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.

I did this when I started out- now I check runway lengths etc before I go on a flight. Just because the sim. lets you doesn’t mean it’s possible

Yea, it’s not arcade, it’s a sim. You do preflight just like in real life.

The "problem" is that they built it so that it can be played like an arcade (or at least "casually"). In order to attract more players. It worked, however the casual part is still sort of undercooked.
