Are Aerocaches, Challanges and Missions confirmed?

Featured Replies

Aero caches, missions, and challenges were very popular in Flight so I really hope we have them in MSFS too. The code already exists and I don't think it would be a huge problem to include it. 

Thank you.

I agree! And since this is going to be most popular Flight sim game created by Microsoft whole Community could help this game to get more and more content.

If you guys haven't played Flight long time already, here is one of the Flight's missions I found on YT. Similar missions like this can be included in new game.

BTW, do you guys know which VAN's RV model will be in MSFS 2020? RV-6?

Adding missions shouldn't be taken for granted @LHookins. Microsoft need to include this in there SDK before third party developers can add missions. This is a new simulator. I would find it hard to believe Microsoft releasing a Microsoft Flight Simulator without mission support but if the base product doesn't have any missions or tutorials then it might be difficult to include this in the SDK.

I wasn't talking about third party developers.  I was talking about a separate team within Microsoft outside the core team that is creating the sim.

What is the difference between the documentation and tools this team would be using and the documentation and tools a third party developer would be using to do the same thing?

A perfect example of what was and what could have been. I have done this one a number of times and it is not easy. most people never gave FLIGHT a fair chance. I have over 500 hours in FLIGHT and had a lot of fun. Still go back to it frequently. 

Sometimes I think that probably the only features that could bring my attention back to civil simming from pretty much only War Thunder these days, with a bit of IL-2 too, would be those aerocache and other missions, as well as maybe a well designed ATC robot.

Playing being a pilot, experiencing adverse weather, doing IFR, and even less following SOPs is far from being my beach these days... and that's why I'm excited, but at the same time so "cold" about this new great version of MSFS - I have my toy and it's so far giving me at least as much joy as I got from MS FLIGHT, and could never get from FSX or P3D, X-Plane ( even less ), DCS or even IL-2...

I really would like to see some sort of that "activities" structure put into MICROSOFT FLIGHT 🙂, meaning the Aerocaches and Missions and Challenges, not combat!
