The Game is completely broken and no longer fun

[NamexDon]

Im not sure how many people this issue has affected but it makes the game much harder, drawn out and boring.

Private Charter - VIP missions and Cargo Transport - Medium are completely unavailable for me, I don’t know how to rectify the issue. I have restarted my career mode from scratch in anticipation of some form of change but none has come.

The game is based on a progression system in which the more certifications you have, the more businesses become available to you. The draw back to this is that the planes increase in value along with the general maintenance fee.

Since I don’t have the 2 most lucrative businesses available to me (Passenger Transport is completely broken), I am forced to grind Private charter service in order to make money.

I have just purchased the Citation CJ4 (as it appears as a purchasable plane under my private charter business), however no missions exist for it and I’m unable to use it to complete my missions.

I had to sell my ES-30 and pack up shop as Passenger Transport is broken. bought an ES-30 and it crashed costing me 300k. The latest patch was released and it functioned under very specific circumstances, I was only able to complete 4 short mission before the game broke again and failed my mission, this time costing me 4mil in damage. I sold my plane and bought a 2nd second hand plane. Instantly crashed again this time costing over 6 mil in damages.

At this point in time, I have no more business that work or remotely makes sense financially, also, for the past 2 days a grand total of 0$ has been issued for passive income. In addition, I’ve seen on 2 occasions where I have completed a mission, received my xp and then did not get paid.

This game is beyond frustrating and I strongly believe something should be done to reimburse players, it makes no sense to play a game if the game itself puts you in debt.

Its also no fun doing the same thing over and over again when there are other things that can be done but are unavailable to you because of the broken state of a game.

You’re not the only one. See this forum topic for more details:

2024 Career Mode

I’m really looking forward to this. I’ve been using NeoFly off/on for a while now and I’d had tempered high hopes for 2024’s career mode. Looking at what is described in the marketing copy and what TwoToneMurphy shared on his intro to 2024, it looks significantly more detailed than I had hoped for. I can’t wait to get involved with it. Anyone else?

It goes from “wow! Can’t wait to try career mode!” To “career mode sucks! Completely broken!” Lol

Msfs2024 Is a cluster, their quickly taking 2020 down the same road…

Asobo are using their customers as unpaid alpha testers. It’s a disgrace.

[WeamDreaver]

Have you done the introductory missions (the ones with the gold/yellow icon) for each specialization? You will only get missions after you’ve completed those.

[Pilotfirst9999]

Sorry about the difficulties. There are some good youtube vids out there on the es-30, apparently you need to open and close the cargo door at the RH side rear and for some reason it stabilises things. Secondly, if you buy an ES-30 or any plane and it isnt sufficiently repaired it will crash. Third if you have not done the GOLD star missions - might be in employed section - you wont be able to do a career in any category you have a business in. For passive earnings - I dont know where you live but log out before UTC in your local area and then log back in. I still get passive earnings for missions that fail even though I dont get mission payout.

The community here will help you - check out the forums, they are informative.

Did you switch to Employee mode and do the “Golden” missions to unlock things like Medium Cargo (might be over in Japan? or something, I didn’t keep track of which ones are where)?

But you MUST do those golden missions after you get the Specialization to open up those missions.

Basically what is working moderately well (cough) are the basics like C172 / Vision Jet G2 / PC-12 (ish) / PC-24 (ish, only in that Preimium Deluxe package for now) in Cargo-Light, Cargo-Medium, and Charter-Private – IF you remember to reset the altitude and set to VFR flight at the right point.

Passenger (Saab 340 / 737 Max) is indeed VERY sketchy, I won’t spawn in an airport that I haven’t tested in Employee mode first so I haven’t flown very many, been busy testing airports.

[NamexDon]

Yup I’ve done them all. If you look closely at my screenshot you will notice that the option to purchase the business just doesn’t exist only game.

In my first career attempt I skipped cruised on them both and actually crashed the Grand Caravan failing the mission. I thought that because of that the missions were unavailable. I was at level 90+ and restarted my career mode thinking that would solve it. It was then I realised that I just don’t get the option the own those businesses.

[NamexDon]

I completely understand what you’re saying brother.
I have done all gold missions and passed them all (This is my 2nd career mode attempt)

Those business options are just not available to me.

I have all certifications and passed the gold missions

The businesses just aren’t programmed into my game I guess

[Mootinator]

Move the scroll bar under the top “Eligible Companies” row to the right?

Edit: You don’t need to open a separate business for Medium transport missions but your company does need to have a PC-12/24 or Cessna 208.

Same with Charter Service business. VIP or not just depends on the missions available/which aircraft you own.

[AlphaMikeF]

I would add to this, Draco in Light Cargo. A veritable rocket ship. I find good landings hard to achieve but it is my preferred light cargo plane. And just occasionally I do land on a sixpence.

[NamexDon]

That’s a good point and I initially thought so myself . However I purchased a Citation CJ4 and no missions populated for it . When I tried to complete a mission , it points out my Cirrus Jet as my nearest aircraft (mind you the Cirrus is half way across the world .)

@NamexDon

Private Charter - VIP missions and Cargo Transport - Medium are completely unavailable for me,

vip - vip is done with the same charter service as private vip
there are not many vip /vip on the map thats a known issue.. there are a few, more in Europe - thats where Ive flown my CJ4

medium cargo is done with the same cargo transport company as light.

do you have a suitable plane for each?

private VIP = vision jet, vip = cj4 or similar.
cargo medium = 208b or PC12

so yeah, id agree, there is not enough variety - but its not broken, well at least it works for me fine.

[ProzFly21]

Don’t worry you’re not alone! I’m trying to complete search and rescue missions on helicopters, I only have 2 available, and for some reason, “Daniel” or “Pierre” are always in the middle of the forest camping somewhere, and everytime I try to land to rescue them I hit the trees and have a crash. So I can’t finish the mission and I lose points and reputation on that.

This game is completely broken from the beginning and it will not be playable in the next 2 years probably.. Microsoft and Asobo knew about all of this bugs, they just lunched the game and uses us as alpha and beta testers. What a shame!

Also the performance is very bad for a multi thread game as they promised! Nothing is good about this game!
