Adding a Flight "briefing" to saved flights
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2003 10:51 pmI recently had the delight of flighting a 23-leg tour of the appalachian mountains. This was truly a challenge and visual candy. These are out-of-way, small airports, nestled in valleys or high on mountaintops.
Here's the question: I am in the process of compiling the entire set of flights, plans, and weather into a package so others can enjoy it. (I obtained the originals from someone else, but I modified them for twin props--the Baron in particular--and the originals were poorly documented.) I've added complete documentation (including pictures and facilities data for each of the airports, etc.) and have given the flights a folder structure (like the default flights in Pro) with complete descriptions. However, in the default flights there is also a "briefing" that appears before the flight starts. By snooping I find that it resides in a .brf file in the flight folder. How does one make such a thing? I wasn't intending to make full-fledged "adventures" but I'd be curious if there is some utility for this, or just some way to compile a breifing. Couldn't find anything in any download archives anywhere and no information at the MS site either.
