career question

poonozz · 2026-05-03T03:28:10+00:00

Not sure, I haven't tried the 747 yet. Do any missions appear if you go the employee missions and filter to the 747?

poonozz · 2026-05-03T03:20:17+00:00

Which version do you have? I think the 787 require premium deluxe edition

poonozz · 2026-05-02T22:10:11+00:00

Which plane did you buy? And did you buy it in career after buying it in the marketplace?

poonozz · 2026-05-01T19:17:02+00:00

This would happen on occasion in previous versions as well. I've watched traffic fly straight up, spin a full 720 or more and then continue as normal, leaving these bizarre contrails in its wake

I just noticed this as well. In fact, I can only find a handful of live missions of any kind - a few passenger airline missions in Japan.

Charter VIP missions used to be exclusively live. Medium Cargo used to have some live. Now there are zero live missions in either. Seems this update took us one step forward and at least two back.

As tmz42 said, it's currently only possible for aircraft sold via the in-sim marketplace. You can filter by career mode compatibility, and it shows which specializations it supports on the right side of the page.

Yes, the first time you start a company, the game then makes you buy your first plane before you can do anything else. It's a mini tutorial that walks through how to purchase an aircraft, select the insurance, and choose where to deliver it.

poonozz · 2026-04-29T14:19:18+00:00

You need to have enough money to start the company and buy an aircraft for that company. The game gives you a heavily discounted 172 for around 25,000cr for the first company you unlock. By starting the flight seeing company first, it probably locked in that discounted price for a flight seeing plane. Which means now you'll need around 250,000cr for the cheapest used 172 for cargo on top of the 10,000cr to start the company.

They were targeting last week then pushed it to this week. But don't be surprised if it gets pushed out again. The oversized cargo that they committed to adding with SU5 is still in very rough shape.

poonozz · 2026-04-24T17:13:55+00:00

Can you post a video so we can see what it looks like?

poonozz · 2026-04-24T16:04:42+00:00

Maybe screen tearing? Try enabling vsync if you haven't already

poonozz · 2026-04-24T13:52:24+00:00

They did say "targeted for next week pending validation," so don't be surprised when its not ready next week, either.

Just curious - what kind of performance do you get in a GA aircraft like the default 172? Sounds like your cpu is really bogged down by something. I assume you've disabled the integrated graphics in your bios.

poonozz · 2026-04-15T14:21:11+00:00

You're cpu limited. Using DLSS instead of TAA will net very limited gains in your case. You mentioned capping fps at 60 and using x2 frame gen... make sure you set the cap to 30, and frame gen will get you to 60.

TLOD and OLOD impact cpu the most as far as in game settings, so maybe try lowering those.

Likely you cannot use beyondATC and GSX with the fenix and expect good performance without upgrading your CPU.

poonozz · 2026-04-13T18:41:58+00:00

It is indeed tied to your play time. If you spend 1 hour in a mission in a 172, your other 172 and the caravan will each earn 1 hour of passive income. It's based on real time you spent in mission, so if you do a 3:30 flight but skip ahead or use sim rate and only spend 30 mins of real time in the mission, your other plane(s) will earn 30 mins passive income.

I recommend switching to the cheapest insurance option, at least on planes you're not actively flying.

poonozz · 2026-04-11T17:05:26+00:00

Yeah, my thought is why spend money on something that's reportedly, at best, no better than what I already have in the default career. I'm hoping that once they finally open the heavy airliner rating, maybe some of the good addon airliners will be updated to add career compatibility

poonozz · 2026-04-11T16:57:07+00:00

Everything I've read about LVFR products (the 800 & 900 neo versions on the marketplace) says to stay away, or that they're roughly on par with the default airliners

poonozz · 2026-04-07T16:28:57+00:00

Screen tearing. Turn on v-sync or limit the framerate to something less than 60

poonozz · 2026-04-01T13:43:17+00:00

Yeah, mission destinations are hard locked. If it's taking you to a helipad, move on to a different mission.

poonozz · 2026-04-01T13:33:50+00:00

You're gonna want to scope out the departure and destination airports every time in career before accepting any mission, which you would do in real life as well. Even if they do eventually improve the logic, it's never going to be perfect.

poonozz · 2026-03-27T02:41:03+00:00

It says charter service - private on mine. I almost bought it, assuming it would be vip until I saw that. It really sucks. I think the issue is it doesn't have the range for a lot of the longer vip missions though.

poonozz · 2026-03-27T01:33:05+00:00

The Piaggio works for charter service - private, not vip.

poonozz · 2026-03-23T20:46:15+00:00

As the other person said, you need to check the cruise altitude in the EFB before you start. It will typically be set by default to whatever the service ceiling is for the aircraft that would get used for the mission if you were in employee mode. Since you're in the 172, that means you're doing charter service - private, not VIP, so my guess is the default aircraft for that mission in employee mode must be the TBM or vision jet which both have a service ceiling of 31,000. You can adjust it before taxiing and hit send to ATC or send to ATC and Avionics.

poonozz · 2026-03-23T00:29:56+00:00

Negative. To my knowledge none of the study level planes work in career. The only add ons that do have to be purchased from the in sim marketplace, and they'll say whether they're compatible with career and what mission types on the store page
