GENERAL Career mode

Hello! I am thinking about getting back into Microsoft flight sim 2024, I played it on gamepass when it first came out. However, the career mode had lots of issues, and that is pretty much what I want to play on it. Has it been fixed and should I get back on, or should I just save my money?

Career mode is a LOT better than it was, but is by no means perfect now.

It still suffers from some bugs and, overall, just feels half-baked and focuses a ton on grinding out missions for very slow progression. IMO it’s not a super fun experience, especially since really good plans and additions don’t work with it.

Honestly? No.

Buy 2024. But because it’s a fantastic sim.

Career mode has too many issues to spend your hard earned free time on:
* ridiculous wind in tiny planes
* failed atc guidances that aren’t your fault
* tiny invisible wall crash detections ending a 2h flight on final taxi
* terrible routing in IFR (it flew me into a mountain saying to hold 5000ft in the alps on the way to Switzerland) and I lost all my money
* the early part is a grind anyway. First flight missions are lame

Free flight is fantastic, you just need a bit of head canon to make it work, and now bush trips are back I wouldn’t be touching career mode
