This guide will go over the process of creating a mission with the [https://flightsim.to/file/23934/mission-creation-resources SimpleMission sample project].
{{:Transclusion_MSFS_Mission_Script}}

== Step 1: Download the [https://flightsim.to/file/23934/mission-creation-resources SimpleMission project] ==
Unpack the .zip. Rename the <code>SimpleMission</code> folder and main <code>.xml</code> to your mission name.

In <code>PackageSources/Missions</code>, rename the <code>SimpleMission</code> folder your mission name.

== Step 2: Open the project in MSFS DevMode ==
Change company name and package name. Click <code>Update package name</code>.

Change Title and Creator.

Edit SimpleMission asset group:
* Change name to your mission name.
* Point AssetDir to the renamed folder in <code>PackageSources/Missions</code>.
* For the OutputDir, change <code>YourName</code> to your company name and <code>SimpleMission</code> to your mission name.

Save the project.

== Step 3: Open the project folder ==
In <code>PackageDefinitions</code> delete the <code>yourname-mission-simplemission</code> folder and <code>.xml</code> file.

In <code>PackageSources\Missions\YourMissionName</code>:
* Rename the files with ''SimpleMission'' in the name to your mission name (don't forget the images).
* Delete the <code>.PLN</code> and <code>.WPR</code> files and replace them with the ones you created for your mission.
* Edit the <code>.FLT</code> you created [[Flight_file_(MSFS)#Creating_your_flight_file|like this]]. You can use the old .FLT as a reference.
* Edit the <code>.loc</code> with [[MSFSLocalizer]]. Change all the [[GUID|GUID's]] and editing data.
* Edit the <code>.xml</code> in Notepad++:
** Change the document id, Title, and Filename.
** In <code>SimMission.FlowStateAction</code>, for <code>TeleportActions</code>, delete either <code>RTC_Flying_Aircraft_Intro</code> or <code>RTC_Ground_Airport_Aircraft_Intro</code>, depending on which one you will use.
** You can change <code>SimMission.MissionFreeFlight</code> to a different [[MSFS_Mission_Script_-_Mission_objects#Defining_the_mission_type|mission type]] (for example change <code>SimMission.MissionFreeFlight</code> to <code>SimMission.Tutorial</code>):

!Mission type
!Comment
|-
!MissionFreeFlight
|The mission type used for freeflight is the freest (e.g., allows increasing sim speed), but doesn't have a nice endscreen (just the logbook).
|-
!Tutorial
|This mission type has an endscreen to evaluate mission performance.
|-
!MissionBushTrip
|This mission type allows you to make a mission with multiple legs. If you use this mission type, the sim autosaves mission (currently a bit broken). This mission type also has flight legs and a variable that tracks if it was completed without assistance.
|-
!MissionLandingChallenge
|This mission type is used for landing challenges. It has an endscreen that displays the score. It also has a landingzone with a [[World_position_(MSFS)|location]], heading, width, and length.
|-
!MissionDiscovery
|This mission type is used for discovery flights.

== Step 4: Building the mission ==
Now you are ready to [[Mission_Creation_for_MSFS|start building the missions]] in the script editor.

== Step 5: Images ==
At some point, you want to take some beautiful screenshots of your mission for the widget thumbnail, briefing, loading, ending, and content manager thumbnail.
