Thanks Missionguy for all your help, my reply will be post on the http://www.flightsimulatorxmissions.com site.you will find all the information in that post.

Sorry to be such a bother about this,I found it and changed the format of the images and now I get this picwhen it should be this pic:The bottom picutre was done by the Imagetool utility.This is the image I put into FSX Missions folder So what would cause the top one to show up in the mission area when I click on the mission I made?

I have tried to find the Imagetool Utility on line but not able to locate it. If you have a link where I can download it, I would appreciate it

Hi.....I'm new to this routine. I am trying to create my own missions in FS X. I have added the neccesary files to get the Object placement tool. now I have setup the six files that I need before I setup the metadata. I have these three files setup in the Mission Creation Tutorial folder as requestedCessna_Incomplete.jpgCessna_Complete.jpgMissionCreationTutorial.HTMLMissionCreationTutorial.wxMissionCreationTutorial.FLTI have made it to step 4 but, when I open the FSX and goto the missions area and the MissionCreationTutorial is there. When I click on it, I get the error:Unable to load image "c:porgramfiles(x86)\microsoft games\microsoft flight simulator x\missions\Mission In Progress\Creation Tutorial\Cessna_Incomplete.jpg."and when I click ok it goes to the main screen and the description of the flight is there but the picture of the flight is not there, instead there is a checkerboard. I have also checked the xml and FLT files and they are exactly as what it says in the Mission Creation directions from the SDK folder. The files are below please tell me what the problem is.The xml file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?><SimBase.Document Type="MissionFile" version="1,0"> <WorldBase.Flight> <SimMissionUI.ScenarioMetadata InstanceId="{5B598A03-5616-4343-933B-D49A6271C401}"> <Descr>ScenarioMetadata1</Descr> <ScenarioType>Mission</ScenarioType> <LocationDescr>Seattle</LocationDescr> <EstimatedTime>15 minutes</EstimatedTime> <UncompletedImage>Cessna_Incomplete.jpg</UncompletedImage> <CompletedImage>Cessna_Complete.jpg</CompletedImage> <MissionBrief>MissionCreationTutorial.HTML</MissionBrief> </SimMissionUI.ScenarioMetadata> </WorldBase.Flight> <MissionBuilder.MissionBuilder /></SimBase.Document>The FLT file[Main]Title=MissionCreationTutorialDescription="Fly a Cessna out of Boeing Field, reach an certain altitude and speed (1000 feet and 80 knots).
