I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your gamepack (or alternatively, what you want from a 'game interface) - do you want to extend FS itself?

However, in any case, Peter Dawson's excellent FSUIPC utility (which I'm sure you'll have heard of) provides access to a very wide variety of data from FS. I believe you can get a licence for your add-on to use FSUIPC for free so long as you release that add-on for free. Although - you will need programming experience to use it.

EDIT: Rereading, if you just want to load up .FLT saved flights/missions (I think FSX reintroduced missions 'for real' - perhaps worth looking into that?) by using HTML documents to navigate to these flights, then you might be interested to know that the kneeboard is essentially just a wrapper around the Internet Explorer rendering engine (Trident) - meaning it will display HTML files. You'd just have to tinker with the aircraft.cfg of the aircraft you wanted it to appear for (or, I think, the aircraft.cfg in the default aircraft folder - it's been a while since I did much with FS).

Quote:The 'gamepack' is payware and features a WWII oriented era package of scenery and aircraft as well as missions, (7 airfields, various AI and high detail aircraft, perhaps 60 missions, and include a Kubelwagen and a Type VIIC U-Boot).

Ah, looking up your website, I see I have actually come across some of your creations before.

Quote:Good to hear you know so much about FS already.

Heh, I've been in the community for about 6 or 7 years. I developed a few pieces of software for VASM before that went under, released a handful of mesh sceneries (for relatively small areas that interested me - although I've thought about automating the process and covering some larger areas) and done a bit of repainting (albeit I never released any of my paints - I'm not very good!).

Quote:I want to make this like a 'game of its own' sort of feel in the 'first part' of the mission, then it boots up FS directly into the flight. Pretty much like FS Cargo Pilot does, though theirs does a very cool interactive work with rewards and such, which is more then I wish to do with this gamepack.

Ah, I understand better now. Depending on exactly (I realise it is in your interest not to share details, as it's a commercial project) what you're doing, simply using a web-browser based interface may suit your purposes. However, it may be worthwhile looking into writing a computer program specifically for your product (particularly since it makes the inclusion of some of the multimedia you have included somewhat easier - making things a somewhat more integrated environment). On the other hand, using a browser-based interface does sound like it'd be absolutely fine for you.

Quote:I have a couple of sims on the drawing boards as well that have been started, but utilize the FS2004 game engine, which I do not know if it can be leased or licensed.

Ah, that's intriguing - I'll be interested to see what comes out of that. I believe Microsoft have used the FS2004 game engine elsewhere (I can't remember what for, off the top of my head) but as far as I'm aware no one else has yet licensed it.

Are you good at mesh? Like can you do 'really' large area's?

To be honest, while there is a degree of skill in the creation, the main reason I figure not everyone does it is that it's mildly time consuming (downloading hundreds of megabytes of files, doing the necessary processing). I'd need to brush back up on how exactly I went about it, but I've been thinking for a while about finding some documentation of the source data formats and writing a program to perform some automated processing (mostly filling in any holes in the high-res SRTM data with the lower-res DEM data) then allow me to manually tweak the data as necessary. That shouldn't be too hard - then all that's necessary is to run the resulting data through the converter for BGL format.

What kind of really large areas are you thinking of? In theory, there's nothing restricting the size.

Quote:I have been trying to lease the game engine for several months now. I figured they wouldnt mind leasing the retired FS engine.

I take it you've been running against a brick wall, then? It's a pity...
