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.
