The Missionsgerät exports Aerofly FS tmc, Microsoft FS pln or X-Plane fms flight plan files.
It also generates a Markdown file containing a textual description of the flight including weather data, as well as a GeoJSON file.

+The basic steps to work with the Missionsgerät are straightforward:
+
+1. The Aerofly Missionsgerät converts simulator flight plan files for [Aerofly FS 4](https://www.aerofly.com/) (`main.mcf` and `tmc`), Microsoft Flight Simulator (`pln`) and X-Plane (`fms`). It also imports Garmin flight plan files (`fpl`).
+2. Upload the flight plan file to the Missionsgerät.
+3. You may want to add settings like the aircraft used, time and weather. Only Aerofly FS 4 flight plan files contain these information, so other flight plan files need to add these manually. You may also want to modify your starting position and heading by using the Missionsgerät's map.
+4. Download the converted flight plan files file from the Missionsgerät.
+
+If you want to use the flight plan file in Aerofly FS 4, check the [generic `custom_missions_user.tmc` installation instructions](./generic-installation.md).

Be aware that there is only one `custom_missions_user.tmc` at any given time.
If you have multiple mission files, rename them accordingly and keep backups of the original files.

-The flight plan itself will not show up properly in Aerofly FS4, as the waypoints are way too close - and sadly the poles are not modelled. But glancing on the moving map gives you an idea where the poles are supposed to be, and you may have a glimpse as some funny spots on the aerial images, which are the poles.
