Is there some Copyright reason we don't see Country Names on the Map?

No idea why we see Clouds on the World Map but we don't even see Country Names.
WTF???
At least the WEATHER LAYER can be removed in Filters.

time to learn some geography then huh?

Or you could search for the airport in google beforehand....

Nope. I don't wish to use outside APPS. I can't be expected to know the World.
Seems to be a lazy addition just as there is no Roles except Free Flight and use this as an Engine to build your own use with. That is shortsighted for longevity from Microsoft to have this approach.

I mean-- Lol as this is a flight sim-- a pilot would know these things, they would use outside resources. Considering that flying with players as acting ATC uses third party apps- Third party software is what makes or break flightsims. Look at any other flight sim.

Welcome to the community.

Cheers. I'm not gonna use 3rd-Party APPS. Microsoft will have to take heed.

I know one thing.. It is not due to copyrights that you dont see country names. ;-)
I think the game was designed without country/borders and there can be many reasons for this.. example they saved time making such a feature = money
And the programmers could work on more important things.
Example the game have many bugs
Maybe someday they will implement country names and borders on the map.

LOL You are threatening MS. The 1.6 trillion dollar company. Good luck. A board member farting at the wrong time could cost them more than this whole software project.

Let's put it like this. I feel sorry for the guy that was sacked just because he spoke up ;)
Microsoft need butts kicked.

Well don't hurt your toe too much. MS has a really big butt.

I recommend giving https://skyvector.com/ a try to get an idea of what you are looking for. Real pilots use this site and it's free. Here you can find all the info you need in regards to airports, airways, and approach/departure charts. I noticed that Skyvector does not list the countries on the big map. My guess is they assume you know where you are/going?

This is how it's done in the real world. As a flight sim there is nothing to "heed" at Microsoft. They give us a fairly good flight planner in the sim. More than that is a waste of available resources already available elsewhere.

This thread is a bunch of bootlickers.

Thanks for the site only this is already in the Game. What isn't is the 196 Country Names. I mean how hard is it now to just simply add a name on a map they took from Google? NOT HARD. Is this what it means to be a Pilot and talk 4 Letter Codes for Airports for their pickup lines? I'm sure the first line of "Hi, I'm a Pilot" stands true to being no.1 of all pickups but the crap that follows it I dunno. I'd rather just have names and right now without pissing about.

So the truth is they did not want to upset TAIWAN & CHINA plus other Countries to not crap on and this makes it future proof for both Russia & CHINA land grabbing. Hey this is the real world so don't shoot me for it. It is what it is ok.

[Jericho]

They have a sign in Hollywood I flew over it and there it was. Is Hollywood a country?

[★Macman★]

As much as Bollywood is LOL
Just try looking at North Korea. RKOK R 107? At least you can land huh.

So did you start the thread asking a question you now claim to know the answer to? Because that's what it's looking like. And that would be the actions of someone trolling.
