I have Wiley-reuse-Approval, from Wiley Global Permissions, and the author Jeff Van West, to repackage and redistribute the material from the Wiley Web Site, with a more user friendly interface that is easier for people, new to flying and new to FSX. I am doing this because I love the book and I am using it myself every day, learning to fly. Going back and forth between different chapter exercises, I got tired of browsing through thousands of files for the right flight files, the right maps and the right pictures, the right Airport diagrams. With just a click of the mouse I now have access to this without leaving the FSX Environment. I wanted to have access to the charts through the kneeboard, or find easily where the description of a particular flight exercises is located in the book. I can go back and forth between Mission with just another click of the mouse. I did it for my own use and I am willing to share it freely with anyone interested, probably mostly people new to flying, and who are using the book to learn. I believe it is still the best book to learn to fly using FSX. I would be very much interested by your feedback on the FSX environment I have created. You still need the book to learn to fly but the material for the exercises is easily accessible in a user friendly environment : FSX Mission.

Would like to know if anyone is interested in a Missions Package (over 100) that has been integrated into FSX as a new Mission Category : Real World Training. The first version provides the initial state of the flight exercises in the book : FSX for Pilots - Real World Training, Jeff Van West, Wiley. For the first version, even though the Flight Briefing, provides a description of what the exercises are, if you are learning to fly, you would need the book to fully understand the why and the how of the exercice. If there are enough interest, I might start implementing, Flying Test and Rewards, pertinent to each Mission. One way to enhance the experience is using, FSFlyingSchool as your instructor. Since a good portion of the missions include flight plan, FSFlyingSchool has better chance to understand what you are trying to do and provide pertinent feedback.

Thanks for the quick answer. The suggestion is fine to get the "Flight Planner" and the "Fuel and Payload", but I still can't access the "Flight Video", under the Option Menu. I thought adding : " AllowFlightVideoInMissions=1" in the [uSERINTERFACE] section of the fsx.cfg file would do the trick, but no. I got it working somehow, by playing around, in one of the Mission, but I can't figure out what is the difference between that one and the over 100+ others that I created and where the option is greyed out ?

Iam looking for the documentation describing all the possible entriesin the fsx.cfg file. In particular the [uSERINTERFACE] section. Within a Mission some of the sub-Menu are not active by default. I need the entry to activate, the “Fuel and Payload” sub-Menu, underAircraft. Iwas able to activate the “Flight Video” , under Options, byadding: AllowFlightVideoInMissions=1 to the [uSERINTERFACE] section I was also able to activate the "Flight Planner" sub-Menu, by selecting “Enable changes in selected Mission(no rewards given)" on the Mission Panel. If someone could point me to the documentation for the FSX.CFG file entries and the the different XML Tag used for describing the Mission.xml file, I would be very grateful
