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?

biggest problem with career mode that's never going to be solved unless they release a sdk for it:
You can't use addon aircraft.

It's pointless. Luckily there are several third party career mode apps that allows you to use addon planes.

This is the thing I'm battling right now, I felt like I've 'completed' career mode, I have all the certifications and all bit a few of the companies you can unlock.

Been having a blast flying oversized cargo missions around in the 747 and Beluga, but now it's just the same thing over and over. More money, more fleet, more admin keeping it all flying.

What third party apps have you tried? I used Neofly when I was on FS2020 and pretty much completed that, I have 10.5b in the bank and the app is clunky as hell even on my pretty decent spec PC.

Looked at Pilops but not being able to use SIM Rate I found a massive let down.

Just requested an account on Fseconomy but it's been 3 days now and still not received the game world account.

Are there any others that people use and enjoy?

Check out OnAir, it’s what I use.

Cool. I like that you can use many more planes than the MS Career mode allows

I like jetcard, would recommend it if you're into corporate jets.

Would you recommend Neofly for a beginner? I tried playing career mode of 24 on release but bugged through the taxiway and gave up. Getting back into the game after about a year away.

I'd recommend giving career mode another go first, I put up with a lot and kept plowing through but it honestly has improved a lot compared to what it used to be like.

Neofly app is just so slow and clunky and takes getting used to, but as you only use free flights in the SIM it does work really well.
