I recently downloaded the "Airbus 320 Short Flight" mission (navaf_fr.zip) found on many sim sites. It places the mission in a folder "Navette Air France" under the main folder "Missions". But when I start FSX it doesn't show up among the missions so I can't start it. Does anyone have this problem? Is it specific for this download or not? How can I get FSX to recognize the mission?

I assume it is unzipped, and it should be in one of the catigories(just for fun, military, ect.).

Also, if you have a lot of missions, it could be hard to find. Try sorting them by name and looking again.

Hope this helps! Grin

I just downloaded it and manually installed it (directed the auto-installer to a temporary folder and then manually oved things where they should go).

It does not show up for me either (no matter where I put it in the Missions folder or one of the categories).

The author says an English version is "coming soon" but that was two years ago so don't hold your breath. Embarrassed

I see that you found the same problem, Opa. I still can't figure out what is missing. An entry in "Categories"? But other add-on missions get by without that...
As you said, this mission is several years old, and the author doesn't reply on the e-mail address he gave in the download, so I'll give it up for now. Well, c'est la France, I suppose...

I finally found the solution: This mission requires Acceleration. Pity that the guy who uploaded it didn't include this vital piece of information...
