I'm over 150hrs into it and an obsessed. I mostly fly in the Bay Area. The data is old but is good enough where I could not only find my house, but saw my car in the driveway.

There's a free plugin for swapping in Google maps data to but it's really best for areas without photogrammetry.

But the sim is so detailed that when I went on a discovery flight IRL I had zero issues finding my home from the air because I already was familiar with the view from up there.
