If your program has access to the IFR Enroute Low Altitude charts,
It only has rudimentary charts, but all the basic info is accurate.
BTW, I use X-Plane, which just released version 10. Much more accurate
flight model. What's sad is I can pull off a CAT-III approach in a
777 about as easy as I can stay on course in a 172.... sheesh.
I can 'fly', but I know in the real world you can't always 'just fly'
anywhere you want.
If you are interested in looking at these go to the FAA site:

nroute
I've snagged regular sectionals already. I'll go snag these, too.
since most gov charts are the traditional .tif format with coordinates
embedded in the file. Anyway you can easily look at the .pdf charts.
tif...pdf... doesn't matter to me. the tiffs are probably geotiffs
for use in GIS software.... which I have too. Another interest of mine
is maps and related stuff. Was doing "Google Earth" type stuff before
Google Earth existed.
