Discovery Flights – Unique Places 11

After extensive research, I’ve managed to find more unique places on the Earth’s surface that you’d otherwise easily overlook during flights—flying right past them without even noticing them—or that you wouldn’t even come close to on your usual flight paths. So I’m delighted to be able to continue this series. Although these discovery flights last only about 10 minutes, each one offers a sense of wonder and, at the same time, an “aha” moment—which is what makes them so unique.

These six discovery flights take you to some very interesting structures that have not yet been included as POIs in the simulator, as well as a geological feature in the heart of Africa. Here’s what you’ll see on these discovery flights:

• Bourtange
• Brøndby Haveby
• A heart-shaped garden pond
• Tanegashima Space Center
• Europe’s largest aircraft parking lot
• The “Lips of Sudan”

On these discovery flights, you never fly directly toward the selected object. You have to follow directions to find it. This makes the flight a bit more exciting, and you can discover many other interesting things in the simulator along the way. But don’t worry—you’ll always find it. After searching for a while, a marker visible from afar will indicate the object in question. This can give your ambition a little extra boost. See if you can find what you’re looking for before the marker appears.

The texts are multilingual and machine-translated into all MSFS languages. If you find any errors, please feel free to let me know.

If a tile for one of the flights is missing under Activities / Third-Party Content, it’s usually because an aircraft from the Standard Edition and/or a livery for it is missing. So make sure that all standard aircraft, including their liveries, are installed. The only exceptions are the jets; I don’t use them for these flights.

If you’ve found other locations worth flying to, feel free to send me an email at my support address—preferably with coordinates. The contact information will appear below once you’ve purchased this product.

If you purchased this product on the MSFS 2020 Marketplace, a free upgrade for MSFS 2024 is available.

So now, have fun flying and exploring, Koschi
