[SU11] Bushtrip Saving Behavior Change

Hello, I have a new issue with saving of bush trips. I guess, it was
introduced with SU11 changelog entry 189:

189Fixed bushtrip save behavior in case you have multiple bushtrips in the same package

Before SU11: One Package

  • Asset A - USA bush trip
  • Asset B - Europe bush trip

Flew the first 3 legs of USA → first 3 legs of Europe were also completed.
This bug seems to be fixed in SU11. But when you have one package, one (or
more) asset with a single bush trip and this bush trip has multiple flight-
files to offer the XBox users to fly each leg with another plane / weather,
…, it looks like the state is saved now on FLT-File Level and not on asset
level. With SU10: Fly first leg with Plane A. It was possible to continue this
bush trip with Plane B on leg 2. With SU11: Fly first leg with Plane A. It is
NOT possible to continue this bush trip with Plane B on leg 2. This was a very
good feature, especially for the Xbox user who are not able to edit flt files
or user MissionChanger. With this, i.e. you can have a real bush flight on a
small island with a slow/STOL plane and for the transport leg to a neighbor
island you could use the King Air or TBM to continue with the STOL aircraft on
leg 3. Is there any possibility to re-create this function in SU11 inside of
the definition files, FLT, Xml, …? And in addition: Is it possible to define
the name of the activity_widget.jpg or is it fix coded? Thank you in Advance,
BuffyGC

Hi @BuffyGC, It was never planned to be able to change planes after a leg. We
are curious about the package to get this behavior, can you send me a sample?
When you say " assets ", you mean the AssetGroup Mission ? About
activity_widget.jpg , yes, it’s hardcoded. Regards, Boris

Hi @Boris you got the requested files in a private comment on original post.
And yes, " Assets " means " AssetGroup "of type mission. About the
activity_widget: Would be great, when we can define the activity-widget and
reward screen image file names like the briefing/loading images or any similar
entry in the FLT file. Thanks again, BuffyGC

Hi @BuffyGC , The devs confirmed to me that the fact that the save was shared
between all missions in a package was indeed a problem that has been fixed.
The point is that in order to bring back the old issue, but this time as a
real feature, a new system would have to be designed / implemented to take
into account the tank capacity / number of fuel tanks and other saved data…
when using a different aircraft for the next leg. I sugest you open an idea
about this. That way, we can discuss it internally when we review the ideas.
Thank you for the project, it helped a lot :wink: Regards, Boris

Thank you very much @Boris I will open an idea later with my thoughts. The
mission was a quick 10min hack for you near Bordeaux, including the
translations to French :slight_smile: BuffyGC
