MSFS 2024 PLN Files for 2020 Bush Trips – Try Them Out!

Last year, I built a website featuring navigation logs for MSFS 2020 bush trips, as I found the in-game nav logs took up too much screen space. Since then, I’ve been flying them using the logs on a tablet beside me. I was really excited for MSFS 2024 and its new bush trips, but I was disappointed to find none included. That got me thinking—since I already had code to extract nav log data, I could adapt it to create MSFS 2024 flight plans for the 2020 bush trips.

Over the weekend, I worked on this and managed to generate 2024 PLN files for those trips. I’ve added them to my site at the top of each bush trip page. Each download is a zip file containing a PLN file for every leg of the trip. If you’re interested, please give them a try and let me know if you run into any issues. You can find them here: https://msfsbushnavlog.com/

A few notes about the PLN files: I tested most of them on the online flight planner (https://planner.flightsimulator.com/). Some airports exist in MSFS 2024 but not in the planner. For those, the plans didn’t work in the planner but imported successfully into the EFB in-game.
Looking forward to your feedback!

The only one with issues loading into the EFB I have found is “Greenland Exploration”, because airport SU01 does not exist in MSFS 2024.

This is the best list of missing airports in the online flight planner I could come up with:

Great! I want them all! Is it possible to download them all in one single shot?

Great work!

I don’t have a download in a single shot option, but let me see what I can do.

Edit: well that didn’t take long. Here is a link to the post with all PLN files:

Fantastic, thank you very much! I’ve spent a lot of time doing that bush trips and for me has been also a loss not having them in 2024.

Best regards!

I’m still trying to figure out where to put .pln files in 24. Where?

At the bottom of the EFB there is a load . It can load it from anywhere there.

I’ve just started converting and am trying out my FS2020 bush trips in FS2024 (ones I created). Reports so far:

  • No navlog widget yet but the flightplan is showing in the EFB screen and on the avionics (at least on the DA62)
  • Bush trip leg completes as normal
  • No custom loading screen (map with blue route)
  • Engines are off when starting new leg
  • Can only view completed legs (and preview pictures) from the starting/selection screen

I’ll see what else I can find.

I have added the new World Update XIX: Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana bush trips to the site as well. On the all download page I have added a link with a zip of only the new plans.
