Chapter B

Mission creation - Overview

One of my best experiences in X-Plane was during a test flight in the Meiringen LSMM (Switzerland) area. I was working on the swiss scenery and flew with my Antonov AN-4 Colt (THC 008, "Water Pipe" towards Riedernalp. Suddenly I found myself approaching a mountain lake. The landing on and TO from the lake was very exciting - and I wanted to share thisflight with my friends. The question was: what do I need to tell my friends, so they can fly a very similar flight?

From talks with other mission creators, it became evident that the easiest and most straight forward way to create mission starts with your fantasy... get an idea about a plot for your mission.

Then, prepare the scenery the mission is going to happen in, and fix a hypothetical/expected flight route.

Now you are almost done, if you want to create a simple mission only. Add some documentation and prepare the mission package for download.

If you want to make the mission "Hektor ready", then you add audio files, add dynamic weather changes and/or geoTriggers as explained in the respective chapters.
