== Approach == | |||
we have previously talked about coming up with a simple "missions generator" in Nasal space, one where certain aspects of the mission would simply be variables, while other factors may depend on those variables. | |||
For instance, let's say we have a simple SAR mission - the mission generator could ask for an airport to be used as the base for the mission: | |||
'''KSFO''' | |||
Next, it could support randomiing the location given a radius around KSFO | |||
'''30 nm''' | |||
Next, it could ask for time-of-day to be used: | |||
'''night-time''' | |||
Next, it could ask for the weather settings: | |||
'''CAT III''' | |||
As can be seen, this would not need to be very difficult, but there is sufficient room to randomize things using some sane defaults. | |||
A while ago, I came up with a simple wizard-like framework that would walk people through creating a custom -set.xml file, the same approach could be used for such a "missions generator": | |||
[[Aircraft Generation Wizard]] | |||
[[File:Aircraft-wizard-wip2.png|250px]] | |||
These days, I would suggest to use a native Canvas UI to do this, because it is much more flexible. | |||
At this point, I guess it is more important to gather a team of people who know a little about Nasal coding, so that we can prototype a simple generator. | |||
And as a matter of fact, rleibner's recent work on supporting "AI-ATC" via ground-controlled-approaches (GCA) could be considered the foundation for a multi-variable "mission generator": | |||
[[Howto:Implementing a simple GCA system]] | |||
[[File:Gca-dialog-with-multiplayer-support.png|250px]] | |||
As can be seen, this is a simple Canvas GUI dialog, but it takes roughly a 10-12 parameters to configure the GCA, which could be considered "mission variables". | |||
It would be a piece of cake to extend this for other purposes, turn it into an actual wizard and hook it up to some kind of mission/adventure system, possibly in conjunction with the spoken atc addon rleibner is developing: [[Spoken ATC]] | |||
And actually, once you think about it, using the checklists feature, it would be relatively easy to customize different missions for different aircraft semi-automatically, because the various V-speeds etc are part of the checklist. | |||
I guess that's the kind of approach, I'd use to make sure that a single "mission" could be applied to different locations (airports/runways). | |||
