    McGuire84Trying to get the "short stuff" achievement and not sure what I'm doing wrong. All settings are on hard. I took off and then land on an airport about 15 min away under 2k ft. I do not know what "without bypassing any travel" means. This could be what I'm doing wrong. Please help

    Thx,
    Ryan

    DrMmmPieThis unlocked for during take off. Fairly sure I had some assist still on as I'm very new to the game, So If someone else wants to try the flight and see will it also unlock, I've only landed at EINN, KEWR(was a discovery flight) successful both are well over 2000Ft and a crash landing at KLAS

    This solution was written long ago, when it first released for the PC, and a lot of patching has occurred since then. Some users are reporting it no longer works. I'm leaving this here for reference.

    Completing landing challenges is the most efficient way to get this since it also adds to other achievements, but there is an easier way to get this if you just want three achievements quickly.

    - Turn of all assists.
    - Select any aircraft, doesn't matter which one
    - Select WX53-Bugalaga as your arrival airport
    - Select WABS-Sinak as your departure airport making sure you start at a ramp. That's important since starting on the runway already has the engines running and that voids the 'no assists' portion.
    - As soon as you are in the airplane, choose to 'Travel to -> Taxi' and respond to the prompts.

    Achievement should pop during the loading screen.

    This will also unlock
