• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It's basically now the "Google Earth" of aviation charts, covering the entire world with VFR and IFR en-route charts, as well as specialized charts depending on the area you zoom in on. Just play around with the website and take a look! Figured it may come in handy in the virtual world as well for those of you without real-world licenses.

Been using it for years now for both military and civilian flying, along with Airnav and Fltplan.coms. Pretty sad I can flight plan in minutes on SV vice hours using our slow mission planning computers.
 
Guessing the 'Prez' will be out and about next week judging from all the VIP zones. :mixedsmi:

Sure lot of fires back home... :kilroy:
 
What an excellent upgrade :) It is great being able to see TFR's and Weather info all on the same map...it immediately gives you a picture of where you can and can't go. Not that TFRs are a concern in virtual flying, but in the real world, this info presented in this skyvector form is very valuable.

Cheers
