Browse freeware bush strip add-ons for MSFS 2020 and 2024. Community-built backcountry airstrips from Idaho, Alaska, Papua, South America and beyond — grass, gravel, mountain runways. Free to download. Browse 1,432 addons uploaded by our community.
This section collects freeware bush strip add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, created by community developers from around the world. Bush strips are remote, informal landing sites — grass, gravel, dirt, or mountain ridgeline runways found far from the infrastructure of conventional airports — and they represent some of the most demanding and rewarding flying experiences available in MSFS. Community add-ons bring real-world backcountry strips to life that are missing or poorly represented in the default simulator, ranging from the legendary short strips of Idaho and Oregon to remote jungle airstrips in Papua, farm strips in South America, and mountain airfields across Scandinavia, Alaska, and beyond. Each add-on typically features accurate surface types, terrain-matched placement, regional objects, and vegetation to make the landing environment as authentic as possible. All add-ons in this category are free to download.
