Your tour looks good, I am tempted.
I have just completed an XP tour using my Beech 35 V-tail, from Shoreham to
Cape Town vain Gib, Sudan, the Nile, Port Elisabeth and west along the
coast, Kysna/George/Outschoon.
Amazing scenery along the way, had to create some airfields along for full
stops.
I love XP, MSFS is just a waste of space on my drive.

I list my full itinerary below. Re photoscenery - there is a freeware
utility for X-Plane (Ortho4XP) which creates photoscenery from satellite
imagery, all at zero cost, with amazing results: see attached screenshot
taken near EGPT (Perth).

Flight sim has always had many choices - 25 years ago we had FS4,
Sublogic/ATP, Fly!, Flight Unlimited. The current range of sims can
present some challenges to configure for optimum performance - but
assistance with every aspect is available either on the forums or videos on
Youtube.

Hello all
It seems quite some time since we had a JHB post - so I thought I would
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.
far as possible visiting provincial airports and avoiding capital cities
My idea is to have one, and only one, stop in each EU country, and as
(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
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.
