im just saying they are not really needed in the base game for the great majority of users imo

That probably depends on who one believes will comprise the great majority of users......

I know there are a few landing challenges, are there any missions?

Well, Asobo was advertising to hire a "Mission Specialist" months ago, so yeah, I'll be surprised if there aren't missions at release time.

Or maybe they will offer a mission/training DLC down the line. I could see myself buying those if they are decent.

I used to love the lessons in the older versions like FS2000 or even '95. I never managed to complete the checkrides though, they were so hard.

the sdk does include a misson creator, so yes i expect and hope to see lotsa free missions eventually.

not really, my point is if your new it gives you enough training to 'fly' the aircraft around confortably
if your wanting to do cids&stars you should already know the basics and should probably find a better resource than "missions" in a video game to learn them from
this is Not a Real World trianing app and it is not being sold as such

I'd like an open world RPG kind of game where you start with a small plane, or as a pilot for hire to haul around stuff and people, legal or less, and then you buy and upgrade your license up to the heavybois to haul even more contrab...ehm, legal stuff. That would be fun.

It's been a while since your wrote this so perhaps you already found what I found too: 3rd party quests and 'career mode'.

- NeoFly offers bush flying missions. Performing well gives the opportunity to raise your rank, earn (game) money, buy planes, hire pilots, etc.
- FSEconomy and OnAir are similar, but more geared to towards regular flying. 

I mostly use NeoFly as it's the easiest to get started with. If you want to be part of a community the other 2 are probably better options.

Actually agree with that. Its never really been advertised as a "learn to fly" software. It can be one of course, it can be as deep as you want it to be, wich i think, is a beautiful thing. I, for example, never do a flight without a real chart, be it vfr or ifr. But its just because i want (and can) add that layer of realism. 

There are a zillions pages of ressources to learn to fly, here, on youtube, on the web. 

 

 

These are OK ...

Thanks for the heads up, I've been using FSEconomy for a few years, I prefer free addons.

Hi. New on this forum. Sorry about renewing an old thread. I've taken a few flying lessons some years ago and plan to renew learning next year, so trying with a sim for now. In this context, not only MSFS does not have enough lessons, but IMHO those that are to be found are not very instructive. They use this strange grade/score system and provide little to no feedback, so that it's hard to understand what needs to be improved.

 

That of course is a minor issue compared to the stability and performance issues I'm experiencing, but still, something that surprised me, again against the backdrop of the previous version, that, as I sent to remember, provided a much better instruction.
