Thanks to this great application!
How ever, I just encountered a minor problem when playing some 3rd party bush trips, which made me having to fix the bush trip config files as a workaround. Seems bush trip manager doesn’t handle special characters quite well?
Would you please be kind enough to try importing bpic02-zyaj-zljq of this: https://flightsim.to/file/64734/beautiful-places-in-china
The problem is shown in the screenshot, a 0xA0 “space” char causes import failure.
Hey thanks for heads up. I already put various fixes around different bush trips structures. I came across similar issue with different community bush trip. Fix is on the way but currently I’m working on bigger update so will rollout all fixes at once. Please report any bush trip you had not importing either here or on discord its really helpful thanks

Hi Thanks for wonderful application. Downloaded recently and I am at still very early stage of exploring the application.
Just a thought, it will be cool if there is an option to directly download bush trips from flightsim.to. At the moment we have to download the bush trips manually prior to importing to Bush Trip Manager.
The Flow will be:
- List Bush Trips with the Description
- Option to Import
- Yes, Import. Now I don’t know whether this can be archived using an API call

Cheers.
Thanks for idea. That will be cool feature. I will need to explore if is possible to do it with flightsim.to (Integration API etc). If yes I will add it to roadmap 
I was looking also for way to integrate with BushTalkRadio but seems unfortunately they not offering any integration.
Thanks for taking the idea on-board. I am to happy to test drive during the development if necessary.
Cool. DM me when you are ready. I am in the IST (India Standard Time).
For Steam users, official bush trips are in this path and can be imported to Bush Trip Manager (BTM)
C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Official\Steam
Example directory: microsoft-bushtrip-california
Not, all the directories contain the word bushtrip is in correct Bush trip format 
The folder must have this format to work with BTM.
I loaded most of the Microsoft official bush trips to BTM.
@darth0dan It might be a good idea have a search button added to the app some stage. Thanks.
Hey thanks
Yeah search button is coming too and also bushtrip finder. Search around most likely locations to list bush trips to import. Also I need to look at future of general architecture. I perf tested it with 100 loaded bushtrips and was fine but I have fast SSD I may potentially make storage more efficient at some point. Quite a big roadmap ahead I hope during winter times will have more time for developing it.
Just got an unnatural feeling about BUSH TRIP itself: when I arrive at a certain waypoint, what I need to hear is the introduction to this very waypoint below, but what I got is info about the NEXT waypoint, while what was said before about current waypoint was simply forgotten… And this chasing game keeps going on and on, driving me mad and exhausted.
Maybe the logic below is more natural and better?:
- During the flight towards waypoint X, just display related info (works as an advance notice), and don’t play voice yet;
- Upon arriving waypoint X, play TTS voice now;
- After the voice is played, it’s good time to auto switch to next waypoint Y. And repeat step 1.
Hi,
Bush trip manager is not loading anymore!
Downloaded again and re-tried. Still not loading.
Recently I upgraded my PC to Windows 11 24H2. I have the feeling that BTM ran after the upgrade.
Any ideas on troubleshooting? Can’t see any log files.
From, Windows event manager =>
Application: BushTripManager.exe CoreCLR Version: 7.0.1023.36312 .NET Version: 7.0.10 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.ArgumentException: Cannot set voice. No matching voice is installed or the voice was disabled. at System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer.SelectVoice(String name) at BushTripManager.Services.Implementation.SpeechService.Init() in ./Services/Implementation/SpeechService.cs:line 45 at BushTripManager.Services.Implementation.SpeechService..ctor(ISettingsService config) in ./Services/Implementation/SpeechService.cs:line 30 at BushTripManager.App..ctor() in ./App.xaml.cs:line 33 at BushTripManager.App.Main() in ./obj/x64/Release/net7.0-windows/win-x64/App.g.cs:line 52
Strange.MSFS 2020, built-in checklist with the voice works. Also, I use Lorby’s Axis and OHS. This has functionality that use windows built-in voices. They work as well.
Will do some more investigations.
The Config file =>
[global]
OutputVolume = 91
OutputRate = 0
ColdDarkStart = True
AVWXToken =
VoiceLanguage = Microsoft Hazel
Removed Microsoft Hazel from the config file.
Now, BTM starts and voice narration is working as well.
Now, config file looks like this==>
[global]
OutputVolume = 91
OutputRate = 0
ColdDarkStart = True
AVWXToken =
VoiceLanguage =
Hey thanks for looking through this. I had very busy period with family and work and over last couple months did not even start my flight sim PC for a 2 months. Closer to xmas time we will have more time. I will be quite behind on windows updates so we will do checks how is working and need to finish other updates I was working on. It could be some issues with voicing if windows update will change something or selected voice previously is not avaiable anymore. I will look how to handle this scenario in better way.
Hi all, I just downloaded the app and it proves to be an excellent way to fly the 2020 bushtrips in 2024. Thanks very much.
My feeling is, the issue I experienced was related to the Upgrade Windows 11 24H2. This was an upgrade, not a brand new install. If someone can test BTM soon afterwwards upgrading to Windows 11 and report back it will be usefuel.
It is nice to know BTM can be used in msfs24 for bushtrips. I have not bought msfs24 yet! I am enjoying BTM in MSFS20 and looking forward for the planned upgrades.
Awesome thanks for update that still works for 2024
I was worried that something changed in sim connect as I did not run 2024 yet. Booking time for xmas period 
Well, the app definitely doesn’t work for me in MSFS2024.
The import of a mission is successful. But when I click on the mission, I get the message flight sim not detected, start flight sim first.
Northeast Megalopolis won’t import.
Is anyone else having issues with this one?
I’ve tried on 2 computers. Error says check log files, but I don’t know where they are.
Ideas?
Thanks in Advance!
