Career mode like msfs 2024

1st Official Post

    I tried out msfs 2024 recently and I have to say that the career mode feature is so nice.

    Do you think it is possible to add something like that (maybe in a smaller dimension) in Af 4 and mobile.

    So for example you start with the Cessna 172 and do short flights or sightseeing trips (in New York for example) and you have to earn credits. With more credits you can buy fighter jets to do escorts or military missions. When you have earned enough you can buy airliners like the dash 8 or 737 and you can be a real commercial pilot (or you can just get hired by some airlines)

    But when you buy your own aircraft you have to do maintenance and have to pay to insurances…

    In my opinion this would be a amazing addition to my favourite flight sim:)


    (And it would be very cool to have Male Airport in the game with the twin otter)

    We have internally discussed this idea long before the competition even announced their latest flight sim product and we came to the conclusion that we would like to add more interactive challenges but we don't want users to have to play through all other challenges first to unlock the ones they actually want to play. This doesn't rule out a career progression, we actually already have a small progression system in place right now with the badges. If you want to achieve all badges you'll have to fly those planes but we're not forcing you to fly challenges to get there.

    So to summarize: more fun stuff to do: yes. Locking it behind a forced progression system: probably not.

    The approach you guys made with career is the current best approach in my opinion
