Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's career mode is buggy and frustrating and I can't stop playing it

Flight sim.

I'm a certified pilot, which in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 means I've completed just enough training to squeak past my exams with a "C" grade, I sorta understand what trim does, and I usually bounce my planes and choppers a few times while landing them. And as much as I'm enjoying free flight and activities like landmark visits and animal photography, I'm really only about one thing when it comes to MSFS 2024: career mode.

Career mode is the reason I've played 40 hours of MSFS over the past couple weeks. It's also the reason I've been stressed and unhappy over the past couple of weeks. It all comes down to one thing, by which I mean a whole bunch of things: bugs. Career mode is so, so buggy. But as angry and tense and irritable as it makes me, I just can't stop playing.
