Welcome to The Bush Trip Circuit. This series of flights consists of thirteen, short to medium length bush trips to various airstrips in the states of Montana, Idaho and Washington. Some of the departures and landings can be challenging, while others are routine. The circuit is a sequential route starting at Running Creek Ranch (05ID) and ending at Mount St. Helen’s Aero Ranch (WN10). The routes vary in distance from ~20nm to ~90nm.
For each leg, a route has been preloaded in the GPS, but it is advised that you study the terrain elevations from point A to point B on the GPS map to determine if deviations will be necessary. For most flights, cruise altitudes are provided that will ensure you clear the terrain, but you can, of course, deviate as desired.
You will be flying with a co-pilot that will provide you with some basic information (departure runway, etc.), and make traffic calls when appropriate. Although these flights are intended to be hand-flown VFR, you can us the autopilot if desired.
The default bush flights are configured to use the SWS Kodiak 100, a pay-ware aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, an application has been included (Change Aircraft.exe) that will allow you to use various standard aircraft capable of flying into small bush airstrips. If you want to use a different aircraft, run this program from your Community folder before starting MSFS.
- All missions were created using the BushMissionGen utility created and distributed by f99mlu.
- Fart.exe is a Find And Replace Text command line utility created by Lionello Lunesu.
- Change Aircraft.exe is a graphical user interface that I created for the FART utility.
Yesterday wanted to try it out and it appears like not installed. Theres nothing there now (custom content). So i put all folders directly in Community folder...tried about 10 times, nothing. Created a new Community folder, copied everything there and it showed up, but every leg as a single flight. It worked only once. Now Custom Content is empty again. I have the Kodiak, so I´m really lost... I hope this helps you to figure it out.

Today it stopped showing up on my custom content. I tried everything but there´s no way to make it appear again. What could it be?
Already reinstalled, restarted and so on....

You have another exe file included in your download file, that you don't mention. What is that used for (fart.exe)

The fart.exe file is mentioned in the README.pdf. It is a utility used by the Change Aircraft.exe program. Fart.exe is a command line interface that can replace text strings within a file. The Change Aircraft.exe program is a user interface to that utility so you don't have to type code to make the change.
