Missions, anyone?

[Joe]

Is anyone else doing these? They're a hoot. The aircraft carrier landing is TOUGH! (As it should be)

I've done almost all the Beginner ones. I never got the thermals to work, so I never could complete the soaring ones.

The first Intermediate one is flying the helicopter through a virtual course. It starts out easy then gets really hard (for someone who never flew the copter any, at least).

TIP: You CAN save Mission flights part-way through so you don't have to start from the beginning every time. I don't know if you get the reward if you complete the Mission this way.

You save the flight just as you would any other flight. And like any other flight, this saves some files in your Flightsim X Files directory (usually in your documents folder). One of these will be an .FSSAVE file. Double-clicking the file will open flightsim to the point where you saved that flight.

E.g., I saved the carrier landing tutorial about halfway thru the downwind leg and put a shortcut to it (particularly, its FSSAVE file) on my desktop.

I've done only some of the simpler ones so far. Some are easy, but I couldn't land on the bus!
