This volume contains 10 fun missions, with 3 Beginners, 3 Intermediate Missions, 2 Advanced and 2 Expert Missions. These missions are fun to fly and can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to complete. They also include a reward after you complete the mission.

Some of the missions on this Volume are easy to fly, a few are more challenging and some require more flying experience, like the use of the Air traffic Control (ATC)and ILS landing experience. But they are fun and not impossible to complete like other missions. They also include more scenery and some animation to make the experience more real.

The name actually says it all: the mission packs by Max Scarcia are aimed at a broad public who want manageable missions, not something utterly impossible. In this case the missions are all set in Africa, although you don't get a huge amount of local flavour.
This pack contains ten missions, of which two are emergencies, one is an animal spotting flight, and the rest are airliner flights or approaches. The last group makes useful training material for the big jet fan, although obviously you could achieve the same result in free flights.
A great thing is that you are given the choice of manual (which I prefer) or automatic installation - a thing very seldom seen among mission makers.
The missions all use default aircraft and ditto scenery items, and have good sound files. There are some spelling errors in the captions, but that won't put you off.
Unfortunately three of the missions (approaches) contain a programming glitch that makes them load as Free Flights. You can, however, e-mail Max for replacement files.
All in all, value for money (14 € for ten missions), I think.
