You won’t be flying through imaginary circles in the air.

you will earn points for accomplishing certain rescue missions like we had already back then with FSX, on which I never spent more than 1 or 2 attempts. I, like probably many here on avsim, am more interested in better IFR, scenery, weather, atc and etc 🤣

The of the career choices is commercial aviation, which IFR is a part of.

There’s going to be improvements to all aspects of the sim, the sole focus of 2024 is not ‘activities’

They haven't given any details about the aviation activities? Where did they say "you'll earn points"?

Also, once again, good to always take note of what they *actually* have said: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/msfs2024-november-19th-2024/644877/136

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.

Between now and November 19, we will be revealing much more information about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to the community, including answering some of your most common questions. We’re confident core simmers will be very excited with what we have to share.

hello guys, i think we have to realize this is not real life , ive been simming since 2001 , what we get now to what we used to get is totally different world , we cant expect perfection its just not possible  

Perfect should not be the enemy of progress. MSFS can have better weather depiction. It can simulate hail.

You could post this a million times and people will act like they're blind.

that's why, until November, we enjoy to speculate and assume.

You know what they say about assumptions....

Using evidence, like past practice and an in game trailer, is a presumption, not an assumption.

absolutely no idea. 🤣

once MSFS 2024 has released, these entertaining speculation threads will not entertain us any longer and we can finally start to complain.

That's what I'm talking about!  I'll take the new sim now though, so we can start fixing bugs.

Sometimes I am very glad that I am not 'a meteorologist and RW GA pilot' so I can simply enjoy what MSFS2020 offers me like I will definitely enjoy what MSFS2024 will offer me. MSFS2020 still blows me away whenever I use it and I am sure MSFS2024 will blow me even further away. It's a good thing I am almost bald already or I'd fear I would become it.

not necessarily blind, perhaps just not interested in career mode, realistic rescue activities no matter how advanced and how developed by professionals, just not the primary focus of a private GA or airline pilot. as a real world GA pilot, I have never ever missed or dreamed of such activities, the $ 100 burger after an otherwise uneventful flight and perhaps recap with a copilot was award enough for me. I understand that may be very boring for many non-pilots, and way not enough for the large gaming market that Xbox game studios needs. If these gaming activities are included that's great for those who appreciate the entertaining aspects, the rest will just enjoy the better scenery and hope that workingtitle might be assigned to an ATC overhaul or some such.

It's not about being interested or not, it's about misrepresenting what the career mode is supposed to be despite the many things MS has said to the contrary.

What if the realistic rescue activities start you off in the mess room, an alarm goes off and you run your avatar down through the hanger to the plane for a cold & dark start whilst the rescue mission pops up on the tablet....and that's just the start. 

Dreaming perhaps, but that would be very cool.
