| Introduction
Mission-X is an X-Plane plugin that can help in:
- Generate Random Missions for Helicopters and Planes a like.
Supports overpass based templates to generate medevac missions (Community example can be found on @daikan github page) - Run pre-defined missions that were shared by other community members (example in x-plane.org site or maybe even in the current site).
- Provide a framework to build your own adventures (You can use other missions as a template and build on it, simple editor will do the trick).
- Generate ILS missions: place your plane in an airport and search for other ILS airports around. It is a simple, one leg mission, but at least you can generate a quick ILS flight to train, meaning, you will have to prepare the whole flight/charts weather etc..., the plugin will only provide you with a destination ramp/terminal.
- Generate missions based on "flightplandatabase.com" and "Simbried": You can now prepare a missiong based on your Simbrief flight plan, or using a pre-defined route from "flightplandatabase" site.
- Convert flight plan from LittleNavMap to mission files and then use it as a base for your own mission pack by expanding it to make it more engaging.
The plugin is evolving all the time and run best on X-Plane 12, although it is also compatible with X-Plane 11.
For best results, you should also download "custom scenery library" files like:

My site can be found in: "http://snagardev.weebly.com/", you can get a cross platform java based installer for the plugin, unfortunately it is not compatible with this site rules (but you can get it from the plugin page).

Installation
The plugin is compressed in ".7z" format.
1. Place the file in "{X-Plane}/Resource/plugins" folder.
2. Extract the compressed plugin file.
Plugin folder structure should look something similar to:
missionx
├── db
├── docs
│ └── license
├── libs
│ ├── 64
│ ├── bitmap
│ ├── fonts
│ ├── sqlite
│ └── text_to_speech-google
├── lin_x64
├── mac_x64
├── save
├── templates (pre-defined random mission templates)
└── win_x64
3. Since v24.06.1 the "Random Scenery Pack" is bundled with the plugin, so you can find it in the "plugins" root folder and follow the following steps:
3.1 Create folder by the name "missionx" in "{XP}/Custom Scenery"
3.2 Save the file in "{XP}/Custom Scenery/missionx"
3.3 Extract the file (a new folder by the name "random" will be created).
X-Plane
├── Custom Scenery
│ └── missionx
│ └── random
The Random Scenery pack is mandatory to generate random missions. This will be the folder it will write its mission file and overrite it every new random mission is created.
4. MacOS users only, post installation steps (if not already done before):
======================================================
=== Troubleshooting Library issues on MacOS
======================================================
The latest build uses the OS cURL shared library, so there is no need to use the custom build I provided for this specific library.
If you still have issues, please use "otool", if it is installed, you should run the following command from {xp} installation folder:
$ cd {X-Plane root folder} (installation folder)
$ otool -L Resources/plugins/missionx/64/mac.xpl
Troubleshooting
Linux and OSX troubleshoot information can be found in the README.txt file at the root folder of the plugin, it explains how to fix missing libraries in OSX and Linux.

Hey there,
I installed the main two files and all supporting custom scenery to my custom scenery xplane 12 folder. The plugin runs, but when i come to generate/create medevac mission it shows an error "Error code while writing error: unable to open file for writing - (random.xml file routing) followed by this error message: "There might be missing 3d files".
I'm very eager to try your work and give you feedback. Kindly show me how to fix this?
Thanks!

Sorry for not responding earlier, unfortunately I do not receive notifications on new comments.
The two errors might point out that the "random" mission pack is not placed correctly.
The missing 3D file, that probably points to a missing Library, you should open the "missionx.log" file in the plugin folder and check at the end which files are missing and hopefully download the correct library.
Contact me directly for further help ([email protected])

I can't quite seem to get this working 100%. It doesn't upload co-ordinates to my gps. Also, it asked me to hover over the scene for 14 seconds and I did for like 2 minutes at different heights, etc and nothing happened.

Just saw your comment.
Please contact me directly by e-mail: "[email protected]".
I might need the mission file to test it myself and in the hope to find the root cause for that.

I believe I fixed the issue at hand few versions back.
Sorry for not replying here earlier, I forgot were I read this issue but I remembered the issue.
Hope the hovering bug is fixed and you can re-test a mission.
