it isn't accurate enough to navigate by especially in non-urban areas.

Depends on what add-ons you have. Many new ones have the terrain
derived from satellite imagery. For example, with MegaScenery New
York, I can fly around a lot of northern New Jersey and actually follow
the roads to my house. People in England have add-ons that reportedly
let them see their house!

And... coolest of all... someone did an addon instrument that
reportedly lets you drive Google Earth in sync with MSFS. So you get
the satellite imagery there along with arrows to airports if you wish
etc.


I'm sure there are all sorts of things you can buy that will make MSFS more
realistic but right now I'm spending ALL my extra cash getting that pile of
aluminum in my hanger ready for flight. And I said MSFS not MSFS and
add-ons.
