Story:

Cape Town - North Pole ... Crazy plan, just start at the Cape and 'fly north'. It's long, it's boring, it'll take 100 1hour sessions, but it's different every flight, live weather ... it's ... Adventure? Because I like MSFS2020 VR, but have trouble to decide what/where to fly. So, a few days ago I had this idea. Why not fly from Cape Town to the North Pole? Then I wouldn't have to worry about the above question. I would have a target, a goal, an objective. Yes, it's long and boring. And I estimated it'll take 100 sessions ... so, I'm not sure if I will finish it. Maybe I throw in the towel after a few sessions ... but it felt good. And when I took off at Struisbaai and turned away from the ocean I felt shivers. Shivers of 'a great adventure to start'. It's weird, and it's magic ... VR ... And the sense of arriving at the next airfield feels good. Actually being happy that I have made it to the next stop. So ... is it too ambitious? Or is it actually the 'right' thing to do in VR. In VR you 'are there' ... so, now I'm not only there but I have a 'real' thing to do. Thanks to VR, thanks to MSFS2020 and its marvel streamed world map and live weather.
