Nest mission

[exlax]

Is it normal to have to restart BOX to have a mission show up? When I complete a mission and want to do another I have to restart the sim to have it show up.

Yes that is how it works.

No, it is not.  Just exit the BoX mission menu and reenter.  BOX will reread the mission folder and show the new mission.  Alt-Tab is required to switch between PWCG and BoX, but you do not have to shut down and restart BoX.

 

In mind numbing detail:

Start PWCG

Start BoX

Alt-Tab to bring up PWCG

Create a mission in PWCG

Minimize PWCG

Fly the mission in BoX

Alt-Tab to bring back PWCG

Enter your combat report in PWCG

Create another mission in PWCG

Alt Tab to bring back BoX 

Exit Mission Menu in BoX

Reenter mission menu in BoX - the new PWCG mission will be there

Fly the mission in BoX

Keep doing this until you fall asleep at the joystick.

Ah I’m sorry. I have trouble sometimes with alt tab with box and forgot about that. Thanks Pat.

I was alt-tabbing back and forth but apparently I wasn't giving the program enough time, I went and made a sandwich today and it worked.
