Useful tip, when using the Sim Rate at 4 clicks above normal flight, to avoid missing a ATC transmission, keep up the communication window. It will "Grey Out" at the bottom prior to ATC talking to you. This will enable you to quickly reduce your Sim Rate down so that you will hear the clearance and be able to respond.
There are many useful videos out there but very few well made and easy to follow as this one. Got a lot of info now on my note pad to follow in game. Unfortunately for me the game changes ever time I load it and that being settings change, graphics change and aircraft become unflyable. Seems everyone has different issues but cannot go to MFSF2020 as I runs my PC 100deg constant (good job it was a demo) One thing might be useful for others is that on your main map there are areas not highlighted for missions. To get this opened go to an airport there select it and options will open, choose to go there and pay a little fee and it opens out with more missions. I have opened all my favourite areas doing this. Thanks for an excellent video tutorial enjoyed it very much and learned a fair bit. Happy new Year and safe flying to everyone.
Thanks . Still not solved the DH2 glitch. I may be brave enough to try again - but longer missions where the fuel will run out take more time....Anyone else had any other experiences?
these are great, i had found a few that you have here, lol. But most will be useful, AP being the biggest one, i have been through your tips twice now and at the moment i'm going to see how i do in AP, always seems to want to fall out of the sky, i think i maybe doing something wrong throttle wise, but i'll see. Thanks so much
i still don't have it right, it trundles along good, then all of a sudden the AP seems to take the trim up to high, on this occasion it took the trim to +75 stalling, then nose diving into the ground, but at least i got to hit ESC this time and save the crash, lol, i am in New Zealand, so may post at the wrong times for you, lol 😎
All I want is to get past the wall between VIP and short cargo missions that give less than 100K credits. Next level transport costs almost 3M credits and I just don’t have time to grind in a C172.
If you are too far off the GPS course, NAV will not track. You need to have nav selected and use the heading bug to manoeuvre close to on track. Nav will then pick up and take over.
I'll take another look but I have tried to lock on to GPS when on track and all lined up - no success. In free flight I don't have the same problems. I also need to see if there is something going on with where the next waypoint marker is in the flight plan. Does a traffic entry give a waypoint that the sim can GPS to, or is the arrival just at an airport. This said, I have not had this problem in free flight....thanks for commenting.
Also I'll add when going for Medium Cargo missions in freelance career have your planes ( Caravan, PC12 etc ) delivered _outside_ of Europe - I prefer Australia - and fly missions there. Europe will give you headache after headache of landing at airports that are totally unsuitable for these planes ( tiny, short runways, glider ports and mountains ) Australia will give you mostly long runways, and also the longer 6 and 7 hour plus flights that are worth over 1mill credits each.
On my Cessna 208B whenever I try to engage the autopilot, it literally flings its nose in the air and then banks super fast and almost inverts... it absolutely HATES AP. Am I doing something wrong? My VisionJet is butter smooth and no issue at all, along with my 172. Why does the caravan do this?
Hi. Thanks for watching. Mh answer is that I really don't know. My Caravan is fine but over the last two days around half my missions have been successful (escape with out crashing). AP is fine for me. Errors around the tower giving me permission to taxi/take off have increased, and flight plans are not always implemented, meaning that I lose my way. I have had no problems with AP It is usually the other way round - come out of AP and there is some or other setting that is out,. leading you to plummet to the ground. My thought is to check all your control settings to make sure that there is nothing in the background that the AP is working against. I have found a binding et that shut off the engine - and I have no idea how it goes there. Things will get better.
Thank goodness for Hype's h145 and the free Random and anywhere pack. Out classes msfs24 and we didn't even know it... Hoping for great things from Say intentions - Sky Ops.. Msfs24 career is a shit show.. How many times can you look for someone with a orange back pack. Tedious.
I'll check that out. Anyone else had any experiences here with this? Early advice was not to skip the taxiing. The problem is that whilst you can see the bonus for not skipping, you cannot tell what is counting against you.
forums.flightsimulator.com/t/career-missions-not-paying-full-amount-of-credits-upon-completion-if-any-portion-skipped/669394 Also, watch out for CTD errors from skipping taxiing, but that may well have been fixed now. It would still be really good to see a breakdown of lost credits at the end of the mission (as opposed to the major failures in not acknowledging ATC or overspeeding on taxiing. Thanks for watching.
@@theflyingdoctor I've experience zero CTD from skipping taxi, and confirm you lose no Credit or XP by doing this. Now, depending on what you are doing, you can't skip flight (B737 one example of many). I can do a video showing you where you can and can't skip parts depending upon the mission.
I don't even understand, why a FLIGHT simulator now is a "second-full-time job simulator"... As a person with a life and real world obligations this stoooopid decision was, what made me pass on MSFS 2024, despite the enhancements. If they would have just allowed for an optional Career and made the new tasks available as an "activity", as well. But no, they had to introduce the Grind™ and not everyone has time for a boring 3-4 hour "transport flight" each weekend, for months(!) to "advance" in the career and grind enough credits and xp to do the "interesting activities" the developers so proudly teased, but now hide behind the grind... erh, career mode. 🤦🏻♂️
It does get better once you progress to say Medium cargo freelance runs and you can start to buy a fleet of planes. I agree though the initial grind is horrid with this game ( it does make you a better pilot though )
As a person with a life and real-world obligations, I love the grind, but that’s just my opinion. The grind gives me a purpose to play. Without it, I get bored. But it would be nice for them to have some sort of way to bypass (but not entirely remove) it if you want. They should make it to where you are able to play sandbox, full grind, or missions within the sandbox.
When you _do_ crash in career mode ( and it can happen through no fault of your own ) do absolutely _nothing_ , don't CTD, don't click on anything. Just pull the plug on your PC ( yes I'm serious ) Restart and it's as if nothing ever happened. Either that or grind to fix your crashed plane.

Excellent video. Binding to a button the "Set fuel dump switch" might be the answer to your final point in the de Havilland

Good informative video.Thank you. Just what I needed.
Extremely useful tips, thank you!
Thanks for watching.
13. Hit CDI instead of OBS. Make sure CDI is GPS to follow a gps track. LOC1 and 2 are for localizers.
Tip #1 don’t hit the tree on the runway

You can press the heading bug and it will sync to your current heading, then you can adjust from there.
Thanks - I do feature that (I think!) - so many versions of that section in my head.

Brilliant advice.
Good to know but I never flew in Australia so is there anyway to unlock any location?
@@richardtrager7125 Click on an airport in Aus and teleport in to unlock the area.

@theflyingdoctor fixed it. Yawn Damper was off and it's needed to maintain stable flight with autopilot. All good haha
plz plz plz STOOOOOOOP The music its really Hardcore :((( and not relax music !!! change it or disable music plz
Here’s a tip…..fix the damn mouse on Xbox so I can fly and discover all the bugs for myself.

the music was so loud so I had to skip, sorry
He's wrong about skipping taxi. Always skip taxing. It cost you nothing.
