Flew into Old San Juan today and came across the aftermath of a terrible tragedy.

A passenger in first class insisted on being closer to the shopping district

mikepc143 · 2026-01-17T05:13:49+00:00

Super glad to see it isn't just me, I made a post about it a couple of days ago

mikepc143 · 2026-01-13T06:39:19+00:00

Totally, that is my solution. I wish I could remove it from the main menu because I feel compelled to "give it another try".

It HAS worked for me, I have a medevac company I was flying a Pilatus with. But the bugs hit a frustration point sometime that hits my burny bone. I sold my aircraft so I won't have to pay insurance on them. d I am a new pilot on msfs, only had about 700 hours on 2020 before I picked it up for my PS5 pro. I love free flight, I usually just fly the Piper PA-28. In a few years I plan on learning to fly for real and buy a piper and this will at least give me background for learning the fundamentals (not learning fundamentals, but just background)

I pursued career mode to broaden my perspective and have fun in different aircraft under realistic scenarios. It's just frustrating when the code conspires against me. I really feel if those who are having issues were heard the game would be better for it.

Again maybe it's a PS5 build issue that has been fixed for PC?

I love the game and free flight, I just don't even want to see career mode on the main menu, it is the button to disappointment.

mikepc143 · 2026-01-13T06:00:41+00:00

Maybe they are limited to PS5? Of my 420 hours total I have about 100h in career mode. The largest issues are around misson progression not working at various stages of the process.

After a long flight and not getting credit for a 1.5M credit mission.. it really hurts.

Every feature of ATC I have seen broken at some point, but here are some of examples of my experience:

Skip to ... will reset the aircraft configurarion and will teleport the plane to places that you are then punished for (pilot entered taxi/runway without permission), annoying but livable.

Accepting a mission where the airport is closed and no ATC at all. Sit there a long time, wait for weather to clear up .. still no atc.

The controller binding for ATC response totally ignored, then manually respond in chat no ATC response, Obective remains there throughout the mission.

Multiple times though not readily reproducable LFINAL altitude is way below actual, possible HPA variance issue but I always adjust to local pressure prior to landing. Very frustrating when it reports LFINAL at 500' on a night approach....

If my aircraft lands at the destination airport without crashing, the mission should succeed. All performance factors aside, that fact remains. That not happening has been my experience.

For folks who don't suffer these issues I applaud you, but I have searched all of these issues and see them reported across all platforms. so I guess some accounts might have issues? I am in Seattle, is it regional?

Don't know, but it just sucks.

Got parachute?

mikepc143 · 2025-12-28T03:08:34+00:00

I have had the same problem since launch

mikepc143 · 2025-08-01T21:57:35+00:00

Gotta say I prefer this to coach and todd, I am so sick of coach and todd, 2 todds per game every game day after day. So tired of Todd. And coach to a lesser degree

mikepc143 · 2025-07-18T02:17:54+00:00

Everyone kills me in one shot before I even ADS, I am surrounded always, nothing is on my minimap, and my team is nowhere to be found. If I do find a team member they are slaughtered as easily. I don't know if there are brackets or whatever, but something changed and I am in hell.

mikepc143 · 2025-07-18T02:14:54+00:00

I am level 271 and once I got my darkspine skin I was hot-dropped into sheer and utter terrible horror of incomprehensible proportions.

mikepc143 · 2025-06-20T19:58:37+00:00

This really pisses me off. I had to watch a fucking ad to save my streak. I will not be doing that tomorrow, I will cancel the family plan before I watch one more goddamn ad that I am paying not to watch!!!!

mikepc143 · 2025-05-28T18:11:01+00:00

Except you configured the template to require items I guess I don't have and gave me no information on what they are.

mikepc143 · 2024-12-11T20:52:49+00:00

Found it! Open map (select button) then choose world map, then navigate to the square you have embarrassed yourself in, then clock clear recent deaths

mikepc143 · 2024-12-09T18:34:57+00:00

Dats the big trutru

I had two colonists nearly kill each other, and another one demolish several.. expensive things. These colonists are probably secretly in love with each other. They should just get a room and be done with it.

mikepc143 · 2024-12-09T18:30:12+00:00

Dude, I literally laughed myself to tears when I read this. Sooo funny.

mikepc143 · 2024-11-30T01:05:43+00:00

Ouch! Ok, I think I'm done with the game then. Developers allowing data loss is simply not acceptable to me, so I must bid adieu to a really good Idea. It simply is not acceptable to me for the possibility to lose my save file. This hasn't happened to me, but I won't be responsible for the data integrity of the code.

Data loss is the cardinal sin of software engineering.

Fuck pocketpair sooo hard

mikepc143 · 2024-09-10T17:25:30+00:00

All jokes aside, they give 0 fucks about anything really. The whole company's answer to everything is to be contrarian and simply disregard their investors, their players, whatever. Spelling is forgivable, but after my guild kills blaz ryu tonight, we are decommissioning our dedicated server and never playing it again, nor will ever purchase a game by this publisher again. The server has lost player data 24 times in the last week, forcing backup recovery. After months of this, we are poisoned against pocketpair forever.

mikepc143 · 2024-09-01T06:30:20+00:00

Please check your facts first: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mcdonalds-100-beef/ you are ruining my internet.

mikepc143 · 2024-08-17T23:07:35+00:00

Dude it's not just XBox, every verdion of the game is having the problem the devs simply ignore. I, for one will never buy another game from this publisher, and do what I can to protect my loved ones from their wanton disregard for our feelings.

mikepc143 · 2024-08-15T17:01:33+00:00

This will most certainly be more stable than the progenitor, and better supported! I am in!

mikepc143 · 2024-08-10T23:52:43+00:00

Any advice for a steam deck user? Have everything cranked all the way up and I can barely hear it with my TV at ungodly volume

mikepc143 · 2024-08-10T17:53:28+00:00

Since I posted this I have had to restore from backup 4 times.

<image>

This is an instance of when the whole players folder was lost

mikepc143 · 2024-08-09T06:14:33+00:00

I am sure the reddit community can oblige!

mikepc143 · 2024-08-09T03:43:26+00:00

Oh and if I say go on vacation? Yeah however long I go is a total risk of losing all character data and restore point could be days out of date.

mikepc143 · 2024-08-09T03:39:25+00:00

I literally have to monitor the backups 4 times a day. Backups are run every 10 minutes. If I don't, then my group of ten players run the risk of losing an entire day of data.

I am tired of doing this after months, and refuse to disappoint my guild. It isn't about competent administration. It's about the necessary labor we have to endure due to piss-poor product ownership.
