Hello all
It seems quite some time since we had a JHB post - so I thought I would drop
by with news of my cunning plan for a GA tour of the 28 EU states before UK
cuts itself adrift and sinks somewhere mid-Atlantic. Mind you, it will
probably take me as long to complete my tour as it will for the Brexit
negotiations since I'm not doing a huge amount of flying at the moment.
However, by devising this tour, I am hoping to get things going again.
My idea is to have one, and only one, stop in each EU country, and as far as
possible visiting provincial airports and avoiding capital cities (only
Valletta, Riga and Luxembourg). I will be using X-Plane 11 and the Alabeo
PA44 Seminole throughout, and starting/finishing at EGNS. Some of the
central European legs will be very short (as little as 30nm or so), while
those across the Med and Turkey will be upwards of 500nm. Total distance for
my itinerary is a tad over 6500nm.
As most of you know, I have been dabbling with X-Plane since v5 (I think I
was the first JHB pilot to use it). My usage of X-P has gradually increased
as it has matured, particularly since it went 64-bit 3-4 years ago. It's some
time since I dumped FSX in favour of P3D but, since X-P11's release last
November it is now largely unused and I have resisted the siren call to
upgrade to P3D v4. AFAIK Frank Fisher is the only other JHB X-P convert.
