Balkans Bushtrip: Leg Not Registering & Trip now incompleteable & incorrect airport spawn [Screenshots]

FYI, the Balkans Bush Trip that I created with Bushtripinjector also gets stuck at LANO. My guess is that there is a problem with the LANO airport. after SU 8. Perhaps it’s geo location got deleted in SU 8 or as someone else stated, “the airport is now closed” so the leg will not register as complete. Also, if you try to create a flight plan by going to the “World Map” from the MSFS 2020 “Welcome” tab, LANO or Aeroporti i Mifoit doesn’t show up in the search. Neither does an airport type icon show up when you zoom to the location on the “World Map” where LANO should be. It appears that LANO just disappears in SU 8.

I think I could make the Bushtripinjector flight plan work by changing LANO to a POI and making leg 8 a long leg going from LATI to LGKR.

Confirm also, bugged at LANO, Same issue as above posts.

-I thought removing the NXI G1000 from content manager may solve it, but that is NOT the case.
-A quick search HERE does show LANO as being closed as mentioned above, so maybe it’s been removed from the latest NAVDATA update and doesn’t register a landing at LANO?
-Landing and stopping at LANO, then flying next leg to LKGR does not allow progress for this BT.
-Completion of Leg 8 is the last registered leg.

-Note the Garnin map does not show LANO on default or NXI but VFR map does?

Yep I think this is the issue right here.

Also confirming that even after clearing bush trip files on PC, the trip still gets stuck at LANO.

I mainly want to get this finished because I never did it to get the achievement before lol. Always something.

Hi,
the LANO airport is marked as closed at MSFS. I’ve just created an airport in DevMode based on LANO without the closed flag. Everything else is the same as original in MSFS.

Download the attached “PLN” file (it is a zip, but cannot upload zip here), rename it to ZIP (make sure, extensions are visible in windows explorer), unzip it and copy the folder buffygc-airport-lano-novosele to your community folder.

I do not know, if XBOX users have DevMode and can create mods. If so, follow those steps. If not. I’m sorry:

  1. DevMode - new Project
  2. Airport
  3. existing Airport LANO
  4. Add a content info thumbnail with correct size (chosse someone from existing, I’ve used one of my BTI)
  5. Build package.
  6. Enjoy working balkan bushtrip

I don’t want to guarantee it will work for everyone, but 3 independent tests by the BTI community have been successful.

Does that include unlocking the associated achievement as well?

If so I am just a bit wary of using modified trip files to unlock an official account achievement as this is typically against TOS for MS Account if I understand correctly (note - nothing wrong with the modified trip per se, I mean specifically modifying files to unlock an associated achievement here). I would rather have it resolved so that the achievement is properly unlockable without needing to “change” the trip on the user side. Some people had their flight hours reset for modifying sim files to unlock other achievements, such as the flight hours one for example.

Not checked the achievement because they are broken by other reasons… And also not changed the mission itself. It is only activating the airport again. Feel free to check it out by yourself.

Seems like a decent solution to me, although I suspect the use of dev mode will put quite a few people off. Well done BuffyGC.

Sorry just to clarify - the use of dev mode for Xbox users

#pcuser Great job, BuffyGC! After loading your folder into my community folder, as soon as I loaded leg 9 in which I had previously landed and was stuck with an “unchecked” status on the LANO runway, my status immediately changed to “Checked” and I was able to continue to Leg 10. Thanks so much for fixing the problem. I don’t really care about an achievement. I just wanted to be able to finish the Bush Trip and see the sites. I’m actually happy for the bug because I learned a lot about Little Navmap and found your wonderful program, BushTripInjector . I’m looking forward to making some of my own Bush Trips for friends. Thanks again for all your hard work and adding to the joy of playing MSFS 2020.

Still not working on Xbox after today’s updates!

That makes sense, this wasn’t a sim update or hotfix it was a world update. This won’t be fixed most likely until SU9 at earliest.

Same here. Tried multiple times to finish this leg but does not show the leg as completed.

For those of you on PC, I recommend BuffyGC’s mod above. Drop it in your community folder, load up the sim and “Continue” the Balkan’s trip. It will let you fly the next leg, and then you can pull the mod out of your community folder an never need to put it back…

Dear BuffyGC, thanks for the update. Your suggested fix works and during opening of leg 9 it now says leg completed and able to finish the trip.

Brillant and great support,

Kees

Hi BuffyGC, well spotted and a good fix. Certainly worked for me after 5 frustrating attempts at that leg landing in different spots on the runway!

GREAT. Just put the file in my community folder, started msfs, continued the flight while on the airstrip and YES: CHECKED!

Got me a tick in the box, onto the next leg and allowed me to complete the trip and get it recorded as 100% complete.

Thanks! It works for me as well and helped me to complete 9-th leg of Balkans bush trip. I had have to create thumbnail file manually.

I added in BuffyGC’s LANO airport into my Packages folder and completed the Balkans trip and my Steam MSFS 2020 paged indicated I earned the following achievement: Anemoi , Complete the Balkans Bush Trip, without using any navigation assistance.
