Microsoft Flight Simulator might be as interesting for how it simulates the world as it does the, you know, flight. Using Bing Maps, the game will procedurally recreate almost the entirety of Earth with something approaching true accuracy. And I do mean "almost" the entirety of Earth.
As a connoisseur of wasting lots of my time on mapping sites just looking for weird stuff, it occurred to me that there are places that Bing can't show. Military bases, government research sites and other secretive areas are often obscured or blanked out, leading to odd areas of lost space. My first thought, when looking at the new Flight Simulator, was "how are the developers going to deal with that?"
