## What is it?

Bushtalk Radio is a community driven project with the aim to fill the vast world of MSFS 2020/24 with thousands of interesting locations and local radio stations. Each location will have an audio tour that will automatically play as you approach it. We have audio tours for all 25,000+ in-game POIs (including World Updates) as well as thousands of community submitted content with more being added every day: mountains, skycrapers, volcanoes, historical battles or a random bit of local trivia - there's something for everyone.

Users can submit new locations or discover it using our Discovery Scanner. Once you find a location to submit, just write an interesting, witty script and we'll create the audio tour for you. Not the creative type? Autogenerate one with our Wikipedia Import tool, we won't judge you. We want to introduce players to amazing locations around the world. Add them as part of your next bush trip or fly aimlessly and stumble into something special.

There are 3 components to Bushtalk Radio:

* **[Bushtalk Radio website](https://www.bushtalkradio.com)** - This is our website where you will see your locoation and all the content we have to offer. Once you connect with the client, the audio will be played through the browser so make sure to keep this open.

* **[Bushtalk EFB Client](https://flightsim.to/file/7898/bushtalk-radio-client-audio-tours-from-your-cockpit)** - The client is needed to upload your airplane location to our server. This is what allows us to automatically play the audio tour based on your in-game location. Drag and drop the folder into your [Community folder](https://helpdesk.aerosoft.com/hc/en-gb/articles/5023507568925-How-to-locate-the-Community-folder-in-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator). Once in the cockpit, press "TAB" the EFB client in MSFS2024 (or the toolbar client if using MSFS2020) and log in with your account

* **[Bushtalk Radio Landmarks Pack](https://flightsim.to/file/7285/bushtalk-radio-world-landmarks-pack)** (OPTIONAL) - This optional addon allows you to see all of the community POI markers in-game and LittleNavMap. This file will be updated from time to time to include all of the landmarks and POIs submitted on the Bushtalk Radio website so if your submissions are missing then wait for the next update

## How to use

1. Make an account at [Bushtalk Radio](https://www.bushtalkradio.com/login?) and log in (you may also use a tablet for this)
2. Download the [Bushtalk Radio EFB Client](https://flightsim.to/file/7898/bushtalk-radio-client-audio-tours-from-your-cockpit) and log in
4. Choose a suitable departure airport to the landmark you wish to explore. (TIP: our website will tell you the nearest airport if you click on the POI)
5. Once in your cockpit, open the Bushtalk Radio client from your cockpit toolbar and log in. You are now tuned in to Bushtalk Radio and you should see yourself on the Bushtalk Radio website. You can minimise the client but don't close it or you will lose tracking
6. Fly towards your destination, if you installed the Landmarks Pack then you'll see the POI marker in-game and as you approach the audio tour will play automatically.
7. **Remember that you need to logged in with the client AND the website, otherwise the audio will not play!**
8. Ready to submit your own audio tour? Please read our [Submission Guidelines](https://github.com/BushtalkRadio/BushtalkClient/blob/master/SubmissionGuidelines.md) first!

## HOW TO: Find undiscovered POIs using your Bush Radar

The Discovery Scanner is an exploration tool that allows you to find undiscovered POIs while out in the bush. New discoveries can be found on the map as green blips which will also be added to your Discovery Log. Once you've found something worth sharing, publish it to Bushtalk Radio along with an audio tour. To get started simply click the Scan button on your Action Bar.

Publishing new Discoveries can done from the map as you fly, or at the end of a long trip from the Discovery Log. Keep in mind that not all Discoveries are worth publishing, but this is up to you to decide. Open your Discovery in Wikipedia and see what interesting tidbits of information you can find. Did you find the site of a decisive battle or is it just another high school in the suburbs?

Stay tuned as we'll be adding different Discovery types and collectables around the world for you to find.

## FAQ

### The audio tours are not playing automatically

Make sure you're connected with the Bushtalk Radio client <b>AND</b> logged in our website. Do not minimize the browser window. Some browsers do not support audio being autoplayed without user input, so if yours isn't working then try another browser. Manually play an audio tour on the website to make sure your browser isn't muted.

### I have a feature request or bug to report

Best and quickest place would be on our [discord server](https://discord.gg/ZcGgw9mUqA), but you can also email me at admin@bushtalkradio.com or through the feedback form on our webite via the '+' button.

### I'm having issues with the new cockpit client and/or I prefer the external client

Our old external client is still [available to download here](https://bushtalkradioclient-dist.s3.amazonaws.com/BushtalkExternalClient.zip). This is a python script packaged into a executable so your browser/windows might flag it as a virus but rest assured this is a false positive.
