• 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 Mission completed information

Hello,

I'm new here and I'm not quite sure if this is the right forum. Any advise would be appreciated.

Currently I am developing a tool to launch Missions directly without the slow FSX Startscreen.

I collect the following information:
- Title & description: FLT files
- Category, Skill-level, etc: XML files, using SPB2XML tool
- Briefing: associated HTML files

The main and most interesting part is still missing:
1) I need to know wether a mission was already completed --> Do I find that in GrantedRewards.bin? Is there any bin2xml tool?
2) I'd like to find the associated savegames. I think they are the savegames in my docs folder with FSSAVE and SPB, am I right? So I'll have to decompile all SPB files and analyze the resulting XML files to find the correct ones, or is there maybe another way?

Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Jan
 
No way that I know of to start a mission, with the brief, etc., without first starting FSX.

However, I ran into something the other day that may be the next best thing.

1. Develop a Mission.
2. Start the mission and immediately save it. Use the ; key to be quick.
3. In your saved flights folder you will now have all the nessary files, WX, FLT, a mission SPB file, etc. one of the files will be distinguished by an FSX icon. Sure enough, if you double-click it, it will start FSX and the mission.
4. Just make a shortcut to that file and put it on the desktop.

I would think that if you make the kneeboard HTML file with all the info normallly found in the brief…you would have everything you need.

Can't help with the rest.
