This is my first mission for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It is a remake of the FSX mission: Secret Shuttle.
Put the file "klas-kxta-pilotcs" into the MSFS Community folder. The mission can be found under Activities - Custom Content - Bush Trips - Secret Shuttle.
As a new Captain for a secret airline that doesn't officially exist, you're about to take workers on an early morning flight from Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (KLAS) to an air base at Groom Lake.
You need advanced understanding of the A320 FMC and the autopilot.
The waypoints "Mercury NDB" and "Pyramid" are not in the active navdata anymore. So I took these waypoints "JAYSN" and "VEEPA" which match the Locations of those Waypoints.
Flight Number: WWW356
Routing: KLAS DCT JAYSN DCT VEEPA DCT KXTA
Cost Index: 25
Cruise Altitude: 14000ft
Flap/Trim Setting: 1/UP0.8
Flex: 63`
V1/VR/V2: 126/127/129
What you need: FlyByWireA320 Experimental https://flybywiresim.com/
Groom Lake Area 51 Airport https://flightsim.to/file/11339/kxta-homey-airport-area-51-groom-lake-upgrade
Airbus A320 Neo Janet (Dirty) https://flightsim.to/file/16137/janet-airlines-a32nx-8k
Optional: Flytampa Las Vegas Mc Carran Intl https://www.flytampa.org/klas.html
Tips: Ignore the heading instructions of your copilot. Just follow the rout you programmed into the FMC.
When your copilot contacts Groom Lake Tower reduce your speed to 240 knots. This will make your descend more relaxed.
When asked to descend extract the speedbrakes to 1/2.
Limitations: There won`t be any flying UFOs. They are only audible in the ATC comms. If somebody knows how to add triggerable replay files in BushTripInjector let me know in the comments or message me.
In realworld or FSX the trip is flown with the 737. If PMDG releases their 737 I will also make a version with it.
Thanks to BuffyGC for his awesome tool BushTripInjector.
Has anyone figured this out? I'd love to play these missions. So many memories.

Doesn't appear to work for me. followed all instructions to the letter and downloaded all necessary packages, does not appear in the sim but does show as installed in the content manager. I may have done something wrong but unsure.

Did you cleared your community folder except for the necessary addons used by this mission? Then we now if it is a mission error or if the mission is conflicting with other addons installed in your community folder.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these. Great little flight and fun to see how some voice acting and a bit of story leads to a way more engaging experience than if I would've just flown this route myself.

Awesome effort Pilot 39 , flew this mission flawless first try , then when I try to re-fly this mission it starts me out cold already at Area 51 sitting next to the Janet's in parking ? Is it a one and done mission? Would love to fly this again and again Thanks for any help mate.

U need to go to AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_(...)\LocalState\MISSIONS\ACTIVITIES and delete the "SECRET SHUTTLE_SAVE" folder. This should let u fly the mission again.

Thanks for making this!
Maybe you can end the mission a bit later, when you've parked, just like the FSX mission.2 years ago
I dont know how to do this in BushTripInjector. It ends the bushtrip when the plane stops.

OMG i really wanna fly this trip again. Loved it in FSX. Downloaded all the files and placed those as supposed in the community folder, but the mission doesn't show up under activities / custom content. Hopefully ill get it to work

OMG, this is awesome! Can't wait to try this when I have time. I actually provided one of the voices for this mission, back when I worked at MS. I'm the Area 51 controller. 😊
