- What are you currently satisfied with in the Missions system?
The bush flights bring me to all different sort of places. I like the challenge of pure VFR navigation, with heading, time and good waypoints.
- What are you currently dissatisfied with in the Missions system?
The waypoints in some Bush Trips are not described by someone who has ever flown a VFR navigation route I suspect. More likely by someone who is a bus tourguide.
Example. “next leg brings you to the historical town of blablabla, known for its famous cheese and pancakes.” Well… I cannot see the cheese and pancakes from 3000ft in the air. But the odd shaped lake next to the town with a single mountain next to it was not mentioned as the waypoint.
Please ask some bushpilots to describe the waypoints in a way that you can identify them from the sky.
The track is visible on the GPS as purple track or waypoints and can be flown by autopilot in NAV mode, even when the track is not visible from the VFR map. When I open the VFR map it centers on my position, giving away where I am. Both are spoilers.
- What do you hope to see in the Missions system in the future?
Night VFR flights
VOR to VOR and/or NDB IFR navigation, without GPS, like it was 40 years ago. No GPS.
- If you have a question in regards to Missions for the devs, please post it below:
Why the choice for autorefuel after each landing, while we have a realistic refuelsystem in the sim available? Maybe indicate in the flightplan where fuel is available.
Why the “back on track” feature while we have a more realistic ATC options “ask heading to next waypoint” available in the sim?
