Something seems not right in the update. POST MIlls should be done with the yellow cub. I have flown it in the past. But now it seems the C152 is the default plane. Even when I chose the yellow cub in my hangar. What is wrong?
1 years ago
Sorry for the confusion. MSFS does not support multi-aircraft for Bushtrip, so in order to provide a choice, I had to generate a separate but identical Bushtrip for each aircraft I want to support.
For example in the case of Post Mills, you have two choices:
The Bushtrip Title with no mention of the aircraft, use the default original aircraft
If you look at the documentation, the choices are described, and you should use the Flight performance profile for the aircraft you fly.
If you want to fly any other aircrafts you must load it in developer mode. The procedure is described at the end of the reference tab.
The Bushtrip developers community have not been able to convince Microsoft/Asobo, that muti-aircraft Bushtrip is a requirement. Please make the request in the forum if you think it is a good idea.
Please let me know if you are successful or not

In order to make this work, do I have to download all 5 files, main, sport, private, instrument, commercial??
How do I download the patch? Do I have to sign up and create an account??
Do you get some sort of acknowledgment once one finishes a mission or is that in a future version? I've done the first mission in the cub 10 times and once I land I just sit there. Do I have to turn the engine OFF, flaps up etc to get the acknowledgement??
Update: The c152 ( 1st sport mission) worked as intended, with the acknowledgement at the end. (Parking brake on and battery & alternator off without patch). The Cub does not have a parking brake, could that be the issue?

Thanks for the feedback.
Do I have to download all 5 files: Just main (Documentation), one or more of the Training Mission Sessions
How do I download the patch? MSFS-RWT-S1_Sport-Pilot_v3-0-0_Patch Comment on Flightsim.To, you have a link to my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u2dTYWxvxyKczNoq7gE7ZkiuRBRi28d-/view?usp=sharing
Do you get some sort of acknowledgment: There is a reward picture for each Mission that should appear when you land at the airport Turn Off the engine and put the break on. But I had to work around some of the MSFS Bushtrip constraint for some of the Missions so I can't promise it works all the time. I prefer self-evaluation. even if I make it one time, I want to do it many time to improve.
Do I have to turn the engine OFF: In general: Parking Brakes Set, Battery Master Off, Avionic Master Off, Engine Off.
The Cub does not have a parking brake, could that be the issue? Possibly, MSFS decide and I know that Parking brakes and having landed is part of it. I will experiment with the Cub and try to find a combination that works

MSFS-RWT-S1_Sport-Pilot_v3-0-0_Patch
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u2dTYWxvxyKczNoq7gE7ZkiuRBRi28d-/view?usp=sharing
Installation
- Pre-req: MSFS-RWT-S1_Sport-Pilot_v3-0-0.zip must be installed first
- Copy/Repalce the CONTENT of"..\MSFS-RWT-S1_Sport-Pilot_v3-0-0_Patch\MSFS-RWT_Package" to your community folder
Problem description
- Mission : FLT-001: Chap-02 Post Mill
- Aircraft: Cessna 152
Symptom: Mission completed Message at startup. Need to do a restart to be able to fly the mission.
The problem does not exist with the Savage Cub.
Mission Settings: Bushtrip start (Engine not running, Parking Brakes Off), Bushtrip End (Engine running, Parking Brakes On)
Cause: When using the Cessna 152, MSFS seems to wrongly detect that the Brakes are on and conclude that the Mission has ended.
With the same setting there is no problem with the Savage Cub.
Solution: The setting have been changes for the Cessna 152:
- Start: Engine is running and parking brake is off.
- End: Engine is not running and parking brake is on.
For the Savage Cub there is no change and the Engine will be not be running at the start.
There is no change to the scenario, except that you don't have to start the engine in the Cessna 152.

MSFS-RWT-S0_Main-and-Doc_v3-0-0.zip: Main file.
It is not included in the download, so MSFS does not include the training flights.
Please include it in the download list for v.3
Thanks!
Everything is fine now. There was a problem with the installation, I installed all the files again and now it works perfectly!
Thanks again for the update, great job!

Thanks for the feedback.
I try to have the title name of the Main file to be "MSFS-RWT-S0_Main-and-Doc_v3-0-0.zip" , but Flightsim.To insist to name it just "Main".
If you select to download Main you will see that in fact it is "MSFS-RWT-S0_Main-and-Doc_v3-0-0.zip" that is downloaded and it is all the documentation.
As an alternative I put "Main" as part of the filename. Please tell me if you know how to get Flightsim.To to permit a more significant name that "Main".
In the mean time I will put a note in the read-Me file.
And thanks again for your feedback, it is much appreciated

FLT CHAP 02 Post Mills with the Cessna 152 not working. After start Flight it is successfully passed immediately.

Thanks for the feedback. i will have a look and make necessary correction. will keep you posted.
Sorry for the inconvenience but you are right there is a problem. The temporary bypass is to:
You should be able to run the Mission.
MSFS does not like Bushtrip that start and end at the same airport. So when you set them up you have to be careful with the initial and end condition. If they are too similar it thinks that you are at the end instead of the beginning.
You will have similar problem if you run the Missions multiple times, which is expected when you are training. However MSFS save a successful Bushtrip in the cloud and you can't get rid of it without doing a restart.
I will make necessary correction and provide an update and thank again for your feedback. Let me know if the bypass work for you.
