== Creating Missions Using the SDK ==

Missions are structured flights that have a setting, plot, and often special scenery and sound effects. There are loads of default missions that come with FSX, but it's possible to make your own using the '''Object Placement Tool'''.

The Object Placement Tool has a large catalogue of 'objects' that can be added to Missions. Some of these objects are sceneryThere are two types of these objects, andscenery othersobjects, areand program objects.

=== Scenery Objects ===

Scenery objects are objects such as people, buildings, bridges, or vehicles that appear in a Mission's scenery. Scenery objects created using the Object Placement Tool only appear in Missions, so they won't change the appearance of a ___location in free flight. There is an enormous library of scenery objects that come with FSX, and any of these objects, as well as objects created by the programmer, can be added to the Mission.

==== '''Mobile scenery objects''' ====

Mobile Scenery Objects are essentially scenery objects that have a series of programmed waypoints that allow them to move around. ''<u>Note: For moving vehicles, ships, and aircraft, it is more appropriate to create AI program objects with waypoint lists.</u>''

* Actions

* AI Objects

* Group Objects
