As I like flying and I like rivers it is nice to combine those. So, a bushtrip following a river. The Columbia River starting high in the Rockies and meandering through Canadian and North American states to end in the Pacific, after 1243 miles. It is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest region. The trip takes off from Fairmont Hot Springs a at 2649 feet to be rapidly climbing to 10000 feet the hop over the mountains to one the dams outside the Columbia River area. But enjoyable flying over the mountain ridges. There Is another dam the trip will visit, just outside the Columbia River and then in the river there are 14 dams.
You need to climb to 10000 feet a few times at the start of the trip. After you leave the mountains, you can gradually lower your cruising altitude to 2000 feet. Certainly, when you stay in the valleys.
- The trip is multilingual. Provided are: French, German, Spanish, Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese. These languages are machine translations. The original language is American-English.
- The aircraft is the Cessna Skyhawk 172Sp G1000 Kenmore Livery. Not the fastest and in mountainous area not a good climber, but it works. You can change the aircraft to one of your likings with MissionChanger by BuffyGC.
- After landing you have to set the Parking Brake, shut down the Engine, shut down the Navigation and shut down all electricity (think battery).
- GPS is available, however when you stay in the valleys than there are some legs where it is nearly impossible to use it. Fly manual with use of the heading knob.
- Weather is preset to: few clouds but user changeable.
- The Flight book as added as well as the printed Flight Plan from Little Navmap. Added is a brief tutorial of ProfSC how to set the G1000 when the flight plan is not correctly shown from the second leg on.
The trip is made with LittleNavmap, by Alexander Barthel and BusTripInjector by BuffyGC. Thanks to both of them for their work.
There are a lot addons for British Columbia and Washington State at FlightSim.to. Feel free to use them.
The trip takes 1143 nautical miles in 15 legs.
Happy flying and safe landings
Nice trip. I would appreciate your attaching also LNMPLN file to it. You made it in LittleNavMap anyway. Thank you from Slovakia.

Hi IvanRA,
Thanks for your comment. I am curious what you want to do with the LNMPLN? It's only readable in LNM.

It is a very nasty little button and not at a place that catches the eye. Happy you found it. Enjoy the trip.

I so looked forward to flying this Bush Trip. However, after downloading and unzipping, placed the resulting folder in my community folder, but it does not show up in MSFS under "Custom Content" or "Bush Trips". Even made a new Community folder and just put this folder in it, but still nothing. What am I doing wrong? Tried another that I had downloaded and it appears fine in "Custom Content". Any ideas?

Well!! I deleted all the old files and re-downloaded the Zip file. Extracted to my Community folder and VOILA!! There it is in all its glory. This will be my second flight with a new RTX 3080 that arrived today. Sorry to have bothered you, can't wait to start this adventure!!!
