I have flown around the world at an average height of 2,500 ft, discovered many new places, all with real time and weather.

Flight plans are attached if anyone is interested. Simply save the .pln file in \Users<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\ and you can load them on the world map.

I copy pasted all the flight plans together, it still loads but things are missing. Flight lines get simplified and it’s very sluggish to operate.

322 days, 323 legs (crossed the date line) with about 330 PG Areas (~250 in USA)
321,741 NM traveled with 7146 stops. Total flight time 2589:52 avg 124.2 knots.
243 countries, sovereign territories and island nations visited.

First leg (second leg below, same post) from Brantford CYFD to Kingston CYGK. While I was planning to start this tour for a while, I jumped in in the evening to fly to Kingston and ‘start’ from there. I had already explored my local area extensively.

Flight time 1:17 3 stops

It started by flying direct to Hamilton, lovely during the day, very nice in the evening as well

There is an amazing old lift bridge at the entrance to the bay, I’ve cycled over it plenty times

Onwards past Missisauga

And Toronto

Fun to land at the city airport.

Then it got too dark for pictures, landed in Kingston at nightfall.

Departing from Kingston

Following the St Lawrence river North to Ottawa

Ogdensburg along the St Lawrence river

Ottawa, the capital of Canada

The city turned out pretty well in FS 2020

The weather was pretty moody, fun to fly low over the river

Hawkesburg through a gap in the clouds

I flew higher here to witness the majestic clouds

Down below, a rainy day in Montreal

On to Quebec, the weather started to clear up a little bit

Providing a beautiful rainbow

Quebec city

Dramatic New Brunswick

Approaching Saint Johns looked to be trouble for landing

And yep, completely covered in fog. This is where I spotted the runway having to make a quick S turn to get lined up.

Certainly not sight seeing here today

Count the lakes!

Akami-Uapishkᵁ-KakKasuak-Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve

Are you Brantford local, or did you just decide to start there? The reason I ask is that I am Brantford local. Would like to chat if you want.

Close, I lived in Brantford for a couple years after immigrating from the Netherlands, then moved to Paris in 2007. I still cycle through Brantford often, along the Grand River, either towards Waterford and on to Port Dover or towards Hamilton.

Leg 5, around Greenland to Iceland. The quality of FS 2020 is a bit lacking this far North, There is still plenty to enjoy but there are a lot of bugs in the height map as well.

Stonehenge, unfortunately sunk into the ground.

The magic roundabout of Swindon

I’ve worked with maps for most of my professional life including GPS navigation and this roundabout was one of the headscratchers, how to model traffic flow, map match correctly and provide clear instructions. It’s one big roundabout with 5 little roundabouts at every exit going in the opposite direction. I don’t think we ever got to figuring it out, you’re on your own, good luck.

Birmingham, it’s big

Last stop Onecoat Morridge, touch down before it got too dark to see the landing strip.

The most landings on a single day so far and I’m not aiming to beat that record. I think I have the fast landing technique down to a tee in the Bonanza :smiley: So satisfying to swoop in, touch down at minimum speed at the very start of the runway, engine idling all the way down. Then plenty room left to start up again and continue on. Those parking brakes are really strong! They flip the Shock Ultra over if you don’t modulate braking.

First Alton towers, the biggest amusement park in the UK

Blythburg

Harwich where the ferries arrive, I didn’t see any. Boats don’t seem to be working.

Detour visiting London before heading back to the coast

Brand’s hatch, one of my favorite circuits

Dover where the channel tunnel comes up

Brighton with the Brighton Palace Pier

Coming in for a landing at Sandown on the Isle of Wight

Bournemouth

Portland, the castle doesn’t show very well unfortunately

Leaving the UK from the Isles of Scilly

To arrive in the dark in Brest, Brittany, France

Update for London. After world update 3 came out I have gone back to London to check out all the glorious new details.

London Tower Bridge

St. Pauls Cathedral

London Blackfriars

Hammersmith

London Bridge and The Shard

London Eye

London is currently over 40 GB of photogrammetry data. My laptop can only keep up at half to quarter sim rate. If I go faster than 40 knots the scenery starts to degrade and I have to slow down again or pause. Great scenery for a hot air balloon ride though!

Visiting my favorite race track today, but first Paris. The weather is a bit gloomy, Versailles

A familiar view yet the Jardins du Trocadéro are rather flat

The ‘glass’ pyramid at the Louvre museum is there (awesome museum)

Unfortunately Notre Dame has burned to the ground in FS 2020. The buildings that are modeled kind of stick out like a sore thumb, must be the weather :confused:

Euro Disney, lovely times visiting there as a kid

Parc Asterix with my favorite wooden rollercoaster!

Courcelles sur Vesle

There it is, my favorite race track in the world! Nürburgring Nordschleife.

I wish GT Sport would add rain to this track!

Passing through Adenau

And of course the Karussell

Back to Belgium along the Eifel

And on to Spa-Franchorcamps, another favorite

From a separate session earlier, flying the track in the Shock Ultra

Off to find Brussels, there it is

Big spiral to come in for a landing

Despite the gloomy weather, Brussels looks great!

National Basilica of the Sacred Heart

Parc du Cinquantenaire

The sloping lock of Ronquières

A true marvel of engineering

It also reminds me of my grandfather who liked to take his self made boat on tours to France from the Netherlands, all through connecting inland waterways.

Finally, the sun comes out in Charleroi

Calais, the other end of the Channel tunnel

And finally arriving in Terneuzen, the Netherlands.

Revisiting Paris after World Update 4, turned into a lovely PG Area

I was born and raised in the Netherlands so I know where to go here.

First to Kaatsheuvel to visit the Efteling

The fairy tale forest was a childhood favorite

I flew over to Germany to visit the movie park there. The Ruhr industrial area is quite striking

Movie park Germany with The Neverending Story ride, one of my favorite books

Apeldoorn, the town I grew up in, showing Paleis het Loo down there

There is not a lot of wildlife left in the Netherlands so got to make sure they can safely cross the road

Wild crossing at Hoge Veluwe national park.

I was born in Amsterdam and went back there to University

Unfortunately the more you know a place, the less good it looks in FS 2020

I lived on the 12th floor of the student apartment building right below my plane on the water

It’s right below the approach to Schiphol airport. The whole building would shake when a heavy out bound cargo plane came over.

Back to the West coast past Reeuwijk

Berkenwoude, the effort to keep the land dry. Large parts of the Netherlands are below sea level

Wassenaar, some nature left next to the beach

Tulip fields supplying the Keukenhof (down right)

The beach at Nordwijkerhout, you can beach walk all along the coast

Circuit Zandvoort

More tulip fields in Noord-Holland

The Afsluitdijk which made the Flevopolder possible, claiming land from the sea

Terschelling, one of the wadden isles, a favorite destination for a short holiday

You can walk to the mainland at low tide, called Wadlopen (mudflat hiking)

Since it got dark I touched down in Drachten, Friesland.

Update: World update 4 is out so I took a couple screenshots of Amsterdam now it has PG data.

Continuing on from Drachten, heading South to Giethoorn, Venice of Holland.

Lelystad, a city build on land reclaimed from the Zuider zee, now called IJsselmeer.

The typical Dutch landscape, flat as a pancake

The famous motorsport circuit TT Assen, next to Assen.

Leaving the Netherlands in the North East at Delfzijl

Exploring the rest of the Wadden sea islands, Spiekeroog

Femø off the coast of Denmark, standing out from the air as a big target

Legoland next to the airport in Billund

The west coast of Denmark near Vedersø Klit Båke

Stenbjerg, enjoying the endless beach

Unfortunately the Vigsø Battery did not show up on FS 2020 apart from a few random AI generated shacks on the beach. It is a bit further along the coast

Arrival in Göteborg, Sweden in the dark. One thing that stood out in Denmark was how many windmills there are. The landscape is littered with them.

A few showers in Ulricehamn

Which brought out some nice rainbows near Anderstorp

Double rainbow at Jankoping

Flying East to Öland, the second largest island in Sweden, here passing Strandtorp

Coming in for a landing at Visby

At the North end of Öland, Gotland GP E circuit, lined by windmills

Gotska Sandön, a beautiful island, a national park with amazing sand dunes.

Stockholm, the capital

Enjoying flying low over the lakes at Vasteras

Forests and lakes at Orebro, most of the landscape is like this

Gallerasen arena, another motorsport circuit

The land is getting a bit more dry around Finholt

On to Norway, arriving in Oslo

Very nice city in FS 2020

And arriving at Ose just before dark

Nice landing on a small airfield in a valley, beautiful place
