Bush Trips & Fuel

[Andrew Godden 945]

As a way of continuing to explore the depth and quality of MSFS, I have been flying the "Bush Trips" under the "Activities" section.

These flights are VFR with a specified navigation log to follow and are a great way to explore areas you may never think of going to. Due to the nature of these flights, they have a pre-established set-up and some features of the custom toolbar have been deliberately disabled, such as calling for a fuel truck.

However, at some point you will need to refuel and the "Request Fuel" keyboard shortcut, SHIFT+F does not work in these instances, nor does simply pulling up in front of a refueling point, as per legacy MS flight sims. A keyboard shortcut which has not been mapped in the default mapping is "Repair and Refuel" and this will refuel your aircraft. I mapped CTRL+R+F as the keyboard shortcut for this.

Cheers
Andrew

Cheers Andy, I think that's where I will start my adventure into the unknowns of MSFS. 

I do like a bit bush flying. 

Plus it's always handy knowing where and how to pick up more fuel.

I checked out some of the flight plans in Plan-G (as you do...), and they definitely look like interesting trips

Don't forget, you have to stop on the runway (despite years of contrary training!) for it to register each leg as complete.

I have also taxied to parking and stopped and it has successfully registered each leg as complete.
