Bushtalk Radio

Transform Microsoft Flight Simulator into a world adventure with Bushtalk Radio – your virtual passport to the world's most fascinating stories, all from the cockpit!

Bushtalk Radio is a community driven project with the aim to fill the world of MSFS 2020/24 with thousands of interesting landmarks, POIs and local radio stations! Each POI has a unique audio tour that is automatically played based on your in-game location. Here's a video of how it works in practice by ObsidianAnt.

What is it?

Bushtalk Radio is a community driven project with the aim to fill the vast world of MSFS 2020/24 with thousands of interesting locations and local radio stations. Each location will have an audio tour that will automatically play as you approach it. We have audio tours for all 25,000+ in-game POIs (including World Updates) as well as thousands of community submitted content with more being added every day: mountains, skycrapers, volcanoes, historical battles or a random bit of local trivia - there's something for everyone.

Users can submit new locations or discover it using our Discovery Scanner. Once you find a location to submit, just write an interesting, witty script and we'll create the audio tour for you. Not the creative type? Autogenerate one with our Wikipedia Import tool, we won't judge you. We want to introduce players to amazing locations around the world. Add them as part of your next bush trip or fly aimlessly and stumble into something special.

Geting started with Bushtalk Radio

• Make an account at https://bushtalkradio.com and log in. Make sure this browser window stays open (do not minimise it) as the audio tours are played through your browser in the background.
• Download this client and drag and drop the folder into your Community folder
• Download Bushtalk Radio Landmarks pack and drop the folder into your Community folder. This will allow you to see the POIs in-game and will be updated monthly with the latest community submissions. This isn't mandatory but it helps.
• Once in your cockpit, open the Bushtalk Radio client from your EFB (MSFS 2024 only) or your cockpit toolbar (MSFS 2020) and log in. You are now tuned in to Bushtalk Radio. Please note that for MSFS 2020, toolbar windows cannot run in the background so you will have to keep this window open/minimised.
• Look for places you want to explore on our website, we tell you the most convenient airport to depart from, or make your own bush trip! The audio tours will play automatically as you approach a landmark.

I love the idea! How can I support the project?

Help us by creating as many high quality landmarks with well written audio tours. You can also help by promoting the project to fellow flightsimmers. Finally, if you really love what we're doing then help us pay for server costs. Any amount is welcome.

(MSFS 2020 only) Is there a way to remember credentials when I first start the sim?

Navigate to the file: \bushtalkradio-bushtalk-toolbar-client-2020\html_ui\InGamePanels\BushtalkClient\CustomPanel.js
Open in notepad
Add your credentials in between the double quotes as instructed
Once you start the game, open the client from the toolbar. It should login automatically.
