FSX Missions

[TX-Kingsnake]

The SDK and mission kit for fsX looks complex. Right now I am going through the tutorials and thinking about making a mission. What would it be, a training mission in a Cessna or chase OJ in a news chopper? Or a Redbull pylon race?
What would the reward for goal completion be? Maybe an armadillo?  I don't see how a multi-player coop would work for fsX. Which means racing is out.

A news chopper chasing OJ would be good--provided the news chopper could carry Hellfires and FFARs.  The reward would be to sell a book titled "If I had a newschopper with Hellfires and FFARS".TX-ScubaSteveWhite 4

Here is my first mission. Anyone want to test it? Extract the heliport folder to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Missions\Tutorials directory. When you go to missions in the game choose tutorial and choose the heliport mission.Takeoff from KSAN and land on a highrise helipad in the downtown skyline.Mission Link http://members.cox.net/messerschmitt/109/heliport.zip

Nice to see an actual third party custom "mission" there, Kingsnake.  Seems to work well, except that I could barely hear your voice-overs.  I don't know if there's something wrong with my soundcard/speaker configuration... although I can hear voiceovers just fine on the missions that came with FSX.  Speaking of having a hard time hearing voice-overs... anyone else have trouble hearing ATC?  The volume is much lower than standard mission voiceovers, and I can't find any setting that would raise ATC levels...  I suppose I could simlpy lower the volume for everything else, and turn my speakers up...TX-ScubaSteveWhite 4

I noticed the low levels of audio in the game ATC and the mission I made. I amp'ed the voice overs by %75, and it still sounds low. The helipad mission is simple. I wanted to test a basic mission before making a complex one. Its a good idea to start with something simple at first.  The next mission I am working on is a 172 flight with a preflight checklist and VOR navigation. I need to go over the flight with someone to get an opinion and tips on making it realistic.

That's pretty cool Kingsnake, I'm happy to hear that you are diving into it. . .I'm still down in SoCal, but when I get back I'll check that mission out, I'm interested in seeing it, and any help I can offer on the other mission I'm offering.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

Here is the pre-beta of a 172 instrument navigation mission. You can get a look at what I am working on. It is not complete with goals and audio. Please have a look and lets talk about it. Since I don't have the audio recorded you will need the subtitles. To get the text subtitles in fsX go to settings, general, under missions check show captioning.

Who wants to do a voice over?S!TX-Kingsnake
