In this case, I essentially just want 1 AI aircraft, to follow a loop of coordinates (about 12), no takeoff or landing, and enough to where I can fly along in formation. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why nobody has figured out how to do this in FSX yet? I'm using FSX:SE, so the default mission editor SDK will not work (which I've heard it's not very good anyway). I've tried FSX Mission Editor 2, but the documentation on it is lacking, and I can't find anybody who has tried to make an AI aircraft follow a set of waypoints, or even uploaded a screenshot of their setup for it. I've tried AI Flight Planner (AIFP), but that seems to not be much help (just the same A-B airport planning). I have also heard that you can make fake floating airports with runways enroute so your aircraft do something that resembles making a waypoint, but I have concerns of how good this works, and also how to set it up (I wasn't able to find a concise tutorial about that either).

Am I trying to do something that just isn't possible? Is there a way to just have an AI aircraft follow waypoints at all, in any way, shape, or form? 

I'm new to this forum, so I'll introduce myself first:

My name is Jörg (aka andi20) and I live in Switzerland.

I've been using flight simulators since Microsoft FS1 for C64, back then with an exhilaratingly fast 2 frames per second. Since then I have probably used all versions of the flight simulator up to and including FSX. Microsoft stopped the development and sold the Flusi to P3d, so I have been using this simulator since P3dV4.

In FSX there were many interesting missions.
In P3D missions (Scenarios) are called, unfortunately there are only few Scenarios.
That's why I started to create my own missions for myself.

Since 2018 I create missions (Scenarios) for Prepar3D and since 2019 I provide my (German language) missions to the public for free.
Meanwhile there are over 30 missions, which are compatible with P3dV4, P3dV5 and P3dV6.

I have tried to craft varied missions:
- Sometimes you are a supplier for a dubious boss...
- Sometimes you do a sightseeing flight in NewYork, or rather a time race?
- Comfortable sightseeing flight in Scotland (maybe you see Nessi?)
- How about a gliding flight in the Swiss Alps?

Since I don't speak English, my missions were only available in German so far.
In the meantime there is a very good automatic translator, so I am translating all missions into English right now.
In the meantime 19 missions are translated.

The installation is as simple as it is safe:

Copy the files (Flight.fxml, Flight.pln, Flight.wx, Flight.xml and the Folder Flight) of a mission into the P3D storage directory:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files (you have to replace USERNAME with your individual name).

Uninstallation : Delete the corresponding files again and everything is removed without leaving any residues.

If you are interested, you can download it here:

Have fun

I am encountering a problem with Edit Voicepack X .

I run FSX and i recently created my new airline. 

After completing successfully , the new entry, by creating a new airline in Editvoicepack X , i experience a problem

When i talk to ATC , only the flight number is appeared and heard , though the ATC recognises my airline and tells it correctly. 

What can i do, so that, when i talk to ATC my airline will be included ? 

Thanks in advance for your Responses!!

Basicly enjoyable about new addons and I tried some. 1'st ( "Queenstownfishermansrecue") works well--nice!😊

Others like "Carcassretieval", "Seaplancrash", "Prisonerevacation"....starts only as freefligt--no compass, commets, objects.

No idea about differece zu those! In readme's emailadress is shown (helo.missioman@nym.hush.com) to get answers---

---but doesn't work--maildomain!😞

Has anyone tried such missions? Using FSX many years and often came bugs by downloads--most errors are missing objects

in XML-files but cannot find any. Hope for helpfully repies, thanks!

..

I can taxi, takeoff, fly land....but on touchdown no nosewheel steering.  Looking externally, it appears the nosewheels are just slightly below the runway. The only way to regain control is enter slew mode, just a quick tap of the Y key and the nosewheels bounce back up and all good again. 

P3Dv5, ActiveSky, FSDT,AIG, RFN, and SWS Carriers active, all software, drivers and OS updated and current  Removed all and added them back one at a time, no difference. No errors generated or log

Ideas? 

I am currently testing the missions and hope to release these files here in May 2021

Have been doing flight planning with the default P3d V4.5 flight planner.

I set up a plan using the PMDG 738NGXU, from Honolulu - Van Nuys. The default High Alt. route gave me a GS of 1065kts., a fuel burn of 18,540 Gal., and a 2:06 flight time.

I realize the PMDG a/c are good, but not that good! ( sarcasm included 🙂 )  I've noticed this with many other a/c too. FSX usually didn't have this problem.

Is this a bug with P3d? How am I supposed to figure a fuel load when it's like this?  Is there a fix for this?  I don't want to use a 3rd party flight planner if I don' have to.

Any help would be appreciated.

seems to be "no" or "not without a lot of work"....

Does anyone know of a quick and efficient 

way (or program) to convert old FSX flight plans

to P3D?...my current version of Plan 3G does not

recognize the old ".FLT" files...

Any help appreciated...

Thanks, John H.

My goal is to complete the entire Appalachian Trail Adventure, most likely before I actual finish hiking the entire trail.

I am looking for your help.

If you have downloaded any of these missions and are unable to run it. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I am an armature and make these mission as a hobby.

I have Windows 7 and FSX Professional version on my computer.

I have flown and completed these mission on my computer before I uploading the mission to AVSIM for other to enjoy.

The key word here is "enjoy"

If you cannot run the mission then you can not enjoy it.

Please be patient with me as I do make mistakes when putting the files into a folder to be uploaded.

I sometime make changes while flying the mission and sometime forget to copy these changes to the upload folder.

I currently am having problems with the Maine Mission. I have a use who cannot get it run and therefore is not enjoying this mission.

He sent me an email me to let me know that the mission is not working due to a flight plan that some how ended up in the mission flt file.

This is a flight plan that I made during the mission and some got into the mission folder. The flight plan of course is in my computer and not uploaded to the upload folder. This was not planned on my part for the mission to have a flight plan. I was able to remove the flight plan from the mission flt file and from my computer. The mission loads for me without the flight plan so I email the use a copy of the new flt file to replace the one in his mission folder. He still had no joy.

I am not happy with this as I do not want others not to enjoy these missions.

As of this date I am still working on a solution. I will needed to completely remove all file related to these mission from my computer and reinstall the Maine mission from AVISM to find the error.

So you ask, why do I need your help.

Well if you have flown these missions, please let me know;

What system are you using?

What version are you using?

Did it start up okay?

Was anything missing in the mission?

Where you able to complete the mission?

Did you get a reward at the end of the mission?

If your mission is not starting properly. PLEASE EMAIL ME. ASAP.

The sooner I know of a problem the sooner I can fix it.

If a fix is required, I will upload either with the next mission upload or with a fix upload if requested.

Thank You

Dave

Is there anybody in this Forum who can assist me in solving a problem with APU?

When I startup a Cold & Dark situation and turn on the battery and then the APU, within 5 minutes

the APU is shutting down by itself... 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Is it possible to load such a circuit in the  PMDG 737 FMS?  Any tips are welcome.

Thanks in advance

I will be working on each state the trail goes through. I started the missions in Connecticut, my home state, and the first state me and my wife hiked.

We have been hiking the Appalachian Trail since 2006 (we are 56 years old) and section hike the trail during my vacations. We have finished everything from Pennsylvania to Maine.

As of this writing this I have completed this adventure from Connecticut to my newest release, New Hampshire.

When the Maine mission is released around the end of August or September (dependent on how time I have to work on it), I will be picking up the missions starting with New York heading north on the trail and continue south until Georgia, the completion of these missions. Although it may not be the completion of our hiking the entire trail.

I had released two versions; A auto- install and a manual install (MI). A virus had got into my computer and I lost the Auto install program. I did not realize that the program that I had downloaded was a registered version and that it required a password to unlock. (I lost the password) As a result the auto install versions of my mission is not registered and will not install the mission on your computer. I have asked avsim to delete these uploads from their library, I now only upload one version, the manual installation one.

Please post and comments or problems here or send me an e-mail. I will try to fix the problem as fast as I can.

I am not perfect and I will make mistakes. I fly the mission after completing it on my computer but sometimes I may not transfer all the files correctly to the upload folder as I am working on it and making changes to the mission during the testing process. Please be patient with me.

Thank you

When I take a screen Capture, "V", it only seems to capture the main viewing screen.  If I have alternate views defined, I can not seemed to find nor figure out what I can do to capture those images.  Is it possible with P3D?  If not, are there alternate solutions to my issue?

I am currently running two monitors, and I have a View Group Defined (within View Group Management) that spans the "main view" across both of my monitors.  I love that!  But when I take a screen capture only the content of monitor 1 is captured.  I would love to get the contents of both monitors in my screen shots.  Or if I create a new view, is it possible to screen capture those images?  I know about screen stretching and that does work, but  the images are highly distorted for my tastes.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

In readme-text only the authors are shown--not easy to find needed addons.

This is much better by other authors.

Thankfully someone sent me an email to let me know that the he did not get a reward at the end of the mission.

These items have just been uploaded.

Please let me know of any problems with these missions.

Thank You

Dave

but mission starts only as freefligt--no comments. In XML-file I missed EH101 as OBJECT-entry--can it work anyway?

Folder-renaming---no way. I tried to contact the author (*******@juno.com)---also maildomain!

No idea about difference to other addons.

I had earlier installed the Prepar3D SDK v1.4, as I wanted to have the ImageTool. Located in its \docs\Mission Creation Kit\ folder is a "Mission Creation.html" doc that has instructions and illustration that match the Object Placement tool I have installed. So it looks like what I have at least aligns with what was included in the early edition of the Prepar3D SDK.

So I'm wondering if the Mission Creation wizard was something that was phased out for the later editions of FSX?
Or is it still usable for FSX:SE and available for download on some website?
