Head over to [https://fboes.github.io/aerofly-missions/dist/](https://fboes.github.io/aerofly-missions/dist/) to get started.
There is also a local Node.js CLI tool, if you want some automation for your workflow.
## Features
- Modify weather settings with live METAR information.
- Modify placement of flight plan checkpoints.
- Open flight plan in [SkyVector](https://skyvector.com/), including aircraft settings.
- Export [text briefings](docs/flightplan.md) and Markdown files, including weather and aircraft settings.

## Local Node.js CLI tool
You will need the following software installed on your PC:
- [Aerofly FS 4](https://www.aerofly.com/)
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) (Version 16+)
- Optional: [Windows Terminal](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-terminal/9N0DX20HK701) or use your pre-installed terminal
### Installation
1. Run `npm install -g aerofly-missions` from your terminal to globally install `aerofly-missions`.
2. Optional: You might want to put [a preconfigured batch file](docs/aerofly-missions.bat) on your desktop for ease of access.
### Updating
1. Run `npm install -g aerofly-missions` from your terminal to update `aerofly-missions` to the current version.
## Usage wit Aerofly FS 4
This manual is for Windows 10/11 installations. On other operating systems these steps are similar, but the file system locations will be different.
1. Open Aerofly FS 4, set up a flight plan, choose a aircraft, set time and weather. (You may want to use the [Aerofly Wettergerät](https://github.com/fboes/aerofly-wettergeraet/) to get weather data.)
1. Start the flight and check if the position of your aircraft is correct.
1. Quit Aerofly FS 4 so all your settings will be saved to your `main.mcf` configuration file, usually located at `C:\Users\…\Documents\Aerofly FS 4\main.mcf`.
1. Web version:
1. Open https://fboes.github.io/aerofly-missions/dist/ and point the tool to the `main.mcf`.
1. Local version:
1. Open the explorer and point it to the directory `main.mcf` is located, e.g. `Documents\Aerofly FS 4\`.
1. Right click on the folder name and choose "Open in terminal".
1. Run `aerofly-missions` in the open terminal to convert `main.mcf` to a `tmc` file (see below).
1. Grab your exported `tmc` file with all your settings converted into a single mission file. This file can now be placed into the custom mission directory in Aerofly FS 4.
Be aware that right now Aerofly FS 4 accepts custom missions exclusively from within `…\Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator\missions\custom_missions_user.tmc`. See [installation instructions](https://fboes.github.io/aerofly-missions/docs/generic-installation.html) on how to get started.
See the [custom missions documentation](docs/custom-missions.md) for more information. See also [more sources for flight plans on the Internet](docs/importing-flightplans.md).
