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.

It's always been a great site. Now, it's even better.

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.

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
