The career mode is server side for one reason only $$$

@Wardooni

since they will sell you 10000 “SimCoins” to speed up your progress in career mode.

Where are these coins and how much are they?

Seriously Asobo…
A pure single-player experience with aircraft modules the player already purchased with real money. And still trying to force players to pay a second time to get it in the career campaign… That surely explained the F2P level of grind with no economy difficulty options selectable in career mode.
This is the level of greed and shamelessness that is beyond all those F2P P2W games… At least you get what you paid for in those games.

Isn’t this like every other major title out there? Play for free, or spend money to go faster?

@Wardooni

Meaning career mode is locked behind content on which Asobo can double dip.

I’ve not found any locks yet.
