yes they will. they have a lot ideas for MSFS2020 like more scenarios and add ons (probably some will cost you a bit money). There is an interview (IN GERMAN) where one of the developers talking about the future of the Simulator. If you understand german ^^ you can have a look on the german youtube channel of GameStar, they have a lot of videos right now because of Gamescom and there you will find the Interview :)
I really enjoyed that @Squirrel. II didnt reakise how hard it would beto spot landings while bush flying, you nailed, more legs on the bush flying please!
This one was great, it was hilarious listening to your Croatian pronunciations, theyre pretty hard. Just a quick tip, for the next leg of this trip, in Croatian C is pronounced TS, and C with a little thong on top Č is pronounced like CH. So Gacka River is Gatska and Otočac is Otochats.
Hey Squirrel, these are supposed to be full VFR trips, without GPS. The first one (Arizona-Yosemity) doesn't give any information (you're flying the Savage Cub). I'm really not sure why they provided a 172 with the entire route pre-programmed into the GPS for the Balkans one. Right now you're spending 80% of your time watching your nav instruments instead of looking outside for the VFR cues (and the best views you'll get on these trips). Would have made more sense if they gave you the 152 for this one. For the best experience/enjoyment I advise deleting the route from the Garmin, and not look at the GPS map. These challenges are a lot of fun if you try to fly them from the notes + the non-GPS map from the top bar. Feel free to play them however you like though.
I'm about halfway through the Patagonia one, and the descriptions are not particularly good. Lots of references to stuff that you can't know (placenames etc). If the map had placenames on and the plane didn't show its own location on the Garmin... they'd be ok
@@williamstrachan i agree. I pulled up google maps on my second monitor to use alongside. helped a lot but I still got a good challenge feel from following visual cues in game with roads and rivers.
@@williamstrachan I agree that the descriptions alone are not enough, but they give you the compass heading as well in the notes. Those two combined are good enough to let me complete them. That said, I have had instances where I had to circle over an area 1 or 2 times to figure it out.
Both the last two Bush Trips give you a full glass cockpit and I was quite disappointed because it's meant to be a VFR challenge. With GPS you can just look at the in-game VFR map (which you are supposed to use) and compare the map with your GPS display so it's quite pointless. The Yosemite one is proper VFR but the scenery wasn't so great (desert, basically). Another issue is that there are very few aircrafts in the Standard Edition that doesn't have a glass cockpit with all the fancy 3D synthetic vision, which makes both VFR and IFR way too easy and not challenging at all!
You know, if I'm flying as a passenger and I hear the pilot say: "hmm, I'm concerned about those hills, I'm not sure how high to fly", I'll probably be looking for a parachute. J/K, great video as always!
How to adjust the heading bug precisely when using the Honeycomb Yoke: To adjust the heading bug by 10’s, use the mouse wheeel. To adjust it by 1’s, use the right mouse button.
I have done only this first leg of the balkans trip, and haven't started the patagonia trip. But I did the entire sierra nevada trip, and I highly recommend starting with that one for anyone watching who's interested. No GPS or autopilot, so you really get a feel for what the game is probably going for (I wouldn't even say "realistic VFR flying" - honestly the most enjoyable way to do it is flying with an exterior camera), and the savage cub is an extremely friendly plane for that. Of course it would be fun to see Squirrel or anyone else with real world VFR experience tackle these using real world charts and the like, but I found the trip to be just a very relaxing way to take in the scenery from an exterior view. Also a note of caution to Squirrel or anyone else just starting these, at least when I did it there was no obvious way to refuel. I had to bind a key for "repair and refuel" or somesuch to use in the middle of the trip. The game seems to save the state of your aircraft between legs (including if you quit mid-leg; it'll resume midair until you then manually restart the leg) so it doesn't ever refill the tanks, and at least so far it doesn't seem as if ground services function on the bush trips as they do elsewhere, which I assume isn't quite intended. That said these trips seem to be a wonderful concept and I can't wait to see if they add more, or if third party creators are able to add them with similar fidelity.
Yeah, I ran out of fuel mid trip in Arizona. Had to hunt in the options for refueling, and it felt a bit like cheating. In the future I hope ground services are working in the bush trips and they remind you to use them in the notes. Here's hoping for homebrew VFR routes soon.
I have flown the first leg of this trip and the entire Sierra Nevada trip (which I also highly recommend). About the fuel. I ran into the same issue. The ground services do not function on the bush trips, so pulling up to a fuel pump does not give you the option to fuel up. To get around this, I also bound a key for "repair and refuel" (I used alt-f). I added realism back into it by only using it when I was at a fueling station - and not every stop had one. That made me be conscience of my fuel levels at all times. It seemed to work well for me. As for the Sierra Nevada trip, it was definitely an excellent trip with a great finale. Highly recommended.
@@yannisl8259 I used to live in Rijeka, although it's airport is on the Krk island while the city is on the mainland. Still, I passed by that airport innumerable times and it looks impressively well done in flight sim.
I really like this, it's a pretty neat little like "quest" do do in the simulator. i wonder how many of these there are and if they plan to keep adding more in the future.
zengrath Currently there are 3: One in California/Nevada, one in Patagonia, and one in the Balkans. I’m having a lot of fun with them. I hope more will be added (either by Asobo or 3rd parties / community) as well. In the pilot profile it shows more than 3 in the counter for the maximum, but that may be a bug.
@@john-alanpascoe5848 yep, that's a bug. When you haven't completed any legs, it shows as 0/3 (which is correct), but as soon as you complete a leg, it adds all the legs as trips in the counter, which is obviously wrong :)
In a recent interview they mentioned that they want to do more in the future. They explained it in the way that they'll keep improving areas of the world by taking real world 45° aerial images and increasing the number of handcrafted airports and whenever they have finished improving the scenerie of a larger area somewhere in the world they might do events / quests like the bush trips to guide people through the updated sceneries. Personally I think that's a very good plan and a good idea to keep it interesting even for people that might not be hardcore sim players. The interview was on the Gamestar channel but it's in German. They also gave little hints that they're working on something with voice input / recognition or similar. I'm wondering if we'll be able to speak to the ATC by voice at some point. Maybe something Iike VATSIM, but with the computer ATC / voice recognition. I think that should be possible because the phrases are usually always very similarly structures so only the different accents could be a problem. Considering the later Xbox launch it would make even more sense because those players can't use the cool mods / add-ons like VATSIM.
You did a great job. The challenge was much harder than it had to be due to lack of a decent VFR chart. You made a comment about what appeared to be a man-made canal not being straight. The reason that they are designed to meander is to reduce the velocity of the water flow. This lessens bank erosion and makes a better wildlife habitat. Near where I live, there is a creek that was "straightened out" in the 70's. Now the local government is spending a small fortune to put it back the way it was. :)
I'm currently on leg 8 of that bush trip and, from what I gathered, the gps does get you to the destination airport, but it sometimes skips some of the visual cues the game gives you and does a more direct route.
It was good to see I'm not the only one sometimes befuddled by the textual descriptions. These are even more fun when no GPS is available (i.e. in the Savage Cub), and also more enjoyable lower down. I like staying around 700-1000 above the ground. Great view from there.
You should try going over Greece, but this time not from something like Athens to Lemnos, but go from Crete to Peloponnese, to Central Greece, to North Greece and so on. You will see gorgeous landscapes, vast mountains, coastlines, islands, and just incredible diversity of land. Because if you look at the map of Greece it has a incredibly complex geography and topography and 80% mountains. 20% of all of Europe's ultra peak mountains lies in Greece. Ultra peak mountains are mountains that rise more than 1500 meters above it's lowest surrounding area
Great video Squirrel keep em coming. I mostly enjoy the narration, it’s like I’m there sitting with you. Amazing job.. appreciate your efforts. I’m enjoying the new sim also.
Awesome video! Just a note, you can use the VFR Map, but just don't click on the button to "Get me back on track" within the VFR mini map to earn achievements. The mini map shows all roads, so following them is easy this way. Great series to have btw.
Thanks for the vids mate.....Always love to see your vids & you do show in detail on all all vids....Hope to see you continue on the bush trips thank you so much.....Romeo
the island you flew over at the start is Krk, which is better known to players of Operation Flashpoint (and/or users of ArmA 3's Cup terrain addon) as Everon.
Yea matey. Do them all if you wish! I'm on the Patagonia Bush trip in a Cub so no easy Garmin steer for me 😜 Love this Sim, waited years for something this good. Once patched up it will be the very best.
Started this morning... this was fun and breathtaking! Thanks again for your awesome tutorials. I really learned the basic of sim flying!! I hope you continu the series! Cheers!
Just wanted to say, I've been enjoying your channel since just before official release! I'm just waiting on my custom system to arrive so I can download FS...I'm salivating at the bush missions and remote flying in general! Keep them coming!
loved this video you make it look so easy I would be a bag of nerves looking for stuff. I will try this now you have taught me the basics of flying and auto pilot :)
I did the American bush trip over the Sierra Nevada and totally over flew the airstrips a few times before I realized it was broken into small legs lol.
Just flew this, Ive probably only got about 10 hours experience 8). I did rely heavily on the autopilot for navigation on this leg, matching it with the navlog so I could understand what it was all trying to say. I think the hardest part was once I spotted the airfield, I turned, and lost it completely. Hahahah, had to climb out again and cross over the waypoint marker to pick it up again visually.
Otocac Airport? That's a field!!!!! LOL!!!! I haven't tried these yet but definitely plan to soon. No reference to go by? That has to be an understatement!
I love bush trips. The directions are always fun to try and follow if you dont know the area. To really get the most out of it and do it the way a bush trip usually is, dont look at or care about map markers and dont follow a line. Just look outside and find the visual description of the places and things and use the stopwatch. A map is ok but bush trips are a special kind of VFR where its basically all by looking out the window. EDIT: also the descriptions arent great because they rely on place names. Use a map on your tablet or something to find those if you need it but it really is fun to navigate by directions like "follow the path until a large bridge and then turn north along the cliff side for 4min until you see a town to your east." Real one by people that know the area are much more descriptive of the landscape and what you see with very little name usage.
@@speedyfpv7104 Go to Control settings, change filter to all, search for 'repair and refuel', then bind it to a key. I used F12. I read somewhere that the refueling is supposed to happen automatically when stationary at an airfield, but that never worked for me.
Clicking on the Heading Bug (when left-right Arrow appears) will in-/decrease it in single steps, when you use the mouse wheel it's in-/decreasing 10° steps. Whoever thought this would be a good idea :D
@@emjay2207 My bad, I confused the 172 with another plane, but I checked in game and both clicking and mouse wheel have a 1º increment for me, not sure why.
@@JotaFaD Well, have you got a Honeycomb Yoke? FS only seems to behave like that for us HC users. Supposedly for all the switches constantly giving off "button pressed" signals. I can confirm, though, that the mouse click solution does work. I'm using that, as well.
Just done this leg, landet perfectly, hit parking break - sim brakes in 1001 pieces - ok, lets do it again! Thanks for flying these, helps the newcomers a lot (although, AP flies it on its own, if you let it) edit: it let me continue with leg 2 of the trip, so the crash was not that bad edit: and again after 2nd leg, crash to desktop without hitting parking brake this time, just came to a standstill, crash - bit annoying
Currently using a honeycomb yoke as well, and I've found that in the 172, the heading bug adjusts at 10 degrees for scroll wheel and if you want accurate change you need to left mouse click on the left or right portion of the knob. I much prefer this system over the janky "aim for base" to adjust larger portions over smaller, always ends up with me zooming instead of adjusting the dial.
A "High North of Canada" Bush Tour would be a great addition. Flying in and out of small hamlets and villages or weather stations north of the 60th parallel. Just a suggestion. 😉
I am on leg 5 of a different bush trip for my youtube playthrough. Before you take off on each trip, I recommend you read each leg of it so you can follow along easier. Also, the v key vfr map does work. Don't try to follow the line as drawn on the map, it isn't accurate. But it is better than nothing.
Croatia is lovely, would certainly recommend visiting. I expect next legs of the trip will also guide you through Montenegro around Boka Kotorska, that's also an amazing place. Might do this trip myself, I was planning to do some flying in this part of Croatia anyway (Hvar, Pelješac, Korčula, Biokovo).
If you continue doing those bush trips, be aware, that the aircraft burns fuel obviously and it is not refuelled at each leg. At one point you have to refuel manually by assigning a key on your keyboard to the setting „repair and refuel“. Just a tip, because I ran out of fuel 😂
HI there, Love your channel, keep up the excellent work. There is a VFR map , just choose it from the menu in the center top. As for the heading bug, you can change it in single increments, by clicking the bug instead of scrolling for increments of 10 deg.
If youput the AP in NAV mode, it will follow the route for you. I didthr first 3 legs fully manual, not even alt hold. It was a pain,bcs I was constantly reading the descriptions and checkong vfr map and airplane location. When i started doing the gps (nav mode) i had a much nicer time bcs I was looking more at the views, althoug I get that that's not the way be navigated
Hi Squirrel! Love the channel! I just finished this entire Bush Trip a few days ago. If you're planning to do the whole 7+ hour 16-leg trip, I found a small "bug" in the leg 13, Kopaida Dimitra Airport. It's the final grass runway you land on. On the last Point Of Interest entry for the Airport (11, I believe) The picture of the airfield isn't correct. The strip is actually one "block" further "south" from the perspective of the Point Of Interest picture. I've already submitted a bug report for this so maybe it will be in next week's patch. Until it's fixed, go to Bing Maps, search for "Skydive Athens, Kopaida Airfield, Athens, Greece," and you will see the airfield in relation to the incorrect picture in the sim. It will be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Hope this helps you and your viewers. Happy flying!
I also use the honeycomb but this is working for me: when you are adjusting your heading bug: Using the mouse scroll wheel will increase / decrease by 10 degree. But if you click on your left mouse key while hovering over the bug, you can adjust your heading in single degrees. :)
Love these little activities they've included. Really hope they add more scenarios/missions like they had in FSX
Hopefully once the autopilot is fixed they’ll add things like Limited options from FSX
yes they will. they have a lot ideas for MSFS2020 like more scenarios and add ons (probably some will cost you a bit money). There is an interview (IN GERMAN) where one of the developers talking about the future of the Simulator. If you understand german ^^ you can have a look on the german youtube channel of GameStar, they have a lot of videos right now because of Gamescom and there you will find the Interview :)
If you look at your pilot achievements, they are adding a lot. The bush flights total number went up to 24 instead of the original 3.
I hope that add a glider
It would be nice to have some tricky scenarios, like rescue missions or firefighters (if they add those CL-415)
Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who found the written directions ambiguous.
I really enjoyed that @Squirrel. II didnt reakise how hard it would beto spot landings while bush flying, you nailed, more legs on the bush flying please!
15:35 "Can't see a thing, but it looks great..." - Story of my life, man.
This one was great, it was hilarious listening to your Croatian pronunciations, theyre pretty hard.
Just a quick tip, for the next leg of this trip, in Croatian C is pronounced TS, and C with a little thong
on top Č is pronounced like CH. So Gacka River is Gatska and Otočac is Otochats.
And J is Y, so Senj is pronaunced as Seny
"Radio Shack!" Love It!!
Also Šilo, where Š = sh, and it should be pronounced more like "shee-lo"
Tsroatia?

Hey Squirrel, these are supposed to be full VFR trips, without GPS. The first one (Arizona-Yosemity) doesn't give any information (you're flying the Savage Cub).
I'm really not sure why they provided a 172 with the entire route pre-programmed into the GPS for the Balkans one.
Right now you're spending 80% of your time watching your nav instruments instead of looking outside for the VFR cues (and the best views you'll get on these trips). Would have made more sense if they gave you the 152 for this one.
For the best experience/enjoyment I advise deleting the route from the Garmin, and not look at the GPS map. These challenges are a lot of fun if you try to fly them from the notes + the non-GPS map from the top bar.
Feel free to play them however you like though.
amen to that. I really enjoyed the arizona trip, no modern instruments :)
I'm about halfway through the Patagonia one, and the descriptions are not particularly good. Lots of references to stuff that you can't know (placenames etc). If the map had placenames on and the plane didn't show its own location on the Garmin... they'd be ok

@@williamstrachan I agree that the descriptions alone are not enough, but they give you the compass heading as well in the notes. Those two combined are good enough to let me complete them.

Pressing V pulls up your VFR chart they intend for you to use with the bush trips. No GPS position but has your routing on it.
Yeah I took advantage of the in cockpit map alongside the vfr map to double check where I was going.
Why didn’t he just read the instructions properly at the beginning. I found the video quite frustrating to watch!
You know, if I'm flying as a passenger and I hear the pilot say: "hmm, I'm concerned about those hills, I'm not sure how high to fly", I'll probably be looking for a parachute. J/K, great video as always!

I don't care for dead reckoning in this GPS era so I've been watching these videos while I do the flights. Thanks!
Loved this! Please do continue!
Very good video. Greetings from Croatia. :-)
oj :)
so cool being on holiday with my parents in Senj many years ago. Now I flew over it. Brings back good memories
FYI, the headings and minutes are as the crows flies between the waypoints, whereas the directions in the nav logs are meant to be followed visually.
I'm currently on leg 8 of that bush trip and, from what I gathered, the gps does get you to the destination airport, but it sometimes skips some of the visual cues the game gives you and does a more direct route.

the last half of this bush trip does go over a lot of that part of greece, pretty much skipping all of the well known areas

This is like we're looking over your shoulder in the plane ☺
Great video Squirrel keep em coming. I mostly enjoy the narration, it’s like I’m there sitting with you. Amazing job.. appreciate your efforts. I’m enjoying the new sim also.
Love your stuff, Squirrel. I always pick up tips and tricks from your videos. You're a great instructor; been watching since the DayZ mod days.
12:30 I've been down that valley IRL. Krk island has a beautiful, varied landscape.
Beautiful Croatia! Great quest!
Awesome video! Just a note, you can use the VFR Map, but just don't click on the button to "Get me back on track" within the VFR mini map to earn achievements. The mini map shows all roads, so following them is easy this way. Great series to have btw.

Great video, mate! Would definitely like to see more bush flying in the future.
Great. Really enjoyed that. I had done it previously and some of the mistakes I made you nearly did. Love it
You did a heck of a lot better at following the instructions on that first leg than I did. It took me 3 or 4 legs to get the hang of it lol.
As a croatian I had a good laugh with those pronunciations. Keep it coming!
You remind me if TheRunningManZ so chilled and relaxed! A pleasure to listen and watch
Started this morning... this was fun and breathtaking! Thanks again for your awesome tutorials. I really learned the basic of sim flying!! I hope you continu the series! Cheers!
Great, can’t wait to watch the rest of the legs
Definitely enjoyed that!
Cool mate, can’t wait for the next leg
Glad to finally see someone doing the bush trips!
Huge thanks for this video and all the tips, can't wait to try this myself.

I'd happily put up with changing in 10° increments if I had a honeycomb. Those look so nice.
I was into it! I was totally ready to watch the second leg and the 12 or whatever after that.
Fun one. Hope you continue. I have found the Arizona-Yosemite one very challenging, too challenging for me so far.
Really good congrats. I was following on Google maps and you were pretty spot on most of the way. love to see more.
That was really fun to watch.. more of this please.

Love the Bush trips! I hope Navigraph adds VFR sectionals to MSFS. Would be awesome to bring that up on Navigraph Charts.
Amazing. Can't wait to give this a go.
Super cool idea of them to implement this!
Love it! Looking forward to the next trip.
Good job finding that air run way I spotted it same time you did hard to see
Enjoyed it very much, please continue this!
Interesting and realistic. Fun but also would be very educational to do
really like this style of flight!
I did the American bush trip over the Sierra Nevada and totally over flew the airstrips a few times before I realized it was broken into small legs lol.
Fun to watch. I want more!!
Just flew this, Ive probably only got about 10 hours experience 8). I did rely heavily on the autopilot for navigation on this leg, matching it with the navlog so I could understand what it was all trying to say. I think the hardest part was once I spotted the airfield, I turned, and lost it completely. Hahahah, had to climb out again and cross over the waypoint marker to pick it up again visually.
Otocac Airport? That's a field!!!!! LOL!!!! I haven't tried these yet but definitely plan to soon.
No reference to go by? That has to be an understatement!
I love bush trips. The directions are always fun to try and follow if you dont know the area. To really get the most out of it and do it the way a bush trip usually is, dont look at or care about map markers and dont follow a line. Just look outside and find the visual description of the places and things and use the stopwatch. A map is ok but bush trips are a special kind of VFR where its basically all by looking out the window.
EDIT: also the descriptions arent great because they rely on place names. Use a map on your tablet or something to find those if you need it but it really is fun to navigate by directions like "follow the path until a large bridge and then turn north along the cliff side for 4min until you see a town to your east." Real one by people that know the area are much more descriptive of the landscape and what you see with very little name usage.
I've just finished the Patagonia one, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope more trips will be added either by MS or 3rd parties.
I was unable to refuel on the patagonia trip. where did you refuel?
@@speedyfpv7104 Go to Control settings, change filter to all, search for 'repair and refuel', then bind it to a key. I used F12. I read somewhere that the refueling is supposed to happen automatically when stationary at an airfield, but that never worked for me.
@@MrGUYSTYLAZ omg bro! I flew for over 6 hrs!
I cannot wait til I get home and give this a try.... I can see the 3'rd or 4th sortie being very interesting due to beer....
Clicking on the Heading Bug (when left-right Arrow appears) will in-/decrease it in single steps, when you use the mouse wheel it's in-/decreasing 10° steps. Whoever thought this would be a good idea :D
There is an inner and outer knob, depending which one you position the mouse over the increment will be 1º or 10º
José Paulo no, the Heading Bug is a Single Knob, real sure
@@emjay2207 My bad, I confused the 172 with another plane, but I checked in game and both clicking and mouse wheel have a 1º increment for me, not sure why.
@@JotaFaD Well, have you got a Honeycomb Yoke? FS only seems to behave like that for us HC users. Supposedly for all the switches constantly giving off "button pressed" signals. I can confirm, though, that the mouse click solution does work. I'm using that, as well.
Thomas Dreiling it does exactly the same with my Thrustmaster Warthog
Just done this leg, landet perfectly, hit parking break - sim brakes in 1001 pieces - ok, lets do it again! Thanks for flying these, helps the newcomers a lot (although, AP flies it on its own, if you let it)
edit: it let me continue with leg 2 of the trip, so the crash was not that bad
edit: and again after 2nd leg, crash to desktop without hitting parking brake this time, just came to a standstill, crash - bit annoying
I am from Split, Croatia. very good video
I enjoy doing these then coming here to see how you did it.
And this is what this sim excels at right now. VFR.
That was fun to watch.
on the heading, mouse scroll wheel for 10 degrees and mouse click for 1 degree.
lower left on the screen is the route line for the trip and shows your planes gps on the tiny map!!
Currently using a honeycomb yoke as well, and I've found that in the 172, the heading bug adjusts at 10 degrees for scroll wheel and if you want accurate change you need to left mouse click on the left or right portion of the knob. I much prefer this system over the janky "aim for base" to adjust larger portions over smaller, always ends up with me zooming instead of adjusting the dial.
A "High North of Canada" Bush Tour would be a great addition. Flying in and out of small hamlets and villages or weather stations north of the 60th parallel. Just a suggestion. 😉
I am on leg 5 of a different bush trip for my youtube playthrough. Before you take off on each trip, I recommend you read each leg of it so you can follow along easier. Also, the v key vfr map does work. Don't try to follow the line as drawn on the map, it isn't accurate. But it is better than nothing.
the only bush trip worth to go, and the only one i finished
That was really fun. thanks :)
WAS REALLY GOOD - next please
I finished the one in the Zlin yesterday, amazing views. Without GPS. Took me about 11 Hours.
I wish you'd continue these bush trips.
That was interesting. Cant wait to see you takle the rest of them :)
Even with a honeycomb yoke you can mouse click heading bug in 1 degree increment...love your croatian...
Nice Landing!
Croatia is lovely, would certainly recommend visiting. I expect next legs of the trip will also guide you through Montenegro around Boka Kotorska, that's also an amazing place.
Might do this trip myself, I was planning to do some flying in this part of Croatia anyway (Hvar, Pelješac, Korčula, Biokovo).
pretty cool, i’m gonna have to start one of those sets
If you continue doing those bush trips, be aware, that the aircraft burns fuel obviously and it is not refuelled at each leg. At one point you have to refuel manually by assigning a key on your keyboard to the setting „repair and refuel“.
Just a tip, because I ran out of fuel 😂
GPS coordinates now work on the map menu, u can put any coordinates and get custom waypoint
HI there, Love your channel, keep up the excellent work. There is a VFR map , just choose it from the menu in the center top. As for the heading bug, you can change it in single increments, by clicking the bug instead of scrolling for increments of 10 deg.
If youput the AP in NAV mode, it will follow the route for you. I didthr first 3 legs fully manual, not even alt hold. It was a pain,bcs I was constantly reading the descriptions and checkong vfr map and airplane location. When i started doing the gps (nav mode) i had a much nicer time bcs I was looking more at the views, althoug I get that that's not the way be navigated
Hi Squirrel! Love the channel! I just finished this entire Bush Trip a few days ago. If you're planning to do the whole 7+ hour 16-leg trip, I found a small "bug" in the leg 13, Kopaida Dimitra Airport. It's the final grass runway you land on. On the last Point Of Interest entry for the Airport (11, I believe) The picture of the airfield isn't correct. The strip is actually one "block" further "south" from the perspective of the Point Of Interest picture. I've already submitted a bug report for this so maybe it will be in next week's patch. Until it's fixed, go to Bing Maps, search for "Skydive Athens, Kopaida Airfield, Athens, Greece," and you will see the airfield in relation to the incorrect picture in the sim. It will be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Hope this helps you and your viewers. Happy flying!
I also use the honeycomb but this is working for me: when you are adjusting your heading bug: Using the mouse scroll wheel will increase / decrease by 10 degree. But if you click on your left mouse key while hovering over the bug, you can adjust your heading in single degrees. :)
