... in a quite decent flight simulator!

Hi everyone! I'm LostRealist, I go by that alias on a lot of places so maybe you know me, but if not, I guess that's all the better!
I'm a college student from northern Germany so I got nothing but time on my hands save for a few weeks during the year and I've been getting into flight simulation recently, to the point where I bought a stick and now I actually see how it would be fun to fly a simulated aircraft. It is, it is fun.
But I thought I'm kinda not having enough of a project just hopping from city to city in individual flights; I want a bigger goal, I want something to achieve.

I'll be playing Flight Simulator X by Microsoft, which to me was the most easily understandable simulation and it flies fine. I guess it gets some heat from purists and the like, what with ATC being a farce pretty much and the simulation not being very thoroughly realistic, but I enjoy playing it because everything works, it runs surprisingly smooth on my laptop (after SP1, of course) and it's fun and easy to get into.
So the goal that I was referring to up there will be a full flight around the world, from every major destination to the next and with some leisure VFR stuff if the time is right. I will switch airplanes and I will mix longer routes with shorter ones, major airports with small airfields and the likes. It will be a total blast is what I'm trying to imply here.

Uh, shit?

So before our long journey starts, here's how it's gonna work.
I will start at the airport which is closest to my current real-life location which will either be Damme (EDWC) or Diepholz Airbase (ETND). They're both a short trip away from the city I live now. Damme is a pretty nice place but then Diepholz Airbase is an Airbase and that's badass. The first leg of our tour will be a short trip from either of those places to Bremen Airport (EDDW) and then north to Nordholz Navy (ETMN), which is where the Naval Aviation Branch "Count Zeppelin" resides and that's just badass once again. From Nordholz it's also a short hop to Kuhrstedt-Bederkesa (EDXZ) which is a tiny little airstrip just two or three miles away from the village I grew up at. It's a trip back home! I'll probably make a full stop there and then start the second leg going from EDXZ to Hamburg Airport (EDDH) which will be the first really major airport I'll visit (I'm not gonna go ahead and declare Bremen a "major" airport). From there, our journey really takes off, I'm just not yet sure where.
I'm gravitating heavily to traveling the world eastbound. From Hamburg I would head for Scandinavia, maybe Stockholm or Helsinki, then into Russia and so on. Another option I've been pondering is going to Scandinavia and then west, across Greenland and then into Canada. I have a bit of a rough plan in mind going eastbound, but it doesn't include any way whatsoever to fit Greenland in there, which is a bummer. On the other hand it will let me visit Antartica, which is ten times cooler than Greenland any day of the week.
But I have two legs ahead of me until I decide which way to go. From Diepholz AB (yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be the airbase) to Kuhrstedt-Bederkesa, we'll take off in a light aircraft, probably the Cessna Skyhawk that has the G1000 glass cockpit in it, because that's just straight up gold. I might switch for something else for the second leg, I'm not that sure yet. I haven't planned a whole route yet, I will make up the coming legs as I go along.
When it comes to all the surroundings, I will pick an airline callsign and stick with it throughout the tour and it will be one of the default FSX airlines. I haven't gotten into custom content at all yet and there's a pretty real chance that I won't, so sorry about that. I quite like FSX's liveries anyway. I'm still split on what airline I'm going to take but it's likely to either wind up being Orbit or World Travel 'cause those just make some sense. Every one of my planes is gonna have RJT-2209 as its tail number, which are the initials and date of birth of my girlfriend. The flight numbers are going to be derived from the leg that I'm on and maybe some other shit around it.
I will document my journey with logs and loads of screenshots, I'll try to keep you posted on everything of interest and maybe, just maybe I'll also shoot some videos with commentary at some point.

So join me on my flight around the world starting and ending at the Diepholz Air Base (yup, it's gonna be Diepholz AB). Estimated time of takeoff: At some point tomorrow.
