Mission Editor

Motivation
On the forum there is a section regarding missions and tutorials. In this section there is a topic where Marius_A showed some time ago his attempts to provide mission framework for FG (see https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=31057)[1]
maybe this is also right direction to provide missions/TE (Tactical Engagement) framework to accompany model scenarios mentioned in this thread.[2]
the creation of a mission editor might go a long way in helping the implementation of such a system. The creation of a "mission editor" is something I have been contemplating for a very long time. The ability to add this type of logic and its execution in a location other than fgdata and the AI GUI might prove useful.[3]
Background
a simple GUI would definitely be possible using Canvas, we once prototyped a simple dialog that would allow MapStructure layer elements/symbols to be freely moved around on a map, e.g. for visually placing missions elements (other aircraft, crash/accident sites, objectives, wild fires etc):

Likewise, a slider could be used for timeline-based editing, and a treeview control could be used for event/branching-based editing[4]
