• 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've been using Jim Keir's FSX Mission Editor (FSXME) for a number of years and find it invaluable for FSX mission development. Like many apps, however, there's quite a steep learning curve to FSXME, so I thought I'd put this basic tutorial together to help anyone who wants to get into FSX mission building and would like to get to grips with Jim's editor. Here's the link:

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and that it gives you the confidence to try FSXME for yourself. Who knows, you could be building your own FSX missions within days!

Lastly, a big Thank You to Jim Keir, who had the foresight to develop FSXME in the first place.

Cheers - Dai. :cool:
 
it seems like a wonderful tool but quite hard to master. i'm trying to create a race circuit using red bull style gates. i see that if i create a new mission, then in the 'new types' box i see 'race gate' listed. i just haven't figured out how to build a race circuit yet. can anyone give me a clue?

thanks

Hi drdavid!

Thanks, very good video tutorial!:D

@ Krispy - glad you liked it!

@ Steve - in the tutorial I try to show how to add a simple POI into a straight A to B mission. I guess you might use the same approach, but use multiple Red Bull gates instead? You'd also need a Timer, set at the startof the race (by Prox Trigger?) and to stop the Timer at the end gate (again a Prox Trigger). I'm pretty sure that you could do this with FSXME.

Cheers - Dai.
 
thx drdavid

i've just realized that the mission .xml files are in the sdk folder so i'm trying to copy a rb race mission and its xml to use as a base to make a new one

That's a good way to learn - use a similar mission to learn how to do specific actions and edit your own mission to follow suit, but with your own scenery and plot. Good Luck!

Cheers - Dai.
