I hope that in the future, the developers will make more campaigns available for this sim, ones which include many of the elements that now are absent.
While user content is always appreciated, many people are left in the dark about the basics of scripting and even the basics of the FMB.
There is lots of potentially great content by users going amiss because many of us are scrabbling around in the dark trying to figure out scripting or the FMB, and this is making things much harder than it should be.
As a result, user content regarding missions and campaigns is very slow to come to the surface, and that is hurting the long-term appeal of this sim.
Please take this as constructive criticism. We all want the game to do well, and everyone wants to enjoy the game, not only for a few days, but for years on end.
There is so much that is good about the sim, and it would be a pity if so much of the good stuff is wasted because people are bored of the content.

To get more user created content we need more documentation of how to create a mission and create scripts. The learning curve is very steep and even though some community members have done some fantastic work explaining how they've created their scripts something official would be be very good for the sim
I guess one of the problems with having such a sophisticated mission creating and scripting system is that it's hard to work with. Maybe we need a 'Lite' mission scripter for mugs like me?
