Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
FSX Timer Trigger Reset Mission after a Short Period

Depending on what you need to reset, that is not so easy at all. For example goals cannot be reset after they've been set to failed or completed. For other triggers you need to make sure to disable and potentially reset them (timers) before you activate them again.
What exactly do you have in mind?

I'm developing a mission for this museum, they want to have a timelimit of 5 minutes so kids don't hog the computer 
I'm thinking of just have 5 minutes timelimit, and have a dialog play at 4:50 saying their time is up. I'm wondering how to reset the mission without making the mission fail.

How about triggering a goal on a 5 minute timer so the mission complete message comes up, then go to a camera view pointing at another identical aircraft sitting on the ground someplace? They won't do much more flying if they can't see what they are doing.

Oh, you mean really resetting the mission, with your aircraft starting at the same point again? That's impossible unfortunately. The only way you can do it is by using a small simconnect tool that reloads the mission. Or you give the user a complete or fail message and then restart the mission manually.
In any case it is a good idea to have somebody standing next to the PC to watch over it and reload the mission.

That might be a good idea, I'll think it out.
Hmm, how do you think I could make a simconnect tool like that?

No idea. 
If you're not familiar with c++ you might want to cancel the idea.

Does the kiosk mode work with missions? I wasn't aware of that.

Please, anyone, help? I really want to complete this. Perhaps give me an example of adding the missions to the cfg file.
Code:
[main]
; Use this tag to modify the lentgh of time before Kiosk will time-out (default = 15 minutes)
;FlightLength=
; Use the color and label tags to modify the appearance of the fonts used in Kiosk
TextColorRed=255
TextColorGreen=255
TextColorBlue=255
LabelFontName=MS Shell Dialog
LabelFontSize=16
LabelFontBold=0
LabelFontItalic=0
; Use this tag to identify a special background image you wish to use with Kiosk
BackgroundImage=\bkg.bmp
[Missions]
; Use this tag to identify a full path diretory from which to load your unique missions
Folder=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Missions\museummission
; Use this tag to identify the max number of missions you will allow to be loaded (default = 50)
;MaxMissions=
; This list is used to identify the individual missions you want to load. To add more missions,
; simply add another "file.n" to the list, and then put the name of the mission (with the .flt extention)
; to load it.
file.0=landingintobuffalopound.flt

I can't seem to do it.
What am I doing wrong? I am really frustrated at this point.
