• 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.

Aircraft selection prior to mission start

I have written a small tool that lets you select any aircraft installed on your specific Flight Simulator installation prior to start the mission.
That was not a big deal. For future use it will classify aircraft into "groups" accordingly to the original missions intention.
E.G. if a Cessna 208B was selcted it could be also any other aircraft of the samne class. Still working on such classification properties.

Nevertheless this shall not be the point of this post. Once released such tools are spread around quite fast.

The plus is that a user can use his prefered airplane. In most cases cmmercial add ons.


In general, you as a mission developer, would you be happy with such a tool concerning your customers or users?
 
Does this modify the flight file?

If so, please be sure to make a backup. In addition, warn users that modifying multiplayer missions will cause the mission to become incompatible and no longer allow the user to join or host that particular multiplayer mission with others. Flight Simulator has this as an anti-cheat precaution.

However, in my personal opinion, the default solution of checking "allow changes in the selected mission" (or whatever the checkbox up top is), then changing the aircraft in flight should be sufficient.
