Sometimes the files include briefings and maps but when I load the missions those things don't show up; instead they just open with an airplane sitting at a nice airport with no ideas other than just go flying around (which I could have done just as easily in free flight). Some better installation instructions would be helpful; I feel like I'm missing some files going to the correct place where the program would read them.

Is there a readme file contained in the zip file? Usually the readme will advise where to install the mission folder (example: Copy TourBeijing folder your FSX Mission folder: .\Missions\The Good Life.) If there is a reward included in the mission copy the RWD file to the Rewards folder. I fly quite a few missions from Ole on Flight Simulator X Missions: http://www.flightsimulatorxmissions.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=5 Ole always includes a readme file and advises where to copy the mission folder and RWD folder. I flew the Tour of Beijing, China yesterday. Not very difficult mission and was interesting to fly with choice of aircraft.
