THE MISSION TOOL

IMPORTANT! This tool is a temporary fix to allow developers to test certain aspects of mission creation and will not be in the final version of the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 DevMode / SDK.

The mission tool is opened from the Editors menu. This tool is designed to help mission and challenge designers test their work in the simulation. To use this tool, please follow the instructions outlined below.
