When first started using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 I found the bush trips fascinating. The only problem I had was the nav log taking up so much on the screen. I eventually found the PDF nav logs on flightsim.to. These were a great way to follow along using a tablet or phone. Then I noticed a post in the MSFFS simulator forums that the author was taking a break from Flight Simulator. I was quite disappointed. So, I thought, I could write a tool to export the bush trip nav logs. I could then simply share the tool, and anyone could export their own nav logs.
As I studied the files and started writing the tool, I found that the bush trip files are not very consistent and would be very difficult to create a tool that worked well on all trips. So, I then decided to just export all the bush trips I could tweaking the code here and there. I started by exporting them to Microsoft Word documents, which are easily converted to PDF. I decided these Word documents could be exported as HTML as well. So, I have put all of my successful exports on this website to share with Flight Sim community. I left the HTML as it was, so if you use a print to PDF tool, they fit on the pages perfectly.
You will notice that the pictures are large and take up a lot of space, I did this on purpose. On some of the bush trips, the grass strips can hard to find. So, with the larger pictures you can see it better when you are looking for the airport.
I will continue to export bush trips as they are added to Flight Simulator and put the pages on this site. If I can find a way to make this export tool more user friendly, I will share the code and allow anyone to download it and export their own logs.
Email me at msfsbushnavlog@msfsbushnavlog.com if you have any suggestions.
Love this site, it’s really useful for following the trips on my iPad especially on Xbox where we don’t have simlink or littlenavmap.
There used to be something similar on flightsim wiki that converted the bush trips to google earth files but they gave up many world updates ago.
Thanks for making it!
Thanks, I plan to keep it up to date with the newest trips as they are added. I use it as well. I originally started to make these for myself, but then thought why not share it with everyone.
I just got back into bush trips after a year or two virtually circling the world.
Having these desciptions lying beside you is so much easier than using the nav window.
Thanks a lot for your efforts, your work is very much appreciated!
Thanks, trying to keep it updated as much as I can. The UK and the new German, Swiss & Austria came out pretty close together but got them out as well.
Thanks for the work you do, have you also thought about localization for languages other than English?
p.s. i am italian
I can do that actually, I have designed my exporter to choose the language at export. Are there certain trips you would like exported? I could do those right away for you, it will take some time to do all of them though.
