Will the madrasses/mosques be blurred out?
Will Govt/Military locations be blurred out?

then there’s no need for me to spend $$$ at flight schools then? You can literally learn to fly through simulators these days.
I believe the 9/11 attackers got most of their training through flight simulators and that was many versions ago.
To: max americana
You can download current navigational data from Navigraph.com in FSX. This contains updated navaid frequencies and approach chart info. Using that in conjunction with high fidelity simulation software such as what PMDG offers will give you a taste of real world flight.
VATSim is a group of ATC afficionados that virtually control the skies. Flying with a headset and interacting with those folks will save a pilot a lot of money when training for an instrument rating.
The new FS looks fantastic. I’m a fan of software like this that inspires people to pursue aviation. Can’t wait until it comes out!

Just upgraded mine to an i9 9900K and an MSI Z390 ‘Godlike’ board with 32GB of RAM. My GTX 1080 plugged right in. Framerates are unbelievable. Hoping it’ll last for the next 5 years.

“You can download current navigational data from Navigraph.com in FSX.”
Yes.
That’s one of the tools we used on 4Chan years ago when we found that idiot Shia Labeouf’s stupid flag..

I know they haven’t announced pricing yet, but just to get an idea of the kind of money we’re talking about here... Do you have any idea what it would cost to get mid-range priced equipment (yoke, rudder pedals, headset, etc) to get involved with this?
