Before it went offline the
AVSIMS website used to host some pretty useful Tips on mission building. I just recently found that in September 2011 I had downloaded and saved all of the articles before the site went offline. I have zipped all 8 articles in PDF format into a single download and they are now available in the Mission4Today downloads area in the
Essential Files section.
