The new career mode looks interesting, but I wonder how many will use it with MSFS 2024...

As long as the focus is on flying and isn't too repeatable.

I hope you can switch back and forth between being a bush pilot, airline pilot, flying museum pieces and the odd helicopter. Basically being a freelance pilot but one that also on occasion gets hired to fly large airliners.

I remember career modes in the original IL-2 which always ended very prematurely in a smouldering wreck.

I guess these will be more survivable so I'm looking forward to tyring them 🙂

Like all games (or simulators), why not try everything and see what you like? Nothing stops us from doing free-flights like we're all used to.

Yep looking forward too it, I enjoyed/enjoy NeoFly but always prefer as much default in game options over external.

Of course external apps can generally be more in-depth in various areas, but for ease of use with simple basic features the MSFS24 career mode should be just fine for my needs.

I was but I'm fearful it will be a superficial career. What I mean by that is, will the career points be simply judged by getting a task done and not HOW the flying is done?

You crash landed upside down touching a specific rooftop helipad in bad weather, yay you finished the task and win! Instead I would expect something like that to be a total failure. The measure of the actual flying is what I'm interested in within career, not just the task.

Me too. MS is making a game of MSFS, but a flight simulator is not a game... At least not to me.

Oh for sure, as long as it isn't full of awful gen z dialogue and silly objectives but at least a somewhat serious approach to everything, then it could be interesting.

I’m very excited for it. I grew up on flightsim since fs98. All I did was airliner stuff because it was my child hood dream to be an airline pilot. Now that I’m “living the dream,” my interests in how I use my flightsim have gone to GA more than airlines. With the career mode, it opens up completely new objectives and uses for me and different types of flying. 
 

In my opinion, the greatest thing about the new msfs 2024 is the fact that there are different game modes. It’s awesome that free flight as we know it is still there and we can do whatever the heck we want. At the same time, having a mode that requires you to go through the path of getting certificates that would “unlock” certain missions is amazing because that what it’s like in real life. 
 

my only concern is the check rides. I hope they aren’t completely off the wall unrealistic.

You definitely haven't been following what the career mode is all about.

@Bobsk8 It's funny that you liked that post when you use A Pilot's Life V2 lol.
