There are many bugs affecting these activities and nobody's taking care of them. It seems that the bugginess and shabbiness of the entire achievements system is given for granted by everybody.

1. First of all I and many others have totally lost the progress of the bush trips, flight training and landing challenges updating from SU4 to SU5
2. Currently my US bush trip is bricked at Herlong (H37): I landed there correctly but the leg is not registered. I moved the aircraft and stopped everywhere in the airport with no avail
3. I say bricked because: when you choose to Restart a bush trip leg, it does not restart from the departure airport but from the last autosave (which is dumb enough to occur every minute). Even if you're totally lost. Even if you crash the effing aircraft on purpose! It is not possible to properly restart a bush trip leg.
4. If you enter any leg of a 100% completed bush trip and stay there for more than a minute, the sim will subtract that leg from the progress. Nothing will help: you can restart that leg and complete it but your bush trip will not get back to 100%
5. The autosave function has been bugged since release and it's totally USELESS, first of all because it doesn't work: if you resume a leg you will find your Navlog empty and no achievement will be awarded at the end of the leg. Second because these legs are 15-20 minutes long and even if it worked, autosave would be totally unnecessary
6. Some of the location names in the UI are broken (see screenshots), I don't know if it has to do with the bugged trip or not

Now that the core of the sim is more or less fixed (aside from the flyback bug that they promised to fix with SU6), we need some quality control... please Asobo, QC!

Totally agree. Would suggest also posting this on the official forums and reporting to zendesk with the details.

There is also a much larger issue here with the inaccuracy of achievements in the sim (and how it is reflected in the xbox cloud) - this will be absolutely game-breaking for Reno if it isn't fixed.

Edit - were told that the issue won't get any traction unless tickets are put in zendesk. Also worth voting on this:

SU5/SU6 and Bush Trips - Bugs & Issues / Online Services & Activities - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

I tried the bush trips and brushed up on my VFR guidance but yes they need some love.

Cheers
