Today, as a break from the desert scenery on my RTW trip, I flew from Kuria ( a speck of dirt in the Pacific with an airstrip NGKT) which is part of Kiribati to a slightly larger speck of dirt in the Pacific - Nauru (ANYN)

YMML - YMHB in the vanilla A320 on VATSIM. Good fun, uneventful flight.
Planned the next legs of my RTW - started today in Beirut and will head north into Turkey before turning east and heading towards the Caspian Sea and the 'stans. The first step of that was to fly from Beirut (OLBA) to Ercan International (LCEN) near Nicosia in Cyprus.
I flew into southern New Zealand yesterday. Today, I fly to Auckland NZ, then will plan my next leg up towards Hawaii. I may or may not head up into the pacific. That should be a wet, boring flight. Thank God, for Little NavMaps and the AP to get me through the tedium of flying over the Pacific at 220 knots. Set it, forget it, set an alarm, and go play golf.
Marvelled at the weather sitting at the gas station
did some emergency training in choppy air
Oh wait, that wasn’t MSFS (couldn’t find the slew button, and the weather stayed the same no matter what I tried… but great FPS!)

Continued my RTW with a leg from Baghdad (ORBI) to Tbilisi (UGTB). Following the low altitude routes this takes you from Iraq, cuts through Turkey, Iran and Armenia before you get to Georgia. There’s also some nice mountain scenery along the way. (Some poor default texture mountains as well, but it’s very good in places).
Flown in the TBM as usual.

I’ve done three touch n go’s and one full stop landing at liverpool EGGP today
really enjoyed how MSFS live weather realistically pushed the dark grey clouds from my home 3 miles away all the way to the airport in half an hour
and to keep an eye on the overall accuracy I was tracking the clouds on Windy and Meteoblue site

Flew a nice little route that I sometimes use IRL to get off the cobwebs:
ELLX EDRG EDFV EDRL ELLX
183 NM, a mix of grass and asphalt runways of various lengths, varied terrain, and very nice to fly!
No screenshot, but I built a map if you want to recreate it.
For an added bonus try to find a map and fly the patterns exactly, which is what you have to do IRL or risk getting written up (not a joke)
(do yourself a favor and set the winds so you have RWY 06 at EDRG for a kind of “aircraft carrier” feeling

Windows spotlight is so cool. Every time I open my laptop seeing awesome photos of nature, I’m thinking of flying there later on. I keep forgetting to do so 
We should start a separate thread with photos
from Windows and FS like you did.
