I've heard anecdotal reports that as of June 2021, progress on bush trips doesn't register if you use this trick. Which is disappointing so long as there are still bugs (and runways with clearly incorrect terrain data) that stop progress. YMMV.
I can confirm that this is not working anymore :-( When I did the landing performing this trick, I get an accomplishment dialog, but my flight isn't saved! After I exit and reopen the bush trip, I start over from the firs airport.
OMG thanks for this guide! I was stuck on leg 18 of the California trial ever since the first patch bricked this thing! By the way, you don't have to take off or keep enabling/disabling the developer mode. I teleported to the next leg and it registers as soon as you ping to the next airport. Some times the plane bounces or wheels appear a bit glitched through the floor (airport elevation change I guess), but it still registered the leg ok. Worked all 18 times without any issues.
Awesome, glad it helped. The guide I followed said on some legs the elevation changes mean you end up teleporting into the ground, so I figured I'd be better safe than sorry :)
@@ChasRoverYT Ya it makes sense. I thought I'd risk it as I couldn't make it any worse than it already is :) Do you know if I will still get the achievement even thought using this teleport method?
I have been struggling with the completion of the 11th leg on the Balkans bush trip. It has been bugged since the patch. I was not looking forward to flying them all again. I will give this fix a try this evening when I get home from work.
Hi @TechTheRedneck, I hope it works for you. It's not really a fix, just a time saver. There has been a patch since I uploaded this video (that was meant to solve the bush trips not completing issue), so I don't know for sure whether using this workaround has any side effects on achievements now.
I too am having trouble with that bush trip except for me it's with the 12th leg, LGPZ to LGMS. The runway isn't even rendering correctly at LGMS it looks like they just painted the dirt to look like a landing strip even know it's supposed to be paved. It doesn't even show up on the GPS that there is even an airstrip there so it won't trigger the end to that leg when I land. Tried taxing and stopping in multiple locations to try and get it to register, but nothing. Sadly since I'm playing on Xbox there is no way for me to get around this. 😕
The problem with the bush trips is that their creators are entering the wrong coordinates for the destination airports. The legs that don't work can only be fixed by the developers. And as everyone knows they are not reachable and they don't care. This is Microsoft afterall.
I've managed to complete every bush trip, but yeah, some of them needed extreme measures to get to work, like downloading a whole mod pack or having to learn how to use a bush trip file editor. Not a solution for the average person and only on PC.
In this moment, the game invalid the stage in Missolonghi airport after I land on that the airport looks blurry as if the photogrammetry data will not be loaded. I cannot continue with the tour., . any ideas? Thank you.
Hi. Yes, I do know how to fix this (for PC). A recent update removed that airport from the base sim! You need to download community made Greek airports. See here: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/balkans-bush-trip-missed-airfield-lgms-in-msfs-workaround/453413 Basically, download those files and place them in the Community folder of your Flight Simulator install. For Steam install, I think the Community Folder is here: \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\LocalCache\Packages\Community For Game Pass: %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
I don't know, but apparently the save files could be %AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES or %localAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES Now, those two variables are c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Appdata, so maybe try D:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData ? Finally, try searching for NEVADA_SAVE or BALKANS_SAVE or CHILE_SAVE depending on the bushtrip.
@@Amrior Try just deleting the folder and see if it will let you send to to the recycle bin. If not, it's probably a permissions error, you can try taking ownership of the folder above it, if you know how to do that.

@@salemilovanov7739 That's disappointing as this workaround is needed for when the game bugs out :(
What an awesome game, I still remember the very early version of MFS from the 90's. Good times! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so very much. That worked perfectly. Now I can replay that segment again from the beginning.

Just did this to fix 4 gorked out bush trips, worked for me. My love/hate relationship with bush trips is improving!
Great to hear!

Thanks! I had to do this for the whole Patagonia trip! After I took a month flying it, wouldn't complete
No problem :) I'm glad there's a workaround, losing a month of work would have sucked!
Worked for me thanks!

No worries!
Ive got my steam in my D drive and so is the game. cannot see the save file anywhere. Any ideas?
I don't know, but apparently the save files could be %AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES or %localAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES Now, those two variables are c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Appdata, so maybe try D:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData ?

For steam, you need to look under C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES
Did u get the Achievment?
only the original bush trips had achievements, so I don't know if this trick affects them.
I can't copy/cut my Balkans_save and put it somewhere else.
Make sure the game isn't running when you try moving the folder
@@ChasRoverYT game is closed. It says "Your organization does not allow you to place this file here".
