The career mode activities are very much designed for “the simmer”. Everything you can do in career mode will be a simulation of a real-world flight operation conducted daily by actual professional working pilots, not a “game-like” fictional activity like flying through imaginary floating rings or whatever. Our team has worked very closely with actual organizations which conduct these flight operations such as search & rescue, coast guard, aerial firefighting, and more to ensure Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 simulates these ops in the most accurate and true-to-life manner.
Also, in case you missed it, Jorg and Seb had a very detailed presentation about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 at FSExpo last year. They discussed many new features and improvements that go far beyond just the pilot career mode. You can watch their talk on YouTube here:
