Exactly, those, and the Machado training from FS2004, are actually pretty good. They desperately need something like Mission 8.
I’m all for FSX nostalgia, but I feel that this thread has derailed somewhat.
The discussion I was aiming for was how we can include the elements that we loved from FSX Missions into the existing Landing Challenges and Bush Trips.
Both these types of activities are popular amongst simmers, but could certainly be improved to give us that feeling that we’re flying in an active and immersive world. Much like FSX’s missions, the default ATC and AI traffic have been cut out from these activities in FS2020, but instead of being replaced with something better (pre-defined traffic and voice recordings), we currently have… nothing. Pretty places, without any signs of life…
I too, would love to see a return of Missions to this franchise. But if that’s not on the agenda, then I think we need to look at the next best thing, which is enriching our experiences with the current set of activities.
