THE CAREER TOOL

The career tool is opened from the Tools menu. This tool is designed to help aircraft creators test their work in the various activities available in the sim Career Mode (one sample mission is provided for each activity). 

• On the left side of the window you will find the list of all aircraft currently loaded in the simulator. Your current aircraft is selected by default but you can choose another one if needed.
• On the right side is the list of available activities with both their full name and their short code. Select the activity you would like to test the aircraft with.
• After selecting an activity, a warning message will appear indicating that using a non compatible aircraft in these missions may lead to unexpected results.
• A new Parameters section will also appear, allowing you to set some variables used within the mission - each activity has its own set of parameters (see table below).
• Once you have setup the mission, press the Start mission button.

NOTE: This tool uses shortcuts in the normal Career flow which will teleport you almost instantly at the start of the mission. Hence the environment and objects around your aircraft may require a few seconds to load and be rendered correctly.

How to use the tool

In order to ensure that the aircraft you are testing is fully compatible with the selected activity we advise you to:

• First go through the mission without skipping any stage:
  • Ensure all NPCs are correctly located
  • Ensure all RTCs are played correctly
  • Ensure you can play the mission from start to finish
• Then go through the mission once more, skipping the stages that can be:
  • Ensure your aircraft is properly configured after each skipped step
  • Ensure you can play the mission from start to finish

NOTE: Make sure you read carefully the FLT Files section of the Career Activities documentation page.
