Subject: Serious Glitches in MSFS 2024 Career Mode: ATC Failures, Mission Bugs, Cargo Visual Issues, and Taxiing Crashes
Dear MSFS Support Team,
I’m writing to report several critical bugs I’ve experienced in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Career Mode, all within just the past two days (Sunday and Monday). These issues make it extremely difficult to complete missions fairly and progress in the game.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the problems:
- ATC Communication Failures and Aircraft Pileups
I’m penalized for not requesting taxi or runway clearance, yet no option appears in the ATC menu or mission objectives to make the call.
Even after successfully requesting clearance, ATC often doesn’t respond, leaving me stuck on the runway indefinitely. Meanwhile, 10 or more AI aircraft pile up on top of my aircraft, creating visual glitches and a mess of overlapping models.
The ATC system appears to be completely overwhelmed and unable to manage takeoffs and landings properly. Even restarting the game doesn’t resolve the issue.
- Mission Objective Glitches
In a VIP 737 mission worth 52,000 credits, I loaded passengers, taxied, and took off successfully—but AFTER takeoff, the mission suddenly prompted me to board passengers, call the catering truck, and other pre-departure steps. These objectives should have been completed before departure, yet they appeared after I was already airborne.
When I tried using the game’s ALT fast-forward feature (as suggested), it sent me back to the runway. This resulted in penalties for landing on the “wrong runway” and failing the mission.
- Cargo Mission Visual Bugs
In some cargo missions, cargo is correctly visible in the aircraft (like boxes in a Cessna cabin), but in others—especially larger aircraft—no cargo appears at all, despite the mission marking it as loaded.
- Taxiing Crash Glitches During Parking
After landing, I’ve followed the ground marshaller’s signals into my parking spot, only to suddenly crash into an invisible object despite being guided to continue forward. This causes instant mission failure and is extremely frustrating.
These issues have all occurred within just two days of normal gameplay and make Career Mode unreliable and frustrating. I hope your team can prioritize fixing these bugs—especially the ATC handling issues, mission objective timing errors, and parking glitches.
Thank you for your time, and I’d appreciate an update on when we might see these problems addressed.
