I like what I've seen of the new assignment/mission dispatch system. Will there be any way to have missions randomly assigned from any airport, or must they be scripted from defined airports? I would love to have the ability to generate missions from bush strips around the world, even if they are just simple search missions or the like.

Hello Mark,
yes, Dutch wants to implement a system that will produce missions for any airport. But that may take a while and will likely not be part of FSCaptain 1.8.0.
Cheers, Peter

Yes, this will appear after 1.8.0... whether it's for 1.8.1, or 1.9.0 or even 2.0.0.... It's a tricky thing to implement... basically we have to go 'fishing' to see what's around to offer. Regards,

The problem is not offering something stupid. It's fairly safe to offer simple missions like pickup and delivery to nearby airports. But something like firefighting? How can we find a location that's suitable automatically? There's no easy way to detect land class inside the sim. We could easily end up with a "forest" fire in some downtown skyscrapers. Rescues, another favorite mission type, is also problematic.
For automatically generated missions we'll probably be limited to pickup, delivery, and survey type missions with few to no animations.

Sounds like good stuff. Looking forward to it. The only thing I have seen in other programs is timed delivery missions and survey missions.
