Official Trailer #2 (And Release Date)

I like freeflight - I prefer it to everything yet available to us in MSFS. But making it possible to 'fly with a purpose' or as part of an 'aviation career' if handled correctly would be a wonderful option.
A good question at this point might be - How has ATC been changed or augmented to support these career missions/packs? I'd love to hear the comms on just one of these examples from the video.

If I can ever find my tin can again, I'm thinking about putting FS9 back on just to be able to fly the heavy stuff again without having to spend a half-hour on mandatory startup procedures. I know the stock FS9 747 was dumbed way down, but it was still fun to slog it around the checkerboard approach at Kai Tak!

What prevents you from doing so in MSFS2020 ?
If you load the default 747 in the air or on the runway, it's loaded ON and ready to fly, right ? No need for any startup stuff.
 
Last time I tried to do anything with the 747, I couldn't even get the AP to follow a heading. The plane was just too buggy. Of course, that was only a month or two after the initial launch, so maybe the plane has been fixed by now. At any rate, I've come to enjoy the GA element quite a lot now, and most of my payware addons are either GA or regional transport. The biggest thing I have is the Shorts 360, but I don't fly it much. It's overkill for most of the mission scenarios I come up with in my head, like when the owner of the Sunset Bar next to TNCM runs low on a certain product made from fermented sugar cane and calls me up to bring some in from San Juan or the USVI, depending on which variety he needs.
