Wyatt 0 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've been creating flights in MS Note Pad, but can figure out how to create missions... Do any of you know how? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Jim Keir's FSXMissionEdditor (FSXME) is probably the best introduction to Mission building. Get it here: http://secure.simmarket.com/fsaddon-fsx-mission-editor.phtml There is a trial version. There is a support Forum at FSAddon.com, but most developers go here: http://www.flightsimulatorxmissions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index Brett and I can answer some of your queries - fire away!

brett 2,225 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Always happy to help others get started in mission building. Sometimes the hardest part is getting the OPT(ObjectPlacementTool) to show up. First hint, start with a simple mission and use FSXMissionEditor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wyatt 0 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Do you know about making missions in Visual C++? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Wyatt - are you planning to develop an alternative to the Mission Engine embedded in FSX? As you probably know, FSX Missions are coded in XML. This XML is interpreted at run-time by the FSX Mission 'de-coder'. App's like Jim Keir's FSX Mission Editor make developing Missions easier - its block-building approach produces the desired XML without the user having to 'program' in the XML code itself. You can, of course, develop your own app in Visual C++, which would possibly enable you to do a similar 'interpretation' of Mission logic. App's loke FSUIPC, InstantScenery, so forth, are examples of this approach. M.S. no longer supports ESP (don't know what this stands for!), which was a commercially available visual simulation platform very similar to the flight sim app's such as FS9/ FSX, etc. M.S. sold the rights for ESP to Lockheed-Martin, who now offer it, under license as Prepar3D (P3D). This has a Mission Engine, but I'm not sure if this is XML based like FSX. There - the world's your oyster - if you're a VIsual C++ guru, that is. Cheers - Dai. .

Wyatt 0 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thank you Dai, I was looking at ESP but couldn't find the download for it on the Microsoft website. I know why it is not there now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,225 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Not sure why this was never answered, the manual can be found here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Guess you had ESP all along, Brett!! Cheers - Dai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
