Is there a way to use multiple devices to control the same PC?
From a quick search, the MSFSTouchPortalPlugin implements a way to use multiple devices, however this seems to require both another PC and its specifically tailored to flight simulators. I feel like this could be done on a single PC via having another Touch Portal instance open with a different set of ports.

Beginners guide to "Around the World" trip in FS2020
There are many ways to approach the planning and recording your progress, but I will advocate for simplicity here. Google Earth is free and widely used app. The reason I use it for planning is because you can examine the terrain in 3D and determine if it will be interesting enough to fly over. But it also becomes a great visual record of the trip once you use a simple app like PilotPathRecorder that is a freeware and it will generate a Path that can be easily imported into Google Earth as KML file.

Not the smoothest ILS approach but a landing's a landing, right?
This was the track of my attempt in MSFS 2020 to land a Cessna 172 at KIAD 1R using the localizer with DoNotBeOnFire's fog preset active. I tracked the approach using Pilot Path Recorder, then recorded the track in Google Earth using OBS.

MSFS US Tour in F-15
I recently completed a scenic tour of the US in the DC Designs F-15. I designed the route around national parks, major US cities, and places I've been before. The speed of this plane enabled me to cover hundreds of miles in 30-60 minute flights, and finish the trip in a reasonable amount of time. The flights were recorded with pilot path recorder and imported into Google Earth. VFRmap was also used for navigation. I took close to 500 screenshots from the trip, but narrowed it down to a few below.
