Its a idea i think u being pretty stubborn if u don't want a flight sim to evole even in a small way.

Because of the virus lock downs twice as many children in third world countries will become severely malnourished. But other children seem to be forgotten, it is very good of you to remind us the first world children's suffering. What will they do after playing the hundreds of title already geared toward them?

What were you expecting. It's a flight simulator, not a combat simulator. For those of us that used to fly for a living it's a chance to refresh our skills and try challenges like flying and landing in bad weather. Just this morning I flew a short flight into an airport that had only .3nm visibility and a 200 ft ceiling. That was nice and challenging. So there are plenty of things to do but it's not an arcade game which is apparently what you were expecting.

I don't like fighting games. Am I gonna complain about one of them saying that's all you do is fight one another? This is clearly not the type of game for you.

You can do as much or as little as you want to do a flight. It all depends on how far you want to go.

The flight planner in FS2020 is very basic but you can download free ones that are much better that work with FS2020. But then that's getting more involved and takes time to learn a flight planner. Sometimes I plan flights out and sometimes I just pick an airport and an aircraft to start, mostly GA aircraft, don't do the tube liners much, and then pick an airport not too far off to fly to.

Instead of flight planning I bring up a map sometimes. I use a map made for FSX (https://fsxmap.com/) or I just use the fly direct to feature in the G1000's. Select direct to, enter in the airport identifier and hit activate. That gives you a direction to fly.

You don't have to learn instrument approaches, you can just fly to the airport, drop your flaps and gear and make a landing. So again, it can be as complicated or as simple as you want to make it. Sure there is a lot to learn if you want to fly by the rules. But start out slow and ask questions. People on flight simulator forums are only too happy to help. If you want to learn the flight rules, how to fly instrument approaches so you can fly in the weather and land just ask and people will point you to where you can read up and learn. It will take time and that may or may not be what you want out of a flight simulator. Again it is what you want to make of it.

Also, this flight simulator has enough already built into it that you really don't need to buy anything else unless you want to.

U put some simple leveling in a game look at a hit ghost game. Leveling can mean nothing like getting a nice paint for your plane. Again don't start if u owned a plane u could paint it what u want.

What is your point? If you don't want to play, presumably nobody will force you to. Seriously, are you telling other people what games they should play, or is this just a simpleminded TROLL?

The devs even thought about a career mode and need one for xbox

So you're just saying that the game needs further development?

You're spot on there. A large portion of General Aviation pilots spent good money to get a pilot's license. Then there's buying, renting, or time-sharing a plane, insurance, maintenance, hangar rental and fuel.

Oh,wait.! You must mean getting paid as an Airline Pilot. My bad.

No need to apologize. You wanted a game but bought a flight simulator. There are some gamey aspects in it already such as the bush flights and landing challenges.

If they add a career mode I hope it's something other than flying buses back and forth between major airports. I could do with smuggling contraband low and slow to avoid radar detection or flying people into remote fishing lakes. Even private charters. If it's a Commercial Airline Pilot career I'll probably just skip it entirely.
