World Update 17: United Kingdom & Ireland has released, and with it comes five bespoke, hand-crafted airports, along with eleven cities with a fresh coat of paint. We've decided to do another tour to visit all five new bespoke airports. This time we've also decided to integrate the new cities into the tour, so not only will you get to view all the new hand-crafted airports, you will also get to experience the new imagery available by landing at airports within or near those cities. At the very least you will fly over them. And we've thrown in some scenic, interesting, and unique airports between them to flesh out the tour and keep the legs manageable for anyone to fly.
Embark on a captivating journey from Donegal, Ireland to the Out Skerries, Scotland, filled with diverse history, culture, and natural beauty. Begin in Donegal's rugged coastal landscapes, then experience Belfast's blend of history and modernity, which await you in Northern Ireland. Explore Cork's vibrant cultural scene and Waterford's Viking heritage. Cardiff, the capital of Wales, boasts landmarks like Cardiff Castle. Explore the country's aviation heritage with Farnborough being home to its famous international airshow and Stansted being one of the busiest airports in the UK. A unique highlight of the tour is Barra, where the beach serves as the runway, making it the only airport in the world with this feature. Finally, Sumburgh in the Shetland Islands presents stunning natural beauty and ancient Viking history. This tour showcases the rich and varied destinations across the UK and Ireland.
Many of the individual legs are very short, so they're great for flying low and slow to get a good look at the scenery. Be sure to take note of some of the runway lengths. Some of them may be quite short!
We have included a Little NavMap flight plan that may help with flight planning for the trip. You may use it if you wish.
Note: This achievement was created in celebration of the Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update XVII - United Kingdom & Ireland release, but you may complete the flights in any simulator of your choice!
