Missions <==> SimConnect?

[ahuimanu 50]

I've seen some posts implying that these two can be programmatically tied. If this is so, which I hope it is, can someone elaborate?Can I get callbacks/events in my SimConnect app? If so, I can influence the mission directly based on my response to these events/callbacks?Further, if this is the case, can I essentially run a mission via SimConnect?I won't have the SDKs until Oct 17 (or thereabouts), so I am hoping someone in the know (ACES team member or knowledgable beta tester) might shed light.Thanks(I am so excited about the possibilities in the new tools).

That means that you can extend a mission to interact with a third party exe or dll, and have the add-on program pretty much return triggers to the mission. I think there may be more in the pipe, but that's certainly a good start.There's actually an example in the SDK that subscribes to a certain event (completing a mission action) and when that happens, fires off a pair of custom mission events.Or, an xml file full of actions and triggers, but they are only activated by a random call in the program. So you run the mission five times, and it's a bit different each time.Best of all, it means things like FSPassengers will be able to tie into the mission system, and on certain events in the mission, would save to a persistant file that tracked your career progress.There's plenty of possibilities, of course, I've got this crazy thought in my head of pylon racing missions using a bit of a weird hack, but, hey, I'm a bit crazy, so it's not surprising.
