Creating Missions for Multiplayer

**Aubinator** · 03-09-2011, 10:04 PM

I can add new aircraft, panels, sounds, tweak their config files to add new FX etc etc... but what I am a complete NEWB at is mission creation...

A couple of people were wanting to get together for a LAN party and fly around. I wanted to create a couple of missions (like a Search & Rescue Mission) where everything was already pre-set, and we didn't have to fake it. Something even as simple as flying within a certain distance/altitude over the target and 'completing' the mission.

I would also like moving targets too... trying to identify a single ship in a group of random tanker/liner/cargo ships to counter illegal smugglers... or something of that nature...

But, where do I start? What program do I need? How long will this take?

You need the SDK for FSX, which is included in the Delux and Gold versions. You will also need to get SP 1 and 2 for the SDK. The mission creator is in the SDK

I couldn't get the service packs to run. They all kept pinging back at me stating I needed a previous update first. Is there a solid link I can follow to all the updates for FSX?

The M$oft Site was less than helpful!

It might help if we knew: what version of FSX you are trying to update(RTM, Deluxe, Gold), where it is installed(C:\...\etc), and what Windows Version and bit depth.
Also the exact verbage of message(s) might provide some insight...Don

FSX Deluxe + Acceleration
WinXP (latest SP)
Default directory

Disregard Last: I misread the error. I needed to install the original FSX SDK before installing the Acceleration version... my bad!
