Re:An unofficial and free mod for FS2020 to load Google Maps... by GekkePrutser on Monday November 08, 2021 @08:46PM (#29156721)
One thing in particular that's really stupid for a flightsim is that it lacks military and dual-use airports in the Netherlands. So major passenger airports like Eindhoven (probably the #2 nationally) don't exist at all because there's a few F-16s based there too. Even the aerial photos have been edited to resemble a farm. It's so dumb.

I think it's because Bing still blurs those too. It's not been required by law for over 10 years and Google doesn't do so. But bing never bothered to fix it.

It's just really stupid when going for a high fidelity sim and then leaving major airports out.

Ps: sorry for being so outspoken but I just don't understand how it makes sense to leave so many airports out. FSX never did that, X-plane doesn't and even other mapping services don't.
