Worldtour in XCub / 3-6 months / (english/deutsch)

Featured Replies

Hi everyone!

I’ve been longing for an authentic world tour in flight simulation for a very long time.

With the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, especially MSFS 2024, this dream has come true. And flying in VR, the level of realism has become so high that I often find myself completely amazed. Huge thanks to Microsoft and Asobo Studio.

That’s why back in 2021, I decided to embark on this journey around the globe. Now that I have more time on my hands again, I am officially resuming—or rather restarting—the tour right away. It will cover all continents, taking me to as many interesting landscapes and landmarks as possible along the way.

I am flying in a CubCrafters XCub, but I might switch to a faster aircraft for certain legs along the route. I’m planning roughly 3 to 6 months for the entire journey and will document every stage through flight plans, reports, and photos.

For this reason, I’ve built a website where anyone interested can track my flight around the earth. I would love to inspire others with this project and share the experience with you.

The website is available in both German and English at:

www.fs-worldtour.com

I’ve also set up a Discord server for anyone interested, fellow pilots, and like-minded simmers:

Have a great flight!

Hallo Leute!

Ich habe mich schon sehr lange nach einer authentischen Weltreise im Flugsimulator gesehnt.

Mit dem neuen Microsoft Flight Simulator, besonders der MSFS24, ist dieser Traum wahr geworden. Und beim Fliegen in VR ist der Realismusgrad sehr hoch geworden und ich komme oft aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus. Danke an Microsoft und Asobo Studio.

Deshalb habe ich mich 2021 dazu entschlossen, solch eine Weltreise zu starten. Fortgesetzt, besser gesagt neugestartet, wird sie ab sofort, da ich wieder mehr Zeit habe. Die Tour wird über alle Kontinente gehen und ich werde so viele interessante Landschaften und Sehenswürdigkeiten wie möglich unterwegs ansteuern.

Ich fliege mit einer CubCrafters XCub, aber es kann auch sein, dass ich unterwegs mal auf ein schnelleres Flugzeug wechseln werde. Ich plane ungefähr 3-6 Monate für die gesamte Tour und werde alle Etappen in Form von Flugplänen, Berichten und Fotos festhalten.

Aus diesem Grund habe ich eine Webseite erstellt, die allen Interessierten dazu dienen soll, meinen Flug um die Erde nachverfolgen zu können. Ich würde mich freuen viele andere Menschen für mein Vorhaben begeistern zu können und daran teilhaben zu lassen.

Die Website ist verfügbar in Deutsch sowie in Englisch unter www.fs-worldtour.com

Zudem habe ich einen Discord-Server für Interessierte, Mitflieger und Gleichgesinnte eingerichtet:

Guten Flug!

Nice website to capture your journey, your memorable sights and log all your different flight segments. Well done!

Will you be flying every day?

Wising you all the best on your round the world trip and safe travels.

Guten Flug auf deine Weltreise!😎

Thank you!

Yes, I try to make one flight per day.

Supercool. I'd like to do this myself in de Comanche....only if I had more time in the mancave ;) Do you use vor/ils etc or are you going from a to b with GPS?

Thanks for sharing and happy flying my friend!

Cheers

Thanks.

I'm quite lazy and fly directly using GPS. Of course, I do the takeoffs and landings manually.

You should go the extra mile and do some real flightplanning. I found this to be the most fun about VFR flying: Having to figure out where you are actually allowed to fly and where you have to be in contact with a controller and where you can just fly as you see fit.
