Free Flight Fun?

[Vetr "Winter"]

Are there locations in free flight that include wildfires and sinking ships?

If so please let me know where!

I believe these are only found in career mode.

That's correct!

[-M*A*S*H-]

I would have also liked to be able to play the different missions without going through the career mode

It's a shame that they didn't give the players a choice

They should have made it so that those who don't want to go through the career mode like me to play the missions don't have access to the achievements (personally the achievements don't interest me)

This simulator is really amazing but too restrictive in the free flight mode

Well. Modelling helipads, weather, ships etc. Perhaps in MS Flight Simulator 2030 they will model something as dystopic as live natural disasters lol.

Instead of sending live aid irl, now you can boot up your OMEGA PC and send virtual help with your joystick at hand.

lol

Edit. Ok joking. Perhaps it would create even better awareness of such for all I know. They would have to update their model with live disaster data too. Supposed it is doable to some extent as of now even. Why bother? Just play the career missions? Likely just wasted data and resources that ought to go into improving the game as is, currently, imo.

Edit2: I think indirectly, you're asking for career to be included into a free flight open world. The game series is not there yet :)

Because the mission system is janky as hell and doesn't work for all of us. I, for one, can't get missions to load still, but free-flight works just fine.

I'm hoping some 3rd party developers are able to figure out how to leverage the built-in mission system to make better use of it in the future than MS/Asobo did.

There's discussion at Asobo on including Mission content into free-flight. Who knows if they will follow through on that. They are aware, anyways.

Indeed, basically they are protecting their "baby" that is the career missions environment that will probably remain a closed property stuff...
Opening events into free flight would allow 3rd party to create some stuff too.

I would love if it free fly had more of an mmo feel to it, you land, you refuel, your position is saved when you log off and you can search for nearby events with other players.

Yeah, that would be awesome. Career needs atleast AI traffic, ideally other players.
