Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 | Career | Search & Rescue!

[@CowTown]

Hello thank you so much for stopping by! Thrilled to see everyone is enjoying the video :) Up next, we'll be diving into Aerial Firefighting!

[@NateSpencerWx]

Sounds good!

[@Tuulos]

That would be a pretty scary rescue. You are sitting in the plane as it raises, thinking that you have been saved when the pilot says that let's have a little conversation and turns his head 180 degrees to face you.

[@Jackycian]

The search and rescue aspect really attracts me! I just hope they can patch the launch problems, before i buy the game

[@CowTown]

Yup this is exactly what I was hoping for with the career stuff, just awesome! As for launch problems, I'm 16 hours or so now in the sim things have been running great after the launch day server issues for me! (Sure some bugs here and there but nothing that ruins the experience!) Hope you'll be able to dive into the sim soon!

[@mcam707]

Launch problems already have been resolved, and the first patch is live as well. You should be fine once you decide to hop in. I recommend playing the game with an ethernet connection though.

[@jaymac7203]

It's working fine for me on Xbox Series X 🤔

[@JediHutch61]

As a flight medic, I think it’s much more realistic for SAR to be a Helo. Our fixed wing aircraft are generally not doing SAR missions that that have to land without a runway/strip (generally too heavy to land without at least a packed gravel strip) and we operate in Alaska. Most SAR here is via H125 A-Star, Bell 407, or Black/Jayhawk. Soon to see AW-189s up north for SAR.

[@PetterFormo]

Honestly, this is what I've always missed from Flight Sim. I've seen all the negative comments about all the faults, but just video alone have made me decide Imma buy the game!

[@CowTown]

Right? Such a fantastic addition to the sim. Honestly minus the server issues day one (which those issues have been resolved) and a few bugs here and there. The sim has been fantastic in the 16+ hours I've spent with it. Couldn't be happier, have fun flying in the new sim!! 🙂

[@MrStrosty]

Man these missions I’ve been seeing is really interesting.

[@m.h.7266]

@@PetterFormo it's fun and I really like the career side more than I thought I would.

[@jaymac7203]

I'm actually loving the career mode lol it's so immmersive 😊 I've only just got my multiple engine license and tail dragger license so I'm not too far along.

[@CowTown]

Yup it's awesome! But hey making good progress!

[@elpiloto100]

Thanks for posting these! This makes me want to buy MSFS2024 even just for the career mode, despite all the issues. With these types of career missions, I wish they would go more in depth and and take the opportunity to teach us about SAR search patterns, etc. instead of just having you fly aimlessly in this general circle.

[@CowTown]

Absolutely thanks for stopping by! I'm sure these missions will evolve over time!

[@14chaychay]

Dude great video. Definitely earned a subscriber. Keep it up man!

[@CowTown]

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed! 😁

[@Appalachian-Exploration2]

your videos are so satisfying to watch lol

[@CowTown]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@man_vs_life]

Nice to hear such enthusiasm. Search & rescue and aerial firefighting are the two I look forward to the most. It was interesting to see this. It would have been nice if the guy you rescued had given you a thank you.

[@CowTown]

Yup been loving this new sim! But I believe he said thanks soon after pick up and at the end before parking! 🙂

[@gemizu4874]

Wow the career mode looks amazing! There is so much to do i'm very surprised, This is what the previous game was lacking, i'm definitely going to enjoy search and rescue missions especially at night time with no UI/HUD only the cockpit to navigate, its going to be an incredibly immersive experience.

[@CowTown]

Career mode has been excellent! You're going to love it!

[@dees6427]

Really nice video mate, perfect for a sunday afternoon!

[@CowTown]

🙂 Happy to hear you enjoyed!

[@WiredoGamingAndCubing]

Watching this while the game is installing, I’ll definitely watch more of this series and try this mode for myself once it installs. Great video!!

[@CowTown]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@koosemar]

New subscriber. Chilled fun is definitely needed. ✌🏻

[@CowTown]

Thank you! Happy to have you here and yup this calm content is what I’m always doing 🙂

[@Blackwater_Jack]

That was an awesome mission. I have never searched so hard for an orange van in the desert. :)

[@CowTown]

It was! glad you enjoyed 🙂

[@UnrealSun]

Hey, great vid ! If you're wondering how to turn off the visual blue gates for more realism you can do that by biding a key for the option "show visual aid" in the settings :)

[@CowTown]

Thank you! And great to know I’ll be sure to turn those off for future videos! 🙂

[@AUTOmaniak33]

Миссия реально классная и интересная) давай ещё парочку миссий, очень интересная подача, и приятный голос))

[@CowTown]

Thank you! More to come! 🙂

[@69adrummer]

Really been enjoying these videos with my morning coffee! I wonder, do they put the patients/victims in different spots on every game? It would be a bummer to buy it and think "I know right where he is!" lol I expect they have the ability to do almost infinite locations so it's always random for every game.

[@CowTown]

So happy to hear you're enjoying the content! 🙂 But yeah I think it's going to be a thing where it'll be awhile until you would ever run into the same spot again I would imagine!

[@Steadymobbin711]

Loved watching this!

[@CowTown]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jaymac7203]

Yeah, that "max speed flaps" penalty is a complete nuisance 😭 Even when you take off, it penalises you. Having to take off without flaps is ridiculous lol

[@CowTown]

Haha yeah looking forward to that getting patched! At least it doesn’t deduct too many points from the overall score 🙂

[@anto687]

The first too-low pass into a death turn was genuinely nailbiting 😅

[@CowTown]

Haha no doubt about it!

[@CryptomeNL]

Awesome mission and good landings!

[@CowTown]

Thank you! :)

[@Gutek155]

Love your videos ! Looking forward for new videos !

[@CowTown]

Thank you! Tons more to come 🙂

[@bigmansmokey9858]

Your funny as hell man, could you upload some SAR with the heli, the USCG style rescues seem interesting!

[@CowTown]

Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah I still need to get the helicopter certifications and such but we'll definitely get to it!

[@antonioiozzi291]

Nice to see the Cubcdafters with tundra tyres. Never seen before.

[@CowTown]

Definitely pretty awesome!

[@janolas5945]

Love search and rescue missions also like that its not so easy :)

[@CowTown]

Agreed! 🙂

[@vitalmind]

For a second i thought that guy was gonna get a close shave before the plane stopped lol.

[@CowTown]

Lol haircut and being saved at the same time! 😝

[@lcf34]

really cool. I think Abdel was high!

[@CowTown]

Lol possibly!

[@Rip1Outdoors]

Really enjoyed this.

[@CowTown]

So happy to hear that! 🙂

[@pokerrulesnow]

i really like your videos

[@222tg_]

Playstation boy here, MFS is definitely the 'game' that almost gets me to buy an Xbox, because man if I want to play all this. (I'm not a fan of maintaining a PC)

[@CowTown]

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this eventually makes its way over to PlayStation down the road. Would be awesome to have even more folks flying around in the world!

[@222tg_]

Absolutely, would be a win for Microsoft. I've been looking for that since the 2020, unfortunately even today everything online says that is unlikely, but hopefully they're all wrong 😅 - great vids man keep it up ​@@CowTown

[@CowTown]

Absolutely! But thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🙂

[@antonioiozzi291]

Nice video quality. What pc do you have? I have to buy a new one for MSFS2024!

[@CowTown]

Glad you enjoyed! 🙂 I have Pre-Built one from Acer (3070 RTX, 64 GB Ram, and some i7 Core processor don't remember the specific one lol)

[@StrGzr101]

I figured he'd be in an area where a plane could land easily. I wonder if repeating the mission places him in a different spot.

[@Raph1321]

Great Video! I was trying to notice, does your aircraft feels uncontrollable at times? I had many flights that seem like the weather was over 60kts on a clear sky day. I also noticed that you received a Bad Weather Bonus on a clear day

[@CowTown]

Thank you! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed, as for uncontrollable aircraft I can't say I have noticed anything like that at the moment! But I believe it gave a bad weather bonus was due to flying around the mountain sides with updrafts if I'd have to guess. (But I'll take the extra XP either way 😜)

[@austinmcknuggets458]

15:31 May be unique but most cases the max flap speed is the white arch. So at least in this case you applied them at ~75 while the white arch is maybe 65-70. As for on ground, does the game suggest flaps while taxing/takeoff? I assume on soft/short fields it would, but on standard it may be saying to not use flaps on takeoff. or you could be taxing with them down vs adding them right before takeoff

[@CowTown]

It's possible, but even if you're sitting still it pops up with it. But we'll see as time goes on! Haha

[@crackerbarrel6965]

That’s like finding a needle in a haystack.

[@CowTown]

For sure!

[@jakegaberdiel1576]

How did you get the soft landing for the specialization, I’m having g a hard time getting those done

[@CowTown]

Best bet are doing either First Flights, Flightseeing, or Ferry Flights. Just make sure you go to Grass Runways! That's what I was doing for that requirement :)

[@zenistfpv]

Ive tried this mission 8 times now, even followed your exact path to landing and I always get stuck a few feet after landing trying to taxi to the car. Doesnt matter where I land, how fast/slow I try and taxi the ground 'grabs' me and I cant move anymore even at full throttle. I'm (mostly) enjoying the game but the bugs like this are making it increasingly frustrating!

[@CowTown]

You might have parking brakes turned on by accident (or it turned on for some reason during the flight), make sure by pressing (CTRL + Spacebar) to release the brakes to see if that helps!

[@zenistfpv]

@@CowTown I wish it were that easy. Tried that repeatedly (you can see if they are engaged or not by looking down at the pedals. You'd also end up nose down if you landed with parking brakes on) Lands fine, moves 5-10 feet afterwards (mission changes to "Taxi to target) then stops. Full throttle does nothing, rudder/tail wheel steering does nothing,

[@Ljet600]

16:21 You are repeating the situation that occurred a few years ago when the Ju-52 crashed in the Alps.

[@CowTown]

So many mountain crashes around the world they're definitely some scary operations

[@sascenturion]

That was cool ...enjoyed that! ...thanks 👍😃 Ps. New sub

[@CowTown]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed! 🙂

[@corrado.08]

Awesome mission, but I'm still wondering how the ai guy talking to you was called Eduardo and had a female voice lol

[@mrep9460]

Fly OVER the target. Not fly beside the target 😂

[@gohan12991]

I think if you start a company you can only do sightseeing at first but it's still a good way to earn money as you get the full contract money. I think for cargo company you need 35k credits. Not sure about the amount but cargo could be more profitable

[@CowTown]

Yeah I would've been able to grab a few of those for the company but couldn't afford the planes haha so that'll come down the road!

[@m.h.7266]

damn wish i could land that plane like you did.

[@CowTown]

I’m sure you’ll get there soon! Just keep practicing!

[@m.h.7266]

@@CowTown yea the tail ones are the hardest ones for me but working on it.

[@n9878f]

Great video. Do you know which setting gave you airspeed, altitude, airspeed etc… in the cockpit view at the bottom? Also do you or anyone know if you can remove the panel from the front view?

[@CowTown]

So happy you enjoyed it! As for where to find the setting its: Settings > General > Flight Interface > Cockpit Cam > HUD in Cockpit View (I have it set to off) and that same menu below that is External Camera if you wish to turn off the hud there (HUD in External View) And are you talking about removing the cockpit entirely? I don't believe that is an option but not 100% on that one!

[@n9878f]

Thank you so much. Very helpful

[@tipsyyfn]

Hey, my MSFS24 is stuck on unpacking at 100% and it keeps switching from unpacking to error. Would you happen to know what is causing this?

[@CowTown]

Have you fully uninstalled and reinstalled the sim? If not I'd definitely start there and see if that'll help you get through the load process!

[@Feintgames]

Nice. I'm stuck on the first career mission where he tells me to fly straight and level forever. So I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just create a new character and see if I can restart.

[@CowTown]

Hope you can get through that!

[@BloodSteyn]

19:10 no worries, it's a rental.

[@CowTown]

Haha no wonder he wasn't too worried about it 😉

[@dma.amd077]

Thanks for the video Is it safe to buy this game yet?

[@CowTown]

You are very welcome! For me getting closer to 20 hours in the sim I am loving it. Minus a few bugs here and there (nothing major that ruins the experience) it’s been fantastic!

[@MasterCamus]

Can you configure the game to play with the joystick plus keyboard?

[@CowTown]

Do you mean having the stick and then keyboard having keybinds and so forth? If so, then yes!

[@MasterCamus]

@ yep. Thanks mate

[@PalladiumRobotics]

So was trying the heli sar missions but accidentally failed the second mission now the whole mission disappeared! Anyone know how i can redo the mission?

[@starzgarden5553]

Is there an option to turn off the blue waymarkers? Kills immersion

[@artfckt1483]

Yes there is!

[@CowTown]

Yup, it'll be turned off for future videos.

[@Superbia187]

What peripherals do you use to fly?

[@CowTown]

I use the Thrustmaster Hotas One! :)

[@prisonmike9186]

I can’t even do missions due to server issues so I’m left with to watch others play

[@CowTown]

Odd, haven't had any issues server related since launch day. Have you tried reinstalling your sim to see if that helps?

[@prisonmike9186]

@ I mean I deleted it for good and reinstalled 2020

[@joshramirez7]

@@prisonmike9186 lol way to stick it out, champ.

[@crashingcalvin]

for me the plane just does a front flip so how can I make it so it doesn't when landing in this terrian?

[@CowTown]

You're wanting to make sure you coming in slow with full flaps and just pop to the ground and let the incline slow you down (and when slow pull back and apply brakes to prevent the props from striking the ground)

[@crashingcalvin]

@@CowTownWhen I am rolling on the dirt I bounce off of the terrian which makes me do a front flip

[@SparlsOfficial]

You sound like BayAreaBuggs

[@CowTown]

Haven't heard that in a while! Haha

[@pagman798]

I more like it if you crash not only the aircraft is lost but also you are dead as well, and you'll be no more allowed to play mfs and if you try the sim will crash.

[@CowTown]

That'd be something!

[@AndrewGrey22]

So you are not having any problems with this sim? All I have seen are problems with others.

[@CowTown]

Except for the server issues on day one and a few bugs here and there the experience has been pretty excellent for me!

[@jimmunro4649]

16 gig ram Ok or would 32 help it more

[@CowTown]

32 would definitely be helpful! 🙂

[@Skaska]

Cant start any missions except those with Cessna 172

[@CowTown]

I would recommend a reinstall of the Sim. Haven't had any issues loading into any of the missions in career as of yet.

[@Skaska]

@@CowTown Thank you. I will give the resintall a try

[@Skaska]

@@CowTown reinstall didnt work either. Strange

[@CowTown]

That is odd, not sure what would be causing that to happen. I'd pop over to flightsimulator.zendesk.com and see if they're going to be able to give you some help!

[@mauriziodalessandro6227]

How do you get to this mission in FS2024 menu?

In Career mode (you have progress through the other missions to unlock this) you'll find that in the Specialization Menu! 🙂

You should speed up the video I feel like you are showing parts that shouldn’t be in it.

I mean I left in a lot of the search part of the adventure as I wanted to showcase that it isn’t just a show up, find it in 5 seconds, and it’s over.
