FSX Mission Fun

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Here is a film I have just made of the Pilatus PC 12 approaching and landing at Innsbruck.
http://youtu.be/Lp0BaSu9yEU

The thing here, you will notice, is its the "Innsbruck" mission from FSX!  How to add any aircraft of your choice to fly in any of the missions is easy:-

1. Go to the missions folder in FSX.
2. Select the mission you want to edit
3. Go to the .flt file and open this with a notepad editor. I would always use Notepad++.
4. Scroll down to line 298. Locate the aircraft used. ( 298 in the Innsbruck file)
5. Copy and paste the aircraft you want to use in the mission, from your Aircraft.cfg. Use the title of the aircraft to replace whats there. ( eg title = F1_Pilatus_PC-12 exec  to replace the Baron in the Innsbruck mission)
6. Save it and there you are.

This way you can fly the FSX missions that we all have flown, with your choice of aircraft.
Same applies with the lessons and checkrides. Just edit the .flt file.

 It will allow you to practice some of the flights using different aircraft

Regards
Herky.

PS. I am trying to make videos that are "different"? ie not like 3 minute "toothpaste" ads or hour long " How to program the FMC and become a real airline pilot" that is the current fad
Hence the FSX "Missions" idea.

Its not that easy and when the Recorder starts to display instrument readings that are not there in the original flight, its disconcerting. Aw well, its fun anyway

	BigTex, now you can fly the Innsbruck mission in the NGX, not to mention all the ATP Checkrides, with the female examiner telling you you failed because you did not do what she told you to do If you record it, watch for the FS Recorder messin' up your panels ShrewsburyFC, well...I subscribed to a couple of You Tube film makers, one is a German 1st officer on a RW 737, doing 737 tutorials, with lots of commentary. The other is from the US who has a MD 11 series with all mod cons on the film....FS2Crew, Radar Contact, Scenery...........Different accents, different ways of filming, so I thought I would 'ave a go If one can keep FSX up and stable with all these add ons? Cheers Chaps Happy simming Regards Herky.
