*** REQUIRES JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT VERSION 8 OR NEWER ***

The tool generates all the directories and files needed, including default single color images, to compile a bush mission, landing challenge or discovery flight. Supply your own Bing Maps or Goole Maps API key and you will get nicer images! The input file is a single text or XLSX file containing waypoint names, coordinates, generic mission data, nav log texts, etc. It can be generated by the tool from an existing flight plan (PLN file exported from Little Navmap) or from a sample file. Waypoints can also be read from a Little Navmap file (.LNMPLN) where navlog texts are present in the comments. There are many options to use to trigger failures, warnings, play WAV files or TTS and much more. Now even airport/runway creation is included! See the manual for information about how to use BMG and all its possibilites.

Please contribute by sending bug reports and feature requests. BMG is totally free to use and no registration is necessary! But if you want to donate money, buy me a couple of beers or even give me a copy of your creation would be highly appreciated and motivating. Especially if you create successful payware. Look for the PayPal link or use a Revolut transfer (revolut.me/f99mlu).

Great tool! How do I get the BMG to show taxi ribbon. I have included command in the "all" and enableTaxiRibbon, but still the ribbon fails to show up. Is this an issue with MSFS?

Again. Thanks for the great work!

Hi f99mlu. I'm already getting pretty familiar with your awesome tool and my glider landing challenge is progressing steadily. However, I do have a few questions and am bold enough to ask 4 at once.

1: Is it true that the leader board does not work after the challenge has been assessed?

2: I am trying to use the function "multi-plane project" and have entered plane=AS-33me|-LS4 for the parameter. However, only a challenge is created for the AS-33me. How should I deal with this?

3: Is it possible to move the landing area (blue square symbol) to another place on the runway? I've been experimenting with the coordinates of the last line but that doesn't seem to work.

4: Can I place multiple photos at the briefing. Like a Bush trip?

I hope you don't mind me asking 4 questions right away.....

Thank you very much.

just started using your fantastic program and within two days of never ever doing anything like this posted four challenges for others to try but unfortunately I have had to do a harddrive swop and now since upgrading to latest version I keep getting an error every time I try to compile its says the package file doesn't exist here's a screen shot any help would be greatly appreciated

provided project definition file does not exist

Thanks Paul x

Hi, thanks for the very nice tool! I am struggling with the sdkpath:

Escaping the colon (as it is about java properties?) is done like that:

C\:\<rest of the path>?

Because even doing that, I get the "Compiler not found on any drive"-error.

I have installed the SDK in this path:

C:\Data\Tools\FS_SDKs\MSFS2020SDK\MSFS2020_SDK_0.17\Tools\bin

And this is my full row in the inputfile:

sdkPath=C\:\Data\Tools\FS_SDKs\MSFS2020SDK\MSFS2020_SDK_0.17\Tools\bin\fspackagetool.exe

After downloading november update MSFS, all bush trips generated with BushMissionGen appear disabled in MSFS, although still present in community folder. Any work around?

Hi mate, thanks again for another update. Is there any way to show the users score? They show up with a score of 0

The perfect tool for making bush trips! I am having a great time creating new routes for the community thanks to this add-on!!!

PilotFelix9640

First, thank you so much! This software is amazing. Everything works perfectly for me - except one question. I'm creating a landing challenge and for some reason, the landing zone point is at the opposite end of the runway! If I say KAAA|5|KAAA|A|..., the landing zone is at the 23 end of the runway and vice versa. I wouldn't mind but the briefing screen indicates that the landing runway is 23 for example, when the point is placed on five. How can I fix this?

Gray1223

Thank you for the nice tool!.
I want to trigger a persistent warning message (for example, turn landing lights on) whenever the aircraft has the landing lights off, is "in the air", and is inside the airport trigger area regardless of the heading.
-Seems like the 'dialogEntry=' field works with a given heading...
-Seems like I need to combine withthe field 'formulaWarning=' Turn on landing light.#(A:LIGHT LANDING, Bool) 0 &gt... Thanks in advance

First of all congratulate him and thank him for his work.
The problem I have is that with the latest version, both of its program and Java, downloaded all today, does not open the Bushmision.Jar.
Any ideas?

just created my first landing challenge, faily easy to use watching Flying Thestons tutorial on youtube

cptdev

When following the readme, for multiple planes for people to choose from, I can use for example: plane=Cessna 152 Asobo|-c152,Cessna Skyhawk G1000 Asobo|-c172,DA40-NG Asobo|-da40
This doesn't work, as when I click on compile, it still asks me to select one of the planes? 😞

2 months ago

That is as intended. You must compile a bush mission for each plane. BR, f99mlu

Hunter555

Another question 😉
Why does my bush trip end up in user content instead of the list of actual bush missions? Am I even able to have it in the list of bush missions without requiring to sell it on a marketplace?

Because your stuff is was not downloaded from the Market Place I guess. Add-ons you manually put inthe Community folder ends up under custom content. BR,f99mlu

wow this is awesome, thanks man!
how do i create a new line(s) for the intro text though ?
For example:

Instead of:

Version 1 of Bushtrip Spain. Welcome to Spain, the country of blabla...

have it shown like:

Version 1 of Bushtrip Spain

Welcome to Spain, the country of blabla...

Thank you for your comment and for liking BushMissionGen :). Please try by using normal HTML stuff.. like for new line. intro=hi therethis is on a separate linethis too. BR, f99mlu

Hi peg! I think I need to see your BushMissionGen input file (text file) with all your info. Would it be possible to send it to me in a private message here on flightsim.to? BR, f99mlu

Hi there. Just a quick question - is the .loc file in the source localization folder meant to compile into the final mission and be present in the missions folder, or is it only for reference by the compiler? All of my newer bush trips have no .loc file present (but they work OK anyway). I have 1 user who can't see the latest version of my bush trips and was wondering if that might cause an issue.

6 months ago

Hi gamer! Thanks for your post. Well.. the .loc file should be in the localization folder nowadays and not where the FLT/XML/weather files are present when you have generated the files. Then when you compile you should get .locPak files in the "root" folder where manifest.json and layout.json are. And a .loc file next to the FLT/SPB/PLN/weather.

I'm having a problem getting a WAV files to play to the end. Using the dialogEntry field name, the WAV file will begin as expected, but after getting into the audio a bit it simply stops. Any ideas?

Hi again Dave! I hope you saw my answer to your PM about the plane name. Regarding your WAV issues, I just cannot understand how that can happen. There is nothing in the generated files which states the duration of the WAV to be played. So it should played until the end. Maybe I ask how many seconds the sound IS playing.. and how many seconds the WAV really is? BR, f99

I'm sure this is a good tool, if you are very familiar with Java. If you don't speak Java, like me, it will likely be very frustrating.

Hi Fer!

Sadly we have very little (read: no) influence on the leader board. It is only supported in the official MSFS/Asobo landing challenges. Not your own 3rd party ones.
Well.. this is the format to use: plane=Cessna 152 Asobo|-c152,Cessna Skyhawk G1000 Asobo|-c172,DA40-NG Asobo|-da40 . Please see the manual.
Nah, I don´t think so. There is not much control we have when it comes to that stuff.
Not sure what you mean, but I have a feeling the answer is no. Landing challenges are in fact different from bush mission in the way that there is only one "leg".

Finally I have BushMissionGen working! Thank you for your support.

I followed the instructions of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jz66u-KNq8&t=316s and after "Generate" I get the error message:

The fields

latitude=

longtitude=

altitude=

should be set to the same values as you first waypoint (CUST0) to avoid any issues and error messages in the sim.

I filled in the last lines as follows (just like in the video):

#icao rw name type LL alt

||CUST0|U|N52° 28' 20.37",E6° 18' 2.32"|+000411.05

||CUST1|U|N52° 28' 20.37",E6° 18' 2.32"|+000411.05

||CUST2|U|N52° 28' 21.12",E6° 20' 55.66"|+000303.76

||CUST3|U|N52° 28' 3.76",E6° 20' 56.44"|+000208.23

EHDS|27|EHDS|A|N52° 28' 4.53",E6° 19' 58.21"|+000013.00

After compile I get the same error again.

After completing the procedure, all files will be present just like in the video.

Unfortunately, my Landing Challenge is not visible in the sim.....

Where can it go wrong in my method?

Thnx, Fer

Hi Fer! Can you please send the complete contents of the BushMissionGen input file (the file you have edited and contains your landing challenge coordinates and stuff) in a private message, please? BR f99mlu

Hi, here's my input file, which compiles, but gives an error in MSFS2020 when loading it:

The error is:

syntax error on line 47 of aybb-aytr.loc:

When I edited the line

location=S5°16'6.55",E142°5'48.27"

location=-5.267888,142.094378, the problem was solved.

Wow thanks for mentioning my Malta Landing Challenge, been busy playing with changing weather and getting some great effects will post lots more Challenges to share very soon . I have been trying to add sound but struggling any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated / Thanks again for a fantastic program Paul x x x x x

Best thing is if you send me a pm link to your files (put in DropBox or Google Drive) and can have a look at them and try them out. BR, f99mlu

A BIIIIIIG thank you to everyone who has contacted me in the recent months regarding anything! I love to help you out with support issues and of course also receiving new ideas to improve BushMissionGen. And! Thank you to all of you who donated and/or sent me a copy of your creation!! I love this community and how kind you all are. Best regards, f99mlu

There are some simple improvements that will help:

when stating there's a duplicate attribute, how about showing the line where the error is detectyed, or even the line?
My screen gets messed up after a while. Maximizing the window helps, but only temporarily.
A sample mission compiles and becomes visible, but my own mission used to work, now compiles correctly, but does not show up in custom missions anymore. This is even when choosing to overwrite.
