Find Aircraft and Scenery Dependencies for Activities

I switched to a lean install and deleted everything in the content manager except the core content mandatory packages. Trying to reinstall some activities I realize that despite being installed in the content manager they only show up in the activities menus when I also have the correct aircraft installed.

For World Update 18 for example the bush trip Switzerland shows up as I have the NXCub installed. However, for the discovery flight Zurich I don’t know what aircraft it uses so it doesn’t show up as I probably don’t have it installed. For the Top Gun Maverick DLC the activities showed up and I had a download symbol telling me what content was required, but for other activities this is missing. Is there a way to know the dependencies for an activity?

I already checked the world update sites on https://flight.fandom.com/wiki/, but these don’t exist for the newer world updates anymore.

Thanks for any help.

Hi TwiggyLeader11,
The feature that displays missing aircraft and liveries for missions used to work a long time ago, but it no longer does. However, you can figure it out yourself in FS20. Look for the corresponding mission in the [MSFS2020]\Official\OneStore folder. Scroll all the way to the end and open the FLT file with a text editor. In the [Sim.0] block, you’ll find the aircraft type and livery listed after the “Sim=” entry.

Thank you for the fast reply. This approach worked out for me.
