What in the program changes the mission list.

I was standing at the same airport and opened MG and list A appeared.
I then either changed the aircraft or something else but not my location and then when I opened MG again a second list with diff missions opened.
This like happened within a 5 - 8 min time span, thus my Q what makes the MG "change" the created mission list.

Thank you for a great APP!

2nd suggestion, somehow implementing a flight where we enter the destination, and cargo, or type of flight?

An update to X-Plane's scenery database tripped up the Mission Generator, which resulted in an empty mission list in the v12.0.8 beta. This is now fixed.

Nominal operation of version 1.7 under X-Plane 11.

Sincerely.

Log.txt

Additionally, it includes two minor fixes: You no longer need to set the parking brake in helicopters with skids, and the aircraft description in the debriefing window is improved in X-Plane 12.

Situation: I want to set the report to activate on parking, not taxi. Problem: I fly a lot of skidded helicopters. Solution: ??

Any advice for me?

Thanks.

Is anyone able to give me some consumer friendly advice?

Do these paid plug ins work on steam version of x-plane 11?

Are they worth it?  Or is it merely a means to fund them?

What flight school is recommended?  I am interested in ifr for the cessna.  I just do not want to pay and find they dont work or are a bad bang for the buck.

Is any one courageous enough to speak out?

Just one question. 

Should we start the MG with no fuel and cargo on the plane?

I fly the C17 so I'm curious to what loads will be put on it lol

But since I'm almost exlusively flying in virtual reality now, I'm wondering whether this works well in VR. Are the menus visible and can I interact with them without disabling my headset?
If it does work, it's a sure buy from me

Thanks and best regards!
 

My issue is when I want to fly to some remote airstrip in the mountains it doesn't exist in my avionics, and sometimes it doesn't even pullup in an external flight planning app. Take CD69, it's some small ranch airstrip in the Colorado mountains. It exists in the sim but not in my cycle of charts of my avionics. I could fly to it and land there, but I "can't find it". I find myself having to sit there for ten minutes checking for missions that will actually pop up in my avionics, anything other than airports that start with K (KDEN, KSLC, KLAX, etc.) doesn't pop up nine times out of ten. Okay that's fine I'll google it, well the state identifier is different from the FAA identifier. You can see how this would go...

HOWEVER! I can enter coordinates into my avionics, what if the description of the mission gave us the coordinates? Does XPlane have that information stored and can we display that? This would "solve" the issues with data compatibility, by giving the user the most basic information. Allowing one to create a custom waypoint, that would be much better than not being able to fly certain missions. I have gotten to the point where I want to purchase a new aircraft just to be able to use mission generator to it's fullest capacity. (Thranda's Kodiak uses the stock G1000, so I could see what XPlane sees.... I think.)

Nevertheless, it is still a great plugin and will continue to use it and recommend it. Thanks in advance!

However I flew a mission in VR (HP Reverb G2) and after landing the analysis report came up and the sim crashed XP12b5. The log named mission generator as the plugin responsible.

Any help would be welcome.

There is a way, or if in future we can have an option on Preferences menu, to not allow the Mission Generator to change the cargo/pax/fuel of the aircraft. This can be problematic wth many complex addons that have his own tools to dstribute cargo/pax +fuel. As so we see the cargo to hold and manually adjust and add it on the dedicated panel of the aircraft to avoid screw the arcraft internal variables.

Thank You!!!

This patch adds compatibility with the new scenery organization in X-Plane 12, where all airport data is now stored in the "global scenery" directory, and no longer in the "default scenery".

Thank you for @RandomUser for finding this issue and providing a workaround while I was on vacation!

Also, this update is no longer compatible with X-Plane 10.

With permission from @bastibe, a fixed airports.lua is now attached to this post.

Download and unzip the archive, then make a back up of MissionGenerator/data/modules/3rd-modules/airports.lua and replace the original file with the one below.

Don't forget to rebuild MissionGenerator's database!

Here's a simple fix to make MissionGenerators airport database updating algorithm aware of the global airport's apt.dat new location in X-Plane 12:

Create a backup of "MissionGenerator/data/modules/3rd-modules/airports.lua" (just in case), then add the following line between "ini:close()" and "-- check if airport database exists:" at around line 166:

-- Manually add the new location for global airports to the table with the scenery list
sceneries[#sceneries+1] = sasl.getXPlanePath()..'/Global Scenery/Global Airports/Earth nav data/apt.dat'
--

The resulting part of airports.lua looks like this:

 end
ini:close()
-- Manually add the new location for global airports to the table with the scenery list
sceneries[#sceneries+1] = sasl.getXPlanePath()..'/Global Scenery/Global Airports/Earth nav data/apt.dat'
--
-- check if airport database exists:
local database = io.open(sasl.getProjectPath() .. "/3rd-modules/airports.csv")

Save the modified file, reload X-Plane 12 and let MissionGenerator rebuild its airport database (or trigger a manual rebuild from the corresponding menu entry).

MG should not crash anymore and the mission list should work again.

I recently had a peculiar mission list at M65. 

Whenever I would Accept the KDXE or KADF missions, it would activate both. Likewise, when I canceled one, it canceled both (and seemed to pop up two debriefing overlays, one of which would never go away after that).

Alas, I only have a screenshot. If I see it again, I'll get the logs.
