@dogmeat I wonder how much stuff like google maps has played into that. Lots of games and apps just plug into all this data which is around now, whereas years ago it would have been a much bigger deal to map all these tiny airfields and stuff. I know with the virtual cycling you can ride all sorts of courses and roads, not sure if the golf software is still limited to the famous venues or there are heaps of other venues you can play.
Microsoft Flight Simulator uses it's own map software to real time map the world, you can mod it to use the better Google maps. MS and modders also release specific areas/airports that are upscaled. It is pretty amazing. Nothing like that was around in 911 though, but cockpits were realistic.

@Machpants my flying was limited to GTA games
And it can be a lot of effort without cheat codes to get a plane. In the game I mean!

Yeah looks similar to what the RNZAF would've got

Saw one of these flying quite slowly from the train near Settle in Yorkshire.
Not a clue what it was doing there, but Menwith Hill is nearby

Maybe delete this post or move elsewhere. But just read an article on a speech by one of the survivors of this crash. 50 years back late last year
October 13, 1972.
It is one of the better-known survival stories, and will shortly be even better known to a new generation when the Neflix movie directed by J.A.Bayona is released later this year.
