Brief description of the issue:

With Central Eastern Europe WU, only Czech Journey shows up in the menu. Also, only one landing challenge. File structures are there for all the missing Bush Trips and all are listed as Up To Date in Content Manager. Steam Client install. Uninstall sim via Steam and reinstalled from scratch. Funny thing, the progress is kept on the bush trips I have done. Also, all settings stayed. I did wipe out the AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator directory under User/jsmir… That’s where progress used to be saved for Bush Trips.

I just looked at PLN files for the ones that are missing? They call for those extra liveries I removed… Like Aviator Club and 01 etc… THAT might be the culprit. Gotta go download those and see if they show up. DIdn’t expect all those optional liveries to be a requirement for the bush trips.

Could explain why I also miss the “The Danube” bush trip. I also don’t have those ad liveries installed. I will check.

I don’t think it’s a great idea for Perfect Flight to require those stupid liveries. It was a 12 GB download for those dumb things that I’d never ever select while planning a solo flight. That should NOT be a requirement.

I’m running into the same issues. Missing 2 bush trips and 1 landing challenge, and I also removed those liveries (all the fictional FSX liveries and all the Aviators club liveries).

Can anyone list which aircraft/liveries are used on the new landing challenges and bush trips?

Good news, you can edit the .FLT files, and set that to a livery you want. Now you can start the bush trips without downloading those liveries.

Under [Sim.0]
I replaced
Sim=DA 62 Xbox Aviators Club Livery → Sim=DA 62 01 Livery
for one trip, and replaced
Sim=Asobo NXCub Aviators Club Livery → Sim=Asobo NXCub
for the other

Yeah, it’s still a shoddy practice though to require people to have those useless liveries. Now I have to make sure all of them are there in case future events rely on them. And it’s over 12 gigs of worthless liveries. Every WU adds 15-15 Gigs of stuff to your install nowadays and the main SSD drive where the Official folder is located isn’t infinite. I am starting to move aircraft like Local Legends and Famous Flyers into a separate directory and using Addon Linker to create hyperlinks for those in the official directory. Having all this extra junk bloats the main installation directory.

100% agree. Removed all the fictional Xbox liveries to free up HDD space, along with certain default aircraft that I don’t usually fly, and now am unable to download the latest world update. Surely the scenery content should be independent from the challenges and bush flights.
