Ideal Flight: how do missions work?

Yes flight times are very important. Try the Floro departure there are lots around there, nice place too.

 

I've got the map working here so I can see what navsites are around, I'll make it available soon. More airports = less mission sites. During the indexing the program finds navsites miles away from any airport. There is a setting in Config.ini MinOtherLocationDistance=15.0

 

Edit2: I see you added to your 2nd paragraph. Not sure how I can go about finding navsites and more info on that config setting would be helpful since I have no clue what it means.

 

Ok switch to Floro and yes, I got a bunch with Duration set 1hr/2hr.

I question how your mission planner works then. KHWD has tons of airports and water around yet it can't find hardly any locations suitable for a mission?!!

 

Edit: Here I set KHWD to Duration of 4hr/8hr and still only get 3 missions??

Maint mission is just visit a VOR site remote to airports and land there, then generate a return flight and come back. Pretend you went into the VOR building and resoldered something really complicated with valves and now it works :ph34r: . Then you went home.

 

 

So I did the PYE Maintenance Mission. IF listed it as a Free Flight.

PYE is located in the middle of a forest and there is no place to land. Does one need to land? Is IF suppose to have a pop up a msg or confirmation of some sort once the VOR is reached? I saw nothing of the sort.

That's right, if you cannot land you can find somewhere to land farther away it will always be called a "Landing Site". You can go back and choose the deforestation mission (only joking). Some locations nearby the shoreline are under water so cannot land there either. Try the Floro Gulfax mission there are a load of oil rigs out in the North sea. With the sea searches you get a message says you've seen the ship.
