Brief description of the issue:

On the 3rd Leg of the trip it shows going to NZWE but on the Garmin it is showing NZ17. When Landing there I don’t get the finished screen so not sure on how to finish without getting this fixed on this bush trip.

I noticed this on one of the New Zealand trips as well. Land where the Nav Log tells you to land, not where the GPS indicates. The GPS indicates one extra waypoint for that leg.

IIRC, you are following a highway (which itself is following a river) across a large flat valley of fields. The nav log tells you find an intersection of another highway that comes in from your left. The nav log puts you close to the runway but it is hard to see the grass runway in the fields; use the picture in the nav log to find the airport buildings in the scenery. If you are exactly on track by the GPS the buildings are directly in front of you and the runway starts immediately after you cross the intersecting highway.

The Nav Log says to land at NZWE Which does not exist. I’ve landed at NZ17 which shows same location. Picture on Nav Log also shows the same as where i landed But that is NZ17 not NZWE Which no longer exist. Thanks for trying to help but clearly there is a bug somewhere.

I have the same issue on this leg. (Neils Beach)

Hello All
Just a heads up. I believe there is a problem with Bush Trip New Zealand South Island Riverton to Takaka. Leg 3 in the NAV log says LEG destination is NZWE. The route on the VFR map shows it as NZ17 not NZWE. Upon arriving at NZ17/NZWE, it does not register as LEG COMPLETE. To bad, the scenery is beautiful.

New Zealand South Island Bush Trip, Leg 3. NZWE is no longer available in navdata, only NZ17. (Similar issue to the Balkans BT where an airport was removed) This prevents leg 3 being completed. Version 1.34.14.0 Other Info Additional: I had completed this BT when it was first released and it is 100% complete for me, however restarting this BT now, I can not pass Leg3.

OP & JudgedBug901129 have described it perfectly.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

It looks as if NZWE is actually Kauaroa Bay Heliport on the North Island.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes. I am unable to complete leg three of the NZ South Island bush trip in MSFS on PC (Steam).

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Normally while on a bush trip flight bringing the aircraft to a stop on the runway at the specified airfield completes the current leg. In this instance, though, stopping has no effect. I’ve tried stopping on the runway, on the taxiway, in the parking area, on the adjacent beach, and in several locations in the vicinity, but have been unable to complete the leg.

Same issue here!

Same issue as everyone else. Tried again today after SU13, still not fixed.

Same issue here. I’ve tried altering the raw bush trip files and replacing all instances of NZWE to NZ17, to no avail. The in-plane GPS nav log shows the correct airport but the bush trip still won’t complete. I also followed the GPS to the end of leg 4 (NZGT) in the hope it would complete leg 3 AND 4, but nope. There’s something hard coded in that needs to be fixed by the devs

Same issue here. :cry:

Same issue here

Looke like NZWE Niels Beach exists on the old https://fsxmap.com/, however it is no longer an active airport.

As the closest airport, I could recommend NZHT Haast Aerodrome.

Does anyone know which files need to be changed?
microsoft-bushtrip-southnz.FLT and/or microsoft-bushtrip-southnz.PLN?

(Hope it’s not microsoft-bushtrip-southnz.spb, because that one is binary… :roll_eyes: )

I have the issue (Steam). I even removed the bush trip completely and then I downloaded it again to restart completely fresh.
Unfortunately that didn’t help either :tired_face:
