Unnamed island? Hmmmm?

been recovered from Capt Zaharie’s simulator which had been used to practice landing an aircraft on a small runway on an unnamed island in the far southern Indian Ocean....

Several of my grandson’s racing Xbox games have islands which include runways without airports, race tracks and roads on which to race which appear very similar to actual roads in other places but the games have no people or cities. If anyone really sure it wasn’t a video game that was loaded into his simulator?
What we don’t as yet know is how long he had this flight simulator and how many other simulations he programmed into it. Was this landing simulation on a small island in the Indian Ocean just one of many hundreds of other simulations? Was this landing simulation recent and frequently run, or was it just one of many other landing scenarios he had run in the past?
After all, a pilot buys a simulator to train himself on all possible landing scenarios to include small islands, now doesn’t he?
