CAREER ACTIVITIES
To ensure that your aircraft and airports work correctly with the various careers that are available as well as some of the predefined Navigation Services or Apron Services, you will have to include one or more navigation_graph.cfg files which have been setup in a specific way, as well as follow some other guidelines specific to the career mission or the airport service you are wanting to interact with. Before setting up your aircraft for career missions, however, you should ensure that you have read and understood the information on the following page related to the general career mission flow and setup:
The pages listed below cover all the available careers and provide information on the requirements for any aircraft to participate in that specific career, as well as additional information related to airports and other simulation interactions.
- Preflight (All AIrcraft)
- Spawn Pilot (All Aircraft)
- Aerial Advertising (Planes)
- Aerial Construction (Helicopters)
- Aerial Firefighting (Planes)
- Agricultural Aviation (All Aircraft)
- Cargo Transport (All Aircraft)
- Charter Service (Planes)
- Commercial Flights And Passengers (All Aircraft)
- Ferry Flights (Planes)
- Flightseeing / First Flight (All Aircraft)
- Medevac (Planes)
- Search And Rescue (All Aircraft)
- Skydiving (Planes)
Note that some of these activities can benefit from using the included SimAttachments (each page mentions which ones that can be used). The setup required for these is explained here:
Some activities may also benefit or require the setup of aircraft cargo, either as an aesthetic choice or as part of the career mission itself. You can find information on setting this up on the following page:
Additionally, for the transversal Pilot / Copilot setup, for free flight passengers and for commercial flights, you may wish to include interactive seatbelts. This is not a requirement for an aircraft, but it is highly recommended to enhance the realism of the simulation activities. You can find more information here:
Finally, you can find additional information related to aircraft setup for careers on the following page:
Parameter Verification
To facilitate aircraft development for career activities, an improvement to the Career Compatibility tool to include Parameter Verification will soon be available to help you verify the correct configuration of certain parameters. Although this tool will assist by identifying potential blockers, it will only check if the entered values technically comply with mission requirements. It will not assess the logical accuracy or optimal tuning of these values, and you will still need to ensure the coherence and fine-tuning of your aircraft configurations independently. Furthermore, the tool will not be able to check all parameters as some of them need the sim to be running to have a value (for example, the ENG COMBUSTION SimVar can only give a value with the simulation actually running).
