Aside from real world schedules, the career mode is going to rate you on your performance and it is NOT going to ask you to put out a fire in a C 172. Try to keep the assumptions at the door. Nobody on this forum has a sense of humor .. Enjoy your "career"..
November 15, 20241 yr I personally think I will try both. Will wait and see if 3rd party mission can be flown bypassing main career. Certainly nothing is carved into the stone. Remember MSFS has been greatly driven by "simmers" not by developers, so f majority want something to change most likely it will Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

November 15, 20241 yr Just now, Bobsk8 said: It's all pretend, you want reality, get a pilots license and get up in the air for real. I always was thinking if somebody could combine Airhauler, Neofly, PilotLIfe by incorporating best features of all in one add on. Like in Neofly you have to take exam in particular category before you can fly it. I think it's reasonable enough; however, I like more exam structure itself in AirHauler. PilotsLife could bring real life airline schedules, seniority levels and etc, but there is no freedom to fly free flight and to be counted toward you career.

November 15, 20241 yr The only thing funnier than pretending to fly an aircraft on your computer is pretending to do a job while pretending to fly an aircraft on your computer. Just as I would feel silly (perhaps embarrassed is a better word) pretending to fly an F16, I would feel silly pretending to rescue 'people' from a burning oil rig. Personally, I try to keep it as simple and as realistic as possible - pretending to fly an aircraft I could conceivably fly if I could afford it, to all the places I could conceivably fly it to. Some may find that limiting but I would feel very uncomfortable stretching the fantasy too much further than that. If I want to pretend to be someone else, I have proper games for that. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
November 15, 20241 yr I do agree with some that locking some of these activities behind the career mode is a bit limiting. Let us just load up a fire fighting activity outside of the career mode. Edited November 15, 20241 yr by Tuskin38
