Career mode is a mess.
I keep having the ATC bug out and i cant respond. So i get dinged for that. Ran out of fuel a few times. I dont set the fuel the job does. I have had to land on the wrong runway many times because the sim does not seem to know what the winds are. I cant fix that. It will force me to fly to a spot and they expect i can instantly turn the plane to a line with the runway. I guess the physics of how flight works is beyond the devs. ITs lots of fun to spend hours and end up with nothing to show for your efforts. If you start a company for sight seeing. You make the same amount as you do just flying as an employee. So you actually lose money trying that. There is no way that they didnt know this stuff was an issue. There are way to many issues. I recommend if you can refund your money and go back to 2020

ATC bug - usually it works when I open the ATC window and confirm from there

out of fuel - Fuel is always set to 50% no matter what. Add fuel before flight and restart mission when you in front of the plane for the first time. (or "add fuel" via button)

wrong runway - the problem is, you are setting a runway with yr flightplan before a mission. So these blue rectangles will always lead you to exaclty this runway. However if you call tower, it sometimes happen they give you the opposite runway (because they know very well about wind)....you now have the problem that these rectangles lead you to the wrong runway, as the Tower (and the game) wants you to land on the other runway. So yeah, listen carefully where the tower wants you to land or when you are able to choose the runway by yrself, pls keep in mind that these rectangles always lead to the runway in yr flightplan.

I like to hear them scream and yell at me "are we going down".

Once you accept the mission and before you fly,... Top right hand corner area you will see a pop up option to manage your selected aircraft.. Click manage, then new screen.. top left you will see fuel... click... bottom left, purchase fuel.. toggle wheel you need to drag around in a circle until either your happy it's green or you fill up the tanks. then click purchase... back out.. go to fly... to insure you are full.. skp the walk around, once plane is started... ESC... restart mission (costs you nothing doesn't impact mission nothing..) once restarted all your fuel should be there for mission to be completed. I've flown nearly 600nm doing this never ran out. Happy flying
