@@brandonjerue1205 Thank you for your feedback. I can only hope the full product will have a few lessons in each certification and at least make the recommendation to learn the phonetic alphabet. :)
Remember all the lessons leading up to this were disabled in the tech preview so they will hopefully explain everything during those. Great video btw. Those that weren't able to get in the tech alpha will get a good feel for what career mode will offer.
@@ForderLearnToFly I have over 1,000 logbook hours in airliners in MSFS 2020 just as flown in real life. I'm NOT doing this general aviation "career" mode. Here we go dumbing it down to appeal to the children of the video gaming world. It's laughable. Microsoft always take the path of least resistance after the failure of MSFS 2020. Shame on them.
We don't know as it was tech alpha and a limited release. But I will find out this Tuesday while I stream for 8 hours on twitch. Bring your questions as I have all platforms to install on (PC, steam, Xbox). I will say as a real pilot and a teacher, students for the PPL could only fly on nice days, where we have little wind and vis had a real horizon for our outside visuals. I have had many student sessions cancelled due to less than ideal weather. So for the PPL, keep it at blue skies, few clouds and great vis. Eventually learn about crosswinds and foward slips and on up into IFR training in worse conditions.
Great vid! Question if you have a sec: I’ve been concerned watching all these preview videos because it seems like every career mode objective involves having to guide the plane through very specific floating, blue brackets. I’m sure there’s likely to be an option to disable these, but would you still be able to pass the objective if you’re not flying the exact path? I hate the look of the brackets - makes it feel less like a sim and more like Pilotwings on the N64.
@@justinmills1721 thanks for your question. I can’t try anything in the sim yet as we only had 3 days and now we all wait until Nov 19th. I will be doing a marathon stream on my twitch channel on the 19th starting at 11am Eastern time and will try your suggestion. I hate the blue brackets. Imagine that in real life. Teach us the legs of the pattern, the altitudes and show us first. Then grade us as we try. (Like in real life). I will come back to here and report my findings on the 19th.
I see what they're doing. A career mode with a proper progression system ( which was totally missing in 2020 ) it's probably the best way to bring new players into the sim. It gives you purpouse, tasks, objectives and a good amount of dopamine when you reach them. I know a lot of players on Xbox which try the game and feel completely lost. There was a time when everyone of us didn't know nothing about flight sims and it was probably really difficult to start. This mode is ( potentially ) perfect for that. My only concern is that it seems to be barebone tutorial wise.
Thanks for your feedback. Shared cockpit is high on their list, they have promised. For now, we have been using “Your Control” but not for Xbox flyers so we need this in sim.

Hey @blueline308. You need your PPL in real life before any other rating. IFR is an optional rating that many pilots won't get if they simply love general aviation, renting small planes and flying on great weather days. IFR costs money and time and typically for those seeking a career in aviation.
I am stock on choosing the location. I enter the airport iden I want to be based on, and I have no option to validate the airport and continue on. I do not not what to do
Absolutely. In fact, I highly recommend it. Simulating real flight doesn't happen on a keyboard, (except loading a flightplan in an FMS). Flight training is controlling your plane for speed, rpms, ailerons and elevators. This is best done with a flightstick or a flight yoke. I am not even sure keystrokes would even work, but certainly would be a frustrating way to manage an airplane and certainly not recommended. Even the cheapeast flight sticks or an xbox controller connected to a PC is better than keystrokes.
I agree. Whole books are written on seaplane flying and an endorsement takes another 10 hours with a CFI. At least give us the dumbed down version for some awareness and enlightenment. I’ll just have to make that happen on my Twitch channel or another Udemy course.
Hi Howard. Will you be updating your (3) Udemy courses with MSFS 2024 content or publishing all new courses with ground the school material ? If yes, have you an ETA for them ? If no, which Sporty’s package do you recommend ? TIA
Thanks for your question. I will certainly be updating all my Udemy courses with this new 2024 sim as the environment is more realistic. Crosswind landings, turbulence, visibility and so many more things make it more realistic and easier to teach and demonstrate. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I will be starting on the helicopter course first, as I was using a homemade collective out of PVC pipe and it was sticky. Now I have a Virpil collective and a better sim after Tuesday. I will start recording demos for Udemy on Wednesday and every day afterwards.
Hey @jcalof I just answerd that on live stream for you while you were there. But I will mention here for others who are reading this. That video was on my home sim PC with a powerful Ryzen 9, 5900 CPU. But the graphics card is the bottleneck. It's a Nvidia 3060. Great for testing what a lot of people also have. I will upgrade it in a few months as we move forward. Thanks for tuning in the livestream today.
07:10 If people are thinking that a game will prepare them for the real world experience, they have serious mental issues. Does Euro Truck Simulator prepare you for a truck driving career? Does Rail Simulator prepare you to drive trains? Is Sim City a good prep experience for a career as a civil engineer? Are people really going to think they don't need to take classes because they've played Sim City?
At least in your timestamp, he simply said “a feeling of accomplishment” - “something to learn”. He wasn’t wrong, in the sense that many career modes in games do that. A feeling of accomplishment and learning something doesn’t make you a professional, it’s just the sense that you overcame a challenge or learnt something new. The other thing is; yes you can use Microsoft Flight Simulator to complete Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) training and log a proportion as simulator time towards your cert. You would need to do this alongside a certified instructor, particularly given differences in the real world, but you can absolutely use simulators like MSFS as part of your training. The other point you made, about Rail Sim, Truck Driving Sim, Sim City etc. - no, they do not give you the qualifications required to do those jobs, but they might pique your interest enough to push you towards those careers. I think that’s a pretty impressive thing for a game to do. I have zero doubt many pilots started their journey messing around with sims.
A good thread here for thought. Thanks to both of you for your input on this. Just so you know, our home flight simulators can't be used to log any hours at all. But I did use Xplane and FSX to practice real lessons every time I came home after a real lesson. I did the exact same airport, radio frequencies, checklists and locations. I went to the practice area (Toronto Island Airport and Oshawa area). So I chopped 2/3 of the cost of training off my total cost. It is because I was more familiar with procedures and skills needed because of the simulator. Others asked me to help with curriculum and practice suggestions. You can use it to do the same things as real life. Crosswinds, IFR procedures, ATC, circuits (patterns) and more. Now with 2024, the propwash and turbulence are more realistic. The ground and water resistance is more realistic. I can't wait to do my all day stream on Twitch on Tuesday, the 19th. So much to test.
… thinking back to FSX, I can recall there was a lot of data to read within the sim and to be honest this inspired me to want to know more, so I found myself getting books etc. Obviously this wouldn’t be for everyone and all tastes have to be catered for, however they may have perhaps oversimplified … there should be more indicators for those who want to know more, which may inspire some to become real pilots … perhaps this will come?
These tasks seem a lot less like “training” and more like highly simplified, guided activities. They seem far less detailed than what was offered in MSFS 2020. In 2020, there were a dozen or more lessons, covering each phase of flight... take offs, climbing, speed management, altitude management, visual navigation, flying the pattern, landings, etc. before you actually soloed. Here, you just jump into the plane without any training, fly the pattern, once, and boom, you’re a licensed private pilot. (?!) They should have put the whole 2020 training exercises inside the 2024 Private Pilot license as sub tasks. I understand that for the new comer, they want to get you into the plane and flying right away, but this career path seems a little too over simplified and gamified in my opinion. Maybe they should start the Private Pilot license with a fully automated virtual “discovery flight” to introduce you to all aspects and considerations of flying the plane, and then have you start each lesson with ground school (Overview of the lesson tasks and criteria that you will be graded on) followed by in-plane flight training of a single task, like it was in 2020. Once you’ve completed and passed all the basic tasks, then you do your solo flight and get your license.
I mean in fairness I think its aim is to attract people to aviation not really prepare then for real world flight. Can one get kinda close in the sim sure. Did I have to learn VOR navigation and pretty much everything else about flight outside of the sim, yes. But being an avgeek I didn't need the game to teach me (thougj I definitely see the value if it did). It kind of has to cater to everyone, to get them interested. I've been playing since the early 90s as a vision condition prevents me from achieving an actual license. It just wasn't built to be a trainer. But hey, any real world pilots out there I'd love to go for a ride and learn more ha
It is free. They use a credits system. So when you fly the missions after each certification, you build up credits, like getting paid for flying. Then use those credits for the next certification or endorsement. (just like real life... to keep us real flyers broke) LOL
Is there a way to bypass some of these licences ? I already have a career going on in Xplane where i struggled to build up hours licences and fleet. i'm not a kid with unlimited time, I can't see myself restarting everything
no. You have to at least take the exam to get the cert. But you saw me simply do an airport circuit and I passed the exam and got my PPL. If you are experienced, you can blow through a lot of those check rides and get your certs. There is no way they can certify how many hours we have on each sim. I have hundreds of hours on every sim since 1982, plus hundreds of hours in Cessnas in real life. But it can't know that in the sim. No worries, take the check ride and ace it.
So this is the core of the sim? This is the focus since first teaser. We have a career with proper training that may or may not exist. I hope it is a lot better than this when the sim is released.
Me too. I suspect we didn't have any of the lessons in the Technical Alpha. We will find out Tuesday as I test the sim to the fullest in a marathon stream on Twitch. Starts at 11am Eastern.
@@ForderLearnToFly I am looking forward to seeing more about this career mode. I did not preorder the sim because I am no longer a hardcore simmer. This is actualy the first Microsoft Flightsimulator version that I might skip since Microsoft Flightsimulator II. The main reason is that I am only able to fly the small airplanes because I don't know how to fly the big ones because it would take me to much effort to learn that. If a good learning program would be in the sim by default then that would help a lot, but it seems Microsoft is often better at making the sim then explaining how to use it. When I bought MSFS in 2020 I thought that there would be excelent training options in the sim but that was only true for the smaller airplanes. There was no detailed explanation how to fly a Boeing 737 or something similar. And sure, I could get all that information online somewhere from different sources but I can't be bothered to search for that and read manuals that already assume that I know most of the stuff that I try to learn. I would like all that information in one place in the sim itself where the instructor assumes I know nothing and start from there. I hope this will be in this sim and if that is true I will buy it. If not I will skip it.
Yes, no tweaking of graphics or settings in the alpha. I am also running an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 card which will be a good test on Tuesday during my marathon steam (launch day). Eventually, probably upgrade to a newer card going forward. I have to re-record a ton of new stuff for my Udemy courses.
Not sure that I will be bothering much with the career mode, it just looks cheesy to me. I knew they would have to dumb something like that down but I didn't realize it would be that simplified, I see it like one of those skill testing questions you get when you win something and doesn't take any skill to answer.
ruclips.net/video/g0sgaQuN8ZU/видео.htmlsi=ZcSLFfwGf8C4xQ4W. In this video you see the training page which was showed in an msfs stream earlier. This was excluded in the alpha but sure is there.
I cannot beleive the wealth of technical and training expertise they have availiable, the decades of game mods and free training videos and resources there are and they dare call this a 'simulator' with this level of 'flight training'.. they just could not be bothered to program it. It shouldn't be 'real' but where is the basic laws/comms/ navigation / rules of flight circuits... embarrising.
Good point. I am hoping they include a ton more in the full version being released this Tuesday. I will be streaming on Twitch the whole day and this is the first thing I will check out.
why the ATC voice acting sounds so bad and like plastic, like a teacher speaking to 5 year olds, Jezzz why they didnt do a more natural human voice, sounds like AI and for me is a immersion breaker, and you are right i dont like the Sim is always holding your hand, with these boxes and constant alerts, you should be able to do it yourself and then you would receive your score in the end, at least you could have that option, man those blue boxes just throw me of from the career mode and look at the size of the taxi markers..is comical, and i was very hyped but for something more realistic, surely not buying ms2024 on the release date i will wait, im haPPY at this point with MS2020 and my beloved DCS

Total flexibility of your avatar. Can be any shade, any eyebrows, any glasses and hair. You name it, it seems to be endless.
Sorry, @blueline308 - I don't understand your question.
I cannot beleive the wealth of technical and training expertise they have availiable, the decades of game mods and free training videos and resources there are and they dare call this a 'simulator' with this level of 'flight training'..
they just could not be bothered to program it.
It shouldn't be 'real' but where is the basic laws/comms/ navigation / rules of flight circuits... embarrising.
Good point. I am hoping they include a ton more in the full version being released this Tuesday. I will be streaming on Twitch the whole day and this is the first thing I will check out.
why the ATC voice acting sounds so bad and like plastic, like a teacher speaking to 5 year olds, Jezzz why they didnt do a more natural human voice, sounds like AI and for me is a immersion breaker, and you are right i dont like the Sim is always holding your hand, with these boxes and constant alerts, you should be able to do it yourself and then you would receive your score in the end, at least you could have that option, man those blue boxes just throw me of from the career mode and look at the size of the taxi markers..is comical, and i was very hyped but for something more realistic, surely not buying ms2024 on the release date i will wait, im haPPY at this point with MS2020 and my beloved DCS
I don't wanna have a career. just let me do missions
