How to not use "Back on Track" for Bush Trip?

[Pugs]

I'm trying to do the Bush trip in Nevada with the Savage Cub without using Back on Track to see my plane on the radar...but I don't know how to fly otherwise. All settings are on hard and I'm wondering how we learn to play this way?

You are supposed to use the NAVLOG from the drop-down menu to guide you. It provides clues, as well as heading and time (which is why there is a stop-watch there). I will tell you that the first few legs are dead on and you shouldn't have much problem.

Then around leg 6 or 7, they start really getting wonky, sometimes just plain wrong. On one of them they tell you to take off from Yerington and head west. Seemed to me you should really head due-North. After a while I found it much better to just pull up the VFR map from "skyvector.com" on my second monitor and just use that (like you would in real life).

Oh btw...good luck figuring out how to refuel!! I couldn't get any of the fueling stations at the airport to actually work. Ended up having to bind the "Repair and Refuel" command in order to fill up (found that solution from a YT video). If someone knows how to do this better, I am all ears.

I literally used Google Maps on satellite view for that one after it started giving really confusing directions.

Look up the destination airport and figure out which way you need to go. It doesn’t care if you fly the exact route, you just need to find the airport (if you can even call them that) and land.

Googling the airport code and entering the lat/long coordinates into Google Maps helps since they are often abandoned airports and don’t come up on a simple search.

Try also vfrmap.com . It allows you to zoom in a little closer. Also, very important, it gives elevation info for runways and obstacles.
