In this video we convert a Bush Trip into a free flight flight plan which we can then customize however we want. Change the aircraft, add, remove or move waypoints and change how and where you spawn in game.

Note: In the video the DA40-NGX Improvement Mod has been used which makes the DA40 much easier to fly – you can check it out at https://flightsim.to/file/2738/da40-ngx-project

In this video we show you how to change the aircraft on a flight plan to any aircraft that’s not already in the drop-down list. In the example we use the 2nd leg of the Alpine Bush Trip as a flight plan and change the aircraft from the X-Cub to the Mustang P-51D that comes with the Reno Air Races.

*Please note: You must own the Reno Air Races Mustang P-51D to fly this flight plan as-is. Otherwise you can use the video to help you change it to another aircraft (or select one of the standard aircraft from the list of course).

In the video we use the satellite view of Flightplan to find our house. We then use Cockpit Map to fly the flight plan and show you how to add waypoints on-the-fly.

The video demostrates using Cockpit Map to help you taxi from parking to runway 33 at KDCA Washington Nat’l using the real-time satellite view to identify the taxiway markings. Use this flight plan to try it out for yourself in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

At the completion of this flight, the ‘My Way’ badge popped as I entered the correct gate. I had tried a number of times before so below is the list of things I was careful to do during this flight. I left the “TIMECLIMB, TIMECRUISE…etc” waypoints in the flight plan because I didn’t want to change anything about it since it worked for the “My Way” badge, but they’re not important I don’t think.

One odd thing that happened (not sure if it was related to the flight plan or not) is that ATC dropped me in altitude from 3500′ down to 500′ basically calling out the glide slope descending from the North on a straight in approach to 19 (which I wanted). But ATC never gave me landing clearance for 19, so I basically buzzed the airport and continued south until ATC put me on an approach for runway 01 – which I followed.  I never called a missed approach because ATC never gave me landing clearance, I just held at 500 for the length of the runway and then began climbing until ATC finally contacted me again.

I also kept checking my “Assistance” menu to make sure it was still set to True-To-Life.  If you miss an ATC call, or accidentally close the Checklist or ATC windows (you can minimize them just don’t close them), it will reset your Assistance options to “Custom”.  If that happens you might as well just start over and try to figure out what you did that caused it to flip to Custom.  I think in one case I turned off my Landing lights inside of 10NM, but I can’t be sure that was it.

Below is what I did:

*Make sure your Assistance Option is set to ‘True-To-Life’ before loading this flight plan in World Map.  If the ATC and Check List windows don’t open when you spawn in the cockpit, you need to reset your Assistance Options and reload the flight plan.

– Follow the checklists to the letter to start the aircraft and prepare to taxi
– Request IFR flight plan clearance from ATC and set the assigned squawk myself & and put assigned altitude into the autopilot
– Turned on Taxi Lights AND Landing Lights before taxi
– Requested Taxi, (didn’t need fuel or pushback)
– Followed Taxi route EXACTLY (Toronto is nice and easy) I was careful to stay right on the yellow lines for the entire route all the way to hold short.
– Do not overrun the hold short line, request take off clearance from ATC, turn off taxi lights.
– Take off when cleared and climb as directed.
– Turn off Landing Lights at +10NM from the airport
– Fly the route as directed using the autopilot as desired
– DO NOT MAKE ATC ASK YOU TWICE!!! Answer ATC first time every time and follow altitude guidance exactly. Respond to aircraft in sight (and make some attempt to sight them)
– Turn on Landing lights before 10NM from the airport.
– Follow ATC guidance on approach into KDCA (again, I got some weird instructions but I don’t know if it will repeat), so I actually had to climb back to 1500 and fly a second approach from the south after my straight-in approach to 19.
– Land and exit the runway ASAP
– Acknowledge ATC, switch to ground freq, ask for a gate (I didn’t try asking for parking) and turn on Taxi Lights (leave Landing Lights on)
– Follow the Taxi route EXACTLY to the gate, stay on the line (luckily KDCA has well painted taxiways and gates, so you can use Satellite view to help make sure you don’t get lost – it should be pretty easy)
– My badge popped as I was nosing onto the line for my gate, but I went ahead and let the ground marshal park me before I exited.

That’s all I can remember about the specific things I was sure to check/do along the way. Unfortunatley I can’t “unpop” the badge to try it again to see what the magic answer was, but hopefully this helps someone.

The video shows the Flightplan starting with all systems off. This Flightplan starts with the aircraft started and glass cockpit ready for the flight. You will spawn in the parking spot requested in the video, but check out our video on Changing the Aircraft Position if you want to start in flight.

This is the Flightplan used in the YouTube video How to Change The Start Position of Your Aircraft. You can download this flgihtplan and follow along with the video, or fly it yourself just for fun. This Flightplan is saved already in flight over Madrid Airport at 3000 feet, so if you want to take off from the runway, you’ll have to set the Flightplan back on the ground.

This flight plan includes just the last waypoint before the LFMB (Castillion) landing from the France Bush Trip and the airstrip itself.  The aircraft will spawn in flight over the waypoint previous to LFMB (Luz-Saint-Sauveur) so that you can easily restart as many times as you like if you want to practice the landing.

Note: I use the DA40-NGX Improvement Mod which makes the DA40 much easier to fly – you can check it out at https://flightsim.to/file/2738/da40-ngx-project.  Thank you to mrtommymxr for the excellent mod.
