What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 2)

As a meta-generator for flight plans, I sometimes take inspiration from the current picture displayed as my Windows background (which uses Bing Images 'natch). Today showed a great view of the Italian town of Verruchio, which is just inland of the Adriatic Coast. What I didn’t know was it was just northwest of San Marino, an independent republic landlocked inside Italy. TIL! :sunglasses: The nearest airport appeared to be Frederico Fellini (named after the famous Director) LIPR. And for yuks and gigles I chose to not use the GPS, instead, leveraging my lessons for cross-country techniques partly learned in the sim, circling around to pass over the airport mid-field so I could take my first heading correctly to the republic.

After overflying the three castles, the flight plan continued South - it was a bumpy ride over the hilly region - I turned East over Lake Trasimeno as a VFR POI and landed at San Egidio. It’s little trips like this that remind you how well the sim does at recreating the world.
