• 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.

I'm new to missions, and I've probably been making many beginner mistakes as I try to understand this thing.

My initial goal is to make a simple scenic approach with contextual voice prompts. The closest example I can find is 'Sitka Approach' in the 40th Anniversary Edition missions.

I notice that Asobo has written that the Script Editor is not working, and that it's not advisable to use it.

In order to learn how to code the .XML mission scripts, I obtained the 'Simple Mission' template here on FSDeveloper, and I also used the MSFS_Simprop_Decompiler to learn from the Sitka mission.

I then set up the correct directory structure, and make sure that the .FLT correctly references the .XML location. I use Build All, and I find the mission is now available for me to test in Activities>Custom Content.

However, in 'Simple Mission', none of the initial 'fromspawn' flowstates will ever activate, and so it seems the script never actually starts.

In 'Sitka', I try to rebuild the decompiled XML (making sure that the asset group names, folder names, etc, are the same) but I get a variety of different warnings or errors in the console (edit: or CTD), and the mission is never made available for me to test.

I conclude, then, that Sitka was compiled in a different version of the Project Manager, or maybe in a different system entirely. Or that I simply don't know what I'm doing!

Do missions even work at the moment?!

I notice online that people only seem to be posting Bush Trips and Landing Challenges. Does anything else work at all?!

If I'm doing something blatantly wrong, I hope you can kindly point me in the right direction...

Thanks.
