Hi Jeremy, yes you are right, there's no Stuttgart [EDDS] Airport existing so far.
Well afaik a Stuttgart [EDDS] is technically existing in MSFS but....just as a more or less lousy field where you can land (as you have probably noticed). So afaik from a technical perspective it'll work.
However if you still think I should highlight the recommendation even more especially for EDDS, please let me know.
Cheers Dirk

Hi Rull, thanky for your comments.


--------The selected models ------------------
It's somehow a toipic with the models (you never can fullfill every users wishes ;-) which one to select since there are always boundaries.
First depending on the software you paid for Standard, Deluxe, Deluxe Premium.
So as developer you are always on the safe side if you choose just one out of the standard (which is i.e. the Asobo XCub). I tried to establish two but they only differ by the pre-selected plane but both need to have the complete installation material for convenience. So. unfortunately it's not foreseen by the MSFS developers to select your own model for the bushtrip.

Unfortunately I miss that, too....but....I found a interim solution and here's how to solve it ;-)

Since most of the data are available by a texteditor - If you like to go for another plane (this works even with the official files) you can use this instructions (for sure own risk). Open the corresponding bushtrip folder somewhere in there, in the sub you'll find one file called *.FLT .Normally it's named like "bushtripname.FLT".
For safety reasons make a backup and name it i.e. like xxxx.flt.backup or similar.
After that open the *.FLT file with a good editor (I recommend Notepad++.)

First: Search for a group called: [Sim.0] or similar.
Beyond this group you'll find the defined plane:
i.e. Sim=Cessna 152 Asobo
If you replace now the name "Cessna 152 Assobo" then you fly this bushtrip with any other plane - For sure at your own risk - Since you never know if the trip is designed for this plane but as long as you remain close to the origin, I think it'll work. So, don't change a Cessna by a A320 ;-)
After replacement save it and restart MSFS.
(For sure the mission should be in the community folder. This works as well with the official bushtrip. You have to search for the same FLT file.
But in both cases I highly recommend to do a file copy before you change.
And last but not least. the replaced flight model name must fit to the internal software name and this often differs to the public name.

i.e. Here's a list for some model names.
When you replace the Cessna by the Mudry you have to do it like this:
Sim=Cessna 152 Asobo -> Sim=Mudry Cap 10 C

Asobo Savage Cub
Asobo XCub
Beechcraft King Air 350i Asobo
Bonanza G36 Asobo
Cessna 152 Asobo
Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX
Cessna CJ4 Citation Asobo
Cessna Skyhawk G1000 Asobo
DA40-NG Asobo
DA62 Asobo
DR400 Asobo
Extra 330 Asobo
FlightDesignCT Asobo
Icon A5 Asobo
Mudry Cap 10 C
Pitts Asobo
TBM 930 Asobo
VL3 Asobo

Have fun. And by the way I'm already thinking about a small software where everybody is able to switch some parameters (i.e. like switching the flight model mentioned above) before he starts flying the bush- or landing trips.
So this will offer additional benefit for these trips. Only thing is I have to reactivate my programming talents which are rather not used for a long time :-(

----The comments--------
Yes, I know they are sometimes "long" but...since there are not really necessary informations for the flight. Compass data are available anyway.
So I wrote a little bit more what you can see and what will be there. I enjoy it getting some more infos about the surrounding I fly and not just turn left or right.
But, you need not to read it, if you don't want. And finally, it was my first bushmissiontrip trial. It was really lot of work even though you do not really see it, especially with trial and error and learning the how to, using these great community tools bushmissiongen and flightinjector even though you do not really see it.

Cheers , BWilli

I really like the longer descriptions. I feel a better sense of place and significance of what I am flying over. I don't like trips with strictly dry directions.

Yes, the Neckar valley is very beautiful, even to ride by (motor)bike. Unfortunately there are still so many optical bugs. It would look even more impressive when the small towns and lot‘s of surrounding castles would be in a good shape. So finally when you have the possibility you should visit it in real. I added some first impression descriptions next to most of the waypoints as you’ll see.

What do you mean?

Ich habe Screenshot von Mannheim gesehen, ist dies Photogrammery?

Jain, nur dass was bereits in MSFS2020 mitgeliefert wurde (die Aufnahme ist im Ultra Modus enstanden)
-------------------------------
Yes and no: The picture is taken with ultra settings from the so far existing MSFS2020 software - So no additional sceneries etc. so far.
