### Begin Mission (BZB)

- Start a BZB-Qickstarter mission, but not one of the missions supplied with the FSX.
  A BZB mission consists of a series of flights from the home airport to at least one and a maximum of 5 destination airports and back to the home airport. Frequencies and runway data for departure and destination airports are displayed in the kneeboard. (For the sequence of such a flight, see the excursus in the complete manual.)
  Clicking on "Begin Mission" opens a sub-window with the options:
  - Just one flight ...,
    Just a single flight to enjoy the display of SID and airport information on the kneeboard.
  - ReStart a Mission
    Restart a previously created mission.
  - Build a new Mission

    - Passengers, luggage, cargo and the tour are determined by the random generator suitable for the currently set airplane.
    - The random generator chooses one from the Qickstarter planes plus suitable payload.
    - First, only payload is determined. The pilot must then choose a suitable plane.

## Airplanes

## Scenery sets

- Here you can choose sets of parameters that can be configured depending on the performance hunger of addon sceneries and your PC performance. If no checkbox is activated, IFR mode applies. In addition to the individual sets, there are also combination sets (see complete manual under Rsc file).
- With "Flight at Night", BZB-Qickstarter also adapts the Scenery.cfg if a version of "Aerosoft Night Environment" is installed. These entries are then switched on or off.

## Weather Options

The setting from the currently active flight file (* .flt) is always preselected.

- The first checkbox concerns one of the FSX weather themes such as "Fair Weather" or "Winter Wonderland". All themes can be selected with the Qickstarter configurator.
- Settings 2 and 3 offer the two opposite wind directions west and east. This can be used to influence which runway the FSX will select at startup.
- "Real Weather" only works properly if a real weather tool has also been started, e.g. FSrealWX. If you use another tool, please use the Qickstart Configurator to set it to the slot "program4".
