*** REQUIRES JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT VERSION 8 OR NEWER ***
The tool generates all the directories and files needed, including default single color images, to compile a bush mission, landing challenge or discovery flight. Supply your own Bing Maps or Goole Maps API key and you will get nicer images! The input file is a single text or XLSX file containing waypoint names, coordinates, generic mission data, nav log texts, etc. It can be generated by the tool from an existing flight plan (PLN file exported from Little Navmap) or from a sample file. Waypoints can also be read from a Little Navmap file (.LNMPLN) where navlog texts are present in the comments. There are many options to use to trigger failures, warnings, play WAV files or TTS and much more. Now even airport/runway creation is included! See the manual for information about how to use BMG and all its possibilites.
Please contribute by sending bug reports and feature requests. BMG is totally free to use and no registration is necessary! But if you want to donate money, buy me a couple of beers or even give me a copy of your creation would be highly appreciated and motivating. Especially if you create successful payware. Look for the PayPal link or use a Revolut transfer (revolut.me/f99mlu).

I'm wondering though whether it's possible to include sounds - preferably text-to-speech - in landing challenges. I've used entries such as "introSpeech" with and without the delay, but don't hear anything. Any hints (or an answer that says it's just not possible) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you...

I have been inside Devmode but I never messed with any setting, except for downloading the lastest sdk. But I am willing to learn hehe
BodyofArmor
created a landing challenge and clicked compile and same message appears waiting on msfs to start. it seems as thought it gets hung up in this process and does not connect to the sim. once i open the sim after bmg has been hung up for sometime, i will see the error message.....something went terribly wrong

I download the MSFS SDK, I pointed the installer to C:\MSFS SDK
once installed I will into the bin folder and found the fspackagetool.exe
I then created a landing challenge and clicked on compile at the bottom the message read, waiting on msfs to start, and that was about 15 to 20 ago.

so I cannot give the correct path in the sdkPath. When I entered the sdkPath=C\:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kit\10\bin it comes back with a message, Cannot run program C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kit\10\bin ( in directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kit\10\bin "} Create process error=5 Acess is Denied

C:\Program files (x86)\Windows Kit\10\
Also when reviewing the screen shot of the error message, I noticed at the bottom, it shows the message. "Scanning the Z drive for a SDK...."
I don't have a Z drive
BodyofArmor
I installed a new drive and reinstalled windows 10 and then I installed MSFS 2020 on the new drive
before the new installation of windows 10 and MSFS 2020 Bushmission gen was working correctly.
after the new installation and I download Bushmissiongen and started creating a landing challenge and then click the compile button is when I receive the error message.
I also looked in the root directory and I do not see a file path of C:\MSFS SDK\Tools\bin\fspackagetool.exe
Thank you for your response.

I click on File/Create new LNMPLN input file
I choose the desired flight plan
I click on Bush trip
I fill out all of the empty fields but the Next and Finish buttons remain greyed out.
What am I missing?
