Missions for P3dV4/5/6 in English and German

[andi20]

Hello people

I'm new to this forum, so I'll introduce myself first:

My name is Jörg (aka andi20) and I live in Switzerland.

I've been using flight simulators since Microsoft FS1 for C64, back then with an exhilaratingly fast 2 frames per second. Since then I have probably used all versions of the flight simulator up to and including FSX. Microsoft stopped the development and sold the Flusi to P3d, so I have been using this simulator since P3dV4.

In FSX there were many interesting missions.
In P3D missions (Scenarios) are called, unfortunately there are only few Scenarios.
That's why I started to create my own missions for myself.

Since 2018 I create missions (Scenarios) for Prepar3D and since 2019 I provide my (German language) missions to the public for free.
Meanwhile there are over 30 missions, which are compatible with P3dV4, P3dV5 and P3dV6.

I have tried to craft varied missions:
- Sometimes you are a supplier for a dubious boss...
- Sometimes you do a sightseeing flight in NewYork, or rather a time race?
- Comfortable sightseeing flight in Scotland (maybe you see Nessi?)
- How about a gliding flight in the Swiss Alps?

Since I don't speak English, my missions were only available in German so far.
In the meantime there is a very good automatic translator, so I am translating all missions into English right now.
In the meantime 19 missions are translated.

The installation is as simple as it is safe:

Copy the files (Flight.fxml, Flight.pln, Flight.wx, Flight.xml and the Folder Flight) of a mission into the P3D storage directory:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files (you have to replace USERNAME with your individual name).

Uninstallation : Delete the corresponding files again and everything is removed without leaving any residues.

If you are interested, you can download it here:

Have fun

Danke Schoen Jorg,

I will never create a mission, but I appreciate that you are someone who still has great faith in the future of. Fsx/P3D platforms. Most people I know who fly the same virtual airlines as do I are using X PLANE or MSFS. I have tried both, but came back to P3D each time. We have an excellent simulation and thanks to you for helping to keep interest and use alive.

if you have not done so yet, I suggest you cross post to Prepar3d.com, in the Mission Forum. I am sure you will get a welcome response.

Ich werde nie eine Mission schaffen, aber ich weiß es zu schätzen, dass Sie jemand sind, der immer noch großes Vertrauen in die Zukunft hat. Fsx/P3D-Plattformen. Die meisten Leute, die ich kenne, fliegen die gleichen virtuellen Fluggesellschaften wie ich, verwenden X PLANE oder MSFS. Ich habe beides ausprobiert, bin aber jedes Mal zu P3D zurückgekehrt. Wir haben eine ausgezeichnete Simulation und danken Ihnen, dass Sie geholfen haben, das Interesse und die Nutzung am Leben zu erhalten.

Wenn Sie dies noch nicht getan haben, schlage ich vor, dass Sie im Mission Forum auf Prepar3d.com posten. Ich bin sicher, dass Sie eine willkommene Antwort erhalten werden.

Good idea, I just did, see here:

Maybe I arouse interest with the pictures with some people...

How can we know which missions are translated into English? I downloaded a couple and both were in German. There doesn't seem to be any indication on your web page which are the 19 translated to English.

[andi20]

My site is bilingual, at the top you can switch between German and English.
German page: https://andi20.ch/p3d/index.html
English page: https://andi20.ch/p3d/indexE.html
All missions that you download from the English site are also in English!

Meine Seite ist zweisprachig, ganz oben kannst du umschalten zwischen deutsch und englisch.
Deutsche Seite: https://andi20.ch/p3d/index.html
Englische Seite: https://andi20.ch/p3d/indexE.html
Alle Missionen, welche du von der englischen Seite herunter lädst, sind auch englisch!

When I went to the German version of your site Google offered to translate page which fooled me. So, this time I clicked on top of page link to go to English version then downloaded mission 1 v5 files but contents are still in German? Here are the file links from the two pages and they look to be the same?

English mission 1 v5 link: https://andi20.ch/p3d/missionen/insellandung1/Insellandung1%202.5.zip

German mission 1 v5 link: https://andi20.ch/p3d/missionen/insellandung1/Insellandung1%202.5.zip

Am I misunderstanding? There are two language versions of the website download pages but the missions themselves are only in German?

[andi20]

The English mission has as downliadlink: https://andi20.ch/p3d/missionen/Island%20Landing1/Island%20landing1.zip
You may need to update the page.

Island Landing1 was my very first mission and not very comfortable yet.
If you don't like this mission, try a newer mission, for example Panama Canal: https://andi20.ch/p3d/missionen/PanamaCanal/PanamaCanalV2.6.zip
This one is much more interesting...

By the way, all missions are now available in English.
Have fun with the missions.

Die Englische Mission hat als Downliadlink: https://andi20.ch/p3d/missionen/Island%20Landing1/Island%20landing1.zip
Eventuell musst du die Seite aktualisieren.

Insellandung1 (Island Landing1) war übrigens meine aller erste Mission und noch nicht sehr komfortabel.
Wenn dir diese Mission nicht gefällt teste eine neuere Mission, zum Beispiel Panama Canal: https://andi20.ch/p3d/missionen/PanamaCanal/PanamaCanalV2.6.zip
Diese ist wesentlich interessanter...

Inzwischen sind übrigens alle Missionen in Englisch verfügbar.
Viel Spass mit den Missionen.

@andi20 God Bless you and thank you so much for creating all of these missions for everyone to enjoy.  I too was a mission junkie back when I used FSX and I sorely miss having many, many missions to choose from, both built in FSX and 3rd party missions.  The amount of available missions for FSX was virtually endless and yet P3Dv5 has hardly any to choose from.  Free flight gets boring after a while imo.

Hello folks

A few new missions have now gone online, for example:

-1-
Helicopter school in 2 parts.
In helicopter school part 1 you will learn how to pick up and put down the helicopter. You will also complete hover exercises in the hover square.

The mission includes detailed training documents from Bernhard.
Bernhard was a helicopter pilot on the UH 1-D (including IFR) and a flight instructor on the AL II in the German army during basic helicopter training.

The individual exercises each last 15 to 45 minutes, but you must be aware that you will need to complete around 5 hours of training to be able to master hovering to some extent.

In the helicopter school part 2 you will learn how to climb/descent at a constant speed and climb/descent rate. You will also fly curves with different bank angles. Finally, you will practice the quick stop.

After extensive training on these 2 missions, you will have mastered helicopter flight perfectly.

-2-
VOR training

1) With the Maule, flying is quite easy, thanks to the modern autopilot, 2 navigation displays and DME.

2) With the C69, flying is much more difficult because the old autopilot has only a few functions. In addition, there is only one navigation display and no DME. You have to measure the distances to be flown using a stopwatch. There is no stopwatch built into the C69, so you have to have one ready; if necessary, a cell phone with a stopwatch function will also work.

-3-
IslandAirlines
In this mission, you fly the route of the shortest airline in the world in a Ford Tri-Motor.
The route goes from Port Clinton (KPCW), to Put in Bay (3W2), then to Middle Bass East Point (2W9), to Rattlesnake (58OH), to North Bass (3X5), back to Put in Bay (3W2) and back to the departure airport Port Clinton (KPCW).

A round with 6 takeoffs and 6 landings takes around 60 minutes. Two rounds are flown in constantly changing wind and weather conditions, so you have plenty of time to get to know the plane thoroughly.

Some landings will take place in strong crosswinds, so it is helpful to be able to interpret the windsock correctly, see picture.

-4-
TicTacToeFlug
Lockheed Martin has included a "Tic-Tac-Toe Script Example" with the flight simulator.

This example is not very graphically appealing, you play against yourself (not a computer opponent) and you simply stand on the runway while playing.

That's why I wanted to find out whether you can create a Tic Tac Toe flight without scripting.

I managed to create the game as a flight and, better still, in contrast to the "Tic Tac Toe Script Demo" by Lockeed Martin, my flight also has an intelligent AI as a computer opponent.

The player has an X as a game piece, the AI a ■.

This flight - Tic Tac Toe has a special feature: you can see the game board from two sides.

From the other side, all the game pieces that have already been placed are mirror images. So after turning them over, you have to "rethink" them.

You can play with any aircraft, even the largest aircraft, the AN225, can fly through the large game board.

Gliders are also allowed, and thermals are activated if necessary.
Shown here with a green frame for clarity.

You can choose to play against simple or intelligent AI.
With the simple AI you can win, with the intelligent AI a draw is the maximum possible.

As is usual with my missions, something unexpected can happen.
In other words, I have built in an "Easter Egg" that is triggered in a certain game situation with a 50% chance.
Who will find the "Easter Egg"?

The flights are available in German and English and work with P3dV4, P3dV5 and P3dV6.

You can download the missions for free here:

Have fun.
