MSFS2024 | Career Mode Passive Income | Deep Dive

[@bailey.nt86]

I love how yesterday all the vip missions in career mode disappeared for all players. Right on the holiday when everyone wants and has a chance to play. 😂

[@LiamB-p5b]

Literally saved up and bought the Cirrus Vision the day before and now can’t fly a mission!

[@star_man0941]

same with me i have no mission's

[@d0g0k]

lol glad to see I’m not the only one. Was right in the mood to get some money in. So luckily because I had some money I did some licences

[@mikeys4u]

Saw 5 VIP flights, thought, will go to bed - do tomorrow, never saw them again, thought it was me....instead have 500+ skydiving missions lol

[@leedonaldson1588]

Thank you for sharing! Hoping for some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I tknow the seedphrase. (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action)..Could you suggest how can I sharing moving them to sending them?

[@poztin]

I have so many issues with this game... missions now disappearing and not regenerating is the new one... but when its working i absolutely love this game. Thankyou for any tips you can give to succeed at this game. Great video !

[@shepard77]

Thank you for your kind words, I'll keep them coming. It's a very fun game indeed, in a addition to being a great sim!

[@mikeys4u]

I flew with the pilot outside the air plane underneath the fuselage. Are there new seats I don't know about.......

[@Belfran]

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. FSEconomy has the same approach and smaller birds take the cake so, I guess Asobo's goal is clear.

As the saying goes, to make a small fortune in aviation, you start with a large fortune!

[@davidfuller5631]

On Xbox it's so glitchy game has now lost all vip missions and some planes load in with gear up, or at full throttle with no breaks, or landing in the taxi area. I've still put in countless hours and on level 200+.

[@VAT_Pilot530]

PC lost all VIP missions as well

[@mmercato7174]

Thank you man. Good Tips !

[@shepard77]

My pleasure!

[@BiGG_X]

Damn... Im doing it all wrong. Time to get my helicopter licence. I almost have enough cash to get the PC12 but I think I might change that plan now just for cash flow.

[@todayisagoodday5027]

If you fly the pc 12 yourself you'll make a lot more money. So you can use that as active income to purchase the smaller fleet. Big planes make money when you fly them.

[@shepard77]

Yup, what he said, big planes for you, small planes for passive income.

[@sams2895]

Any tips for performing maintenance to a large fleet? I am running a sightseeing company with ~500 CTSLs. Everyday the fleet gets 25% larger, which is good. Yesterday I earned 40M+. However, it is increasingly a nightmare when it comes to maintenance: cannot be done without automated scripts!

[@shepard77]

Wow, that's quite a fleet... You can try UI Path studio, it can automate some tasks related to UIs in Web forms, but not sure if it helpful in game, you'd have to learn how to use it either way.

[@sams2895]

@shepard77 Gotta try!

[@leoncechrist]

Nice advice thanks

[@canyonrunner331]

Thr UTC rule is such crap. That's literally the time that I am online

[@fastbackseventyseven3553]

I have an idea.....don't play career mode full stop and save $$$ in therapy sessions. Even better don't buy MSFS 2024 at all!

[@GulfCoastTim]

Why would someone not buy it? It's the best flight sim there is even with it's imperfections. As long as you got a nice PC to run it.

[@Hartbreak1]

Does company type matters for passive income?

[@shepard77]

That's a good question, I don't believe it does. Looks like it's just a plane's type/tier - like small planes (172 etc), medium (GC or PC-12 etc), heavy (Asobo 340 etc) times the hours you were active in the freelance missions. And your passive income also diminishes the longer you fly (or lag your plane in the air :D), if you say fly 7 hours one day you get 300K~400K on 340. But if the next day you somehow end up lagging your plane in the air for 16 hours, you will only get 600K~800K passive income with that same Asobo 340. They don't want you to make too much money, since they are not ready to release heavy and super heavy missions yet.

[@Hartbreak1]

@ I see, thanks.

[@XLESS23]

Grand caravan is broken on Xbox impossible to land

[@dannyhaya]

Thxz this is realy enlighting! Started allover on 1 january but now the game is bugged en I can't get the first flight after PPL 😢😢😢😢😢😢(know bug atm)

[@connerbradley93]

Is there a place to find what each plane pays per flight hour passive?

[@shepard77]

Those numbers vary, but the averages are: small plane 80K - 120K, medium 200K-300K, heavy (like Asobo 340) - 400K - 600K. Those numbers aren't in the same margins always either. Sometimes, Cessna brings only 80K, while others 128K, all in the same 6-8 hours of Passive Income. The same applies to the bigger planes.

[@connerbradley93]

@shepard77 and it's real time flown not the flight listed time correct? As in a skipped flight would be like 15 minutes rather than the listed 7 hr flight?

[@shepard77]

@@connerbradley93 Flight listed time. I always thought that FL time was real time hours, but I am probably wrong? Considering that passive income isn't affected by the sim-rate, it has to be based on real time hours though.

[@connerbradley93]

@shepard77 its possible that its listed time i just skip the flight usually on long ones, every time I have AP setup they crash so either my game is wack of im not following the steps right.

[@shepard77]

@@connerbradley93 By flight listed time I mean your flight listed time, everything is based on how long you are flying. I am testing now either you need to be actually actively flying, or can just have a plane idling on a runway.

[@MansNotHot123]

My damn VIP missions disappeared.

[@shepard77]

Zoom in the map, wait for a few minutes and zoom out, make sure the Live slider in top right is on red.

[@MansNotHot123]

@ oh for real? I’ve been trying everything. A lot of people are having issues with VIP missions

[@shepard77]

@@MansNotHot123 That's what I've noticed: changing the map zoom causes a lot of missions to appear and disappear; I'm wondering if this is related to regional airport schedules or the overall distance of the missions. Zooming out, for example, may exclude missions for light aircraft that cannot handle such distances. When the live weather works, it also enables the live missions which are marked with a red dot. But Zoom definitely affects the number and type of missions visible on the map. You may notice it, if you carefully zoom in and out, some missions will pop in and while others will disappear.

[@MansNotHot123]

@ I did that for 5 minutes and nothing happened sadly. Just got to wait for a fix :/

[@shepard77]

@@MansNotHot123 You are right, now when I think and try myself, I don't remember when I did the VIP charter missions last time. After I switch to medium cargo, I never looked back. But yup, they are GONE.

[@rudyrobertson1540]

It would be nice if my aircraft even generated money for me. I don’t know why but all 4 generate no money at all

[@Slyphoid]

Then you fly to high in the platius and die from hypoxia

[@jessezimmer6635]

oxygen lever is on the right side, mirrors the gear lever. Works sometimes. Otherwise have ATC lower your cruise altitude.

[@shepard77]

@@jessezimmer6635 yeah it's odd, sometimes I just get the warning once, flip the oxygen switch and keep flying, other times - I die... since then, I just fly at 10-14K feet and make ATC give me those lower altitudes. Will Asobo ever fix a single plane to be normal? I don't know...
