Just like all the student parties from my youth, there’s bound to be a four pack of Stone’s bitter left at the end.

So, how’s the scenery/weather? I recall XP11 being fairly generic unless you were willing to pony up for the add on scenery.
I imagine XP12 must have addressed that at least somewhat.
I will start with weather as that part was updated in 12.
in 12 LR has introduced 3D clouds plus they have updated overall visual representation of effects like rain and wet surfaces, icing etc.
I am using ActiveSkyXP just to better translate the METARs to the game.
unfortunately scenery wasnt updated much. without manual effort there is nothing much to see.
so I use ortho4xp to generate satellite imagery and more detailed mesh plus SimHeaven products to populate the cities and make the roads look like roads.
wanted to add also GlobalForests product to populate the forests but unfortunately the dev moved to orbx platform and they dont accept paypal.
trees were updated in 12 though. LR introduced 3D trees with seasonal effects and effects of wind on them.
still GlobalForests looks much much better.
so at this point I can only add the following

wanted to speed up my progress so tried the DWS F-16D in XP12 but was not satisfied with the performance of XP12 and performance of that particular module so jumped in MSFS default F/A-18
did the transfer of the beer from the barrels from the back of my DC-3 into brand new fuel tanks to transform this bird into ‘beer barrel bomber’ but … the fuel tanks are not visible to the naked eye unfortunately hope I will find some good mod to fix it

rocketing the rocket center
took off from SFS Skid Strip, so went to check Space Centre (POI), turned back a little to check the Space Force base (custom-ized airport) and then buzzed Shuttle Landing Facility ap. all in no time at 500+ kts
and practiced few approaches to Jekyll Island, as its worth its ‘hidden’ name especially with that crosswind
