    Vertical Studios in P3D

    Just curious if anyone has used the very nice missions designed by this group in P3D. . .and also if you can insert a different airplane and still trigger all the cues that make things happen along the way.

    Your post reminded me I had bought #1 of the Colorado camping trip, but never installed it! Pete

    Well, it served a purpose then Pete, lol. For the price, I'm just gonna get the ones I'm missing and figure out how to replace the aircraft afterwards. These were always fun to fly and the price is right.

    Seems I've hit a snag. . .changing the airplane isn't a problem really. . .however when you go to load a mission P3D_V2.3 only seems to recognize the 3 default mission folders and there doesn't seem to be a way to point it to the other folder with the 5 missions in it. I thought it might be an entry in the cfg file but I found no reference to that effect. Still working on it.

    Hi Falcon
    That problem goes back to at least V1.3 and is down to the FSCategories.xml in the categories folder. The P3D one only has the entries for those 3 categories so wont see the others.
    Even so just copying the one over from FSX still dosent work for some reason and I had to manually re wright it to get it working.
    Heres the code from the one I edited.

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
    
    <SimBase.Document
            Type="AceXML"
            version="1,0"

    Make a new text document with notepad and past the code in then rename it to FSCategories.xml making sure its not called FSCategories.xml.txt the move it to the categories folder, dont forget to backup the original first.

    I just tried the free Mountain-Flying-in-Switzerland-part-1 and it shows up in the list OK but comes up with an error when I tried to load it
    The same thing happens with some of the default FSX missions also, some work and some dont.
