Today I finally took on leg #85 of my Around the World Tour that started back in 2015 with the A2A Piper Comanche on FSX and then P3D. I took a long break after the first FS2020 previews kinda ruined FSX/P3D for me. 
This leg took me over the beautiful Australian desert in my aircraft of choice for the world tour, the steam gauge version of the C172. Each leg is flown in real time, no acceleration allowed. So far I’ve covered 20,717 nautical miles (38,369 kilometers) in over 141 hours, flying over Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
Here is the “Road So Far”:

When I was still a C-5 Flight Engineer, we did a mission to Alice Springs and then Sydney, Australia. Somehow we managed to do a side trip and flew over Ayers Rock. Man that was impressive, just like in this sim. Nice job!

Awesome post and pictures. Doing something similar myself (see my Round the World VFR (ish) post in this forum) but going the other way. How did you get your world map like that? Are you manually editing a map, or is there some software doing this for you?

I’m using the free software Plan-G by TAS Software. It’s currently only supporting FSX, P3D and X-Plane but FS2020 support is coming soon.
FS2020 can already load flight plans created with Plan-G but in order to use Plan-G properly you have to import an airport database from a sim you are using. So, unless you already have the database imported from FSX and P3D you won’t see any airports in the Plan-G map.

Many thanks, I will look into this. It looks very interesting. I’ve got x plane so maybe that will work for me.
