controls within the cockpit; or do EFB work). That said, I enjoy the game and like doing “no skip” flights.
These missions I’m trying to fly are in Career mode: medium cargo, and my plane is a Cessna 208B. The default flight plan should be consistent with that scenario.
Don’t blame the victim: Certainly, the $70 game should work fine for casual XBox players that simply want to fly the default flight plan that is supplied for the Cargo Missions, no?
