NOTAM: At the end of each leg, the weight of the cargo onboard was to be reduced by 25lbs upon full stop. However, due to recent changes introduced in SU8, this functionality is broken and is no longer working. This does not affect the functionality of the mission itself which remains very much flyable.
I have been in touch with Microsoft to find out what happened and will keep you updated. In the meantime, you can adjust the cargo weight in the aircraft by using the Weight and Balance tool in the sim.

You've been assigned the task of delivering COVID-19 vaccines to remote villages in the Himalayas to keep the locals safe as the Omicron variant sweeps across the region.
Your flight starts at Hamid Karzai International Airport (OAKB) and will take you over some of the tallest peaks in the world and through beautiful valleys in northern Pakistan and India.
This journey is going to be a challenging one. You'll be flying with a full load in the cargo hold of your Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX, which means you'll need to give yourself plenty of space to climb after takeoff. Additionally, your last supply drop will be difficult as the landing strip is very hard to see, so be prepared to go missed on final approach. While the flight plan has been designed to help you get to a safe altitude, don't be afraid to deviate from the flight plan and circle in case you need to gain/lose altitude.
Your aircraft is sitting at parking spot 38 and is being refueled. Let's get her up and running and let's get these vaccines delivered to the local villagers.
Installation
1. Download the archive and extract the files.
2. Drag the "mission-OAKB-VI66" folder to your Community folder.
3. That's it!
Necessary Addons
In order for this bush trip to appear in the simulator, you'll need to download the Cessna 208 - Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders livery by Squidfall and place it in your Community folder.
No other addons are required, however, this may change in future versions of this bush trip; click the "Follow" button below to be notified of any updates.

une étape n'a pas de fin " Shardu OPSD" A quel endroit doit on arrêter l'avion pour que leg soit pris en compte. Car maintenant je suis bloqué et ne peut faire les legs suivants. J'ai essayer deux fois le voyage avec des pistes d'atterrissage différentes sans succès.
Merci pour la réponse

It really tests your VFR navigation abilities with no GPS, dealing with high altitudes and rough terrains.

The flight plan (The POI) is not showing on the VFR map.

Hey there - yes, that's a bug in MSFS. I believe this was introduced with SU5: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/bush-trips-have-gotten-harder-with-su5-wt-g1000nxi/433339

With 1.0.2 update it is working fine for me. Of course, the livery needs to be in community folder. Maybe it will be an idea for next version to have instructions to change the plane or an alternative download with a aircraft of the standard edition.
Great Trip, nice idea. Thanks for this

Great minds think alike. Funnily enough, I was thinking about that last night (as well as this morning).
I've added it to the roadmap, as there are a number of bush trips I've got in the queue that would work really well with 3rd party aircraft (Twin Otter or PC6) and default aircraft, like the C172.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello,
Thanks for your bushtrip but, like some others, and though I have the livery "Médecins sans frontières" in my community folder, I don't see your trip in the sim.
Thank you for solving...

I've tested on this end with version 1.22.2.0 of MSFS 2020 and it works if I have the MSF livery in the community folder. If I remove the livery and reboot the sim, the bush trip doesn't appear (which is how it's supposed to work).
I'm starting to wonder if this could be related to the sim itself.
Which version of the sim do you have installed?

downloading the recent version, still not visible on the custom content of bush trips on my msfs screen??

I've figured out the issue.
I made an error with a naming convention, which is why the bush trip was appearing on my end, but not on yours. This has now been tested and is verified as fixed. Phew!
When you can, please download version 1.0.2, place it in your Community folder and relaunch the sim. You should see it in the "Custom Content" screen. (And please let me know if that works for you or not, and we'll continue to troubleshoot.)

You should look into 'The Skypark' add-on for MSFS, they have missions like this. You can probably submit this version to this so that more people can play it maybe.

I know of Sky Park, but I didn't know they accept 3rd party content. I'll definitely look into that. Thank you for the suggestion!

Indeed, when i select activities, community part of this, the mission addon is not presented ...

OK, thank you for letting me know.
I was able to do so on my end last night, but I will test it again and see if there's something getting in the way.
Stay tuned, I will have an update for you shortly.

Hi sir,
This addon doesn't work with the last msfs version 1.22.2.0; why??
I saw that in the image map that most items are png files; is this OK. After conversion to jpg, still the missionproject can't be seen in the activity custom community map.
2 years ago
PNG files should be fine. I'm not aware of any issues with MS and this image file format.
When you say, "doesn't work", do you mean it doesn't appear in MSFS under Custom Content for you?
