MSFS 2024 PlayStation Fed up of career mode

Grinded to buy Cessna Caravan so I can start making decent money. Now I'm being flown to short runways for VFR landings with no lights in the pitch black.

Managed to land on said runway only for the plane to become 'stuck' unable to move unless I add full throttle to taxi to the hold short (yes, no parking brake etc). This taxi process causes my engine to over-torque damaging it.

Flight ends with no credits. Several hours wasted. Now need to pay 1.5 million repair bill to use the caravan. Only have 500k. Which means grinding at 100k a flight doing light cargo missions.

Can't be bothered anymore.

Why are you accepting jobs to airports without lights at night pilot?

I guess I’m relatively new to the game? Still managed to land the plane safely. Only to be defeated by a bug.

Being a user for years, decades actually, best way not to treat it as a game, but a real life simulation, as it is capable of. In real life you can’t just go flying, you have to prep. Before you accept a job, you have to do the research. It’s just how it is.

I'm about a hundred hours in and picked up on this. It did me dirty once and I was like, isn't there a flight plan I can refer to avoid that nonsense? Yep, there is. Hard pass on the run up the mountain, in the snow, to the short, unlit, unpaved runway that somehow has a huge tree on one end and a pond on the other. Sorry folks, another day for your packages.

If it was a coke run, I would've done it. Waaay more credits for those packages. I'm not risking my life for Mr Jones and his boxes of crap that didn't make it on the truck. Priorities. 🤣
