DELORME STREET ATLAS 2015 DEUTSCHLAND SOFTWARE
They have clearly used some software routines to auto-detect "airports" using AI and it's not all correct.I could never figure out why a lot of guys want to use a laptop and mapping software when highly functional and relatively cheap GPS units are out there that will mount in the windshield in ready view and are easy to operate with the touch of a finger. KLGB has two runways in-sim that they removed 5 years ago to reduce runway incursion incidents and improve safety of operations. I took some screenshots for a Zendesk ticket but haven't had time to go do it yet.

It has the ICAO code for a real airport (located in the Pacific somewhere) assigned to it in sim, and the text name 'Barstow airport'. Looked it up on Google Maps and it's a bombing/target practice range. When landing at one location I thought something the location and layout. The best one I encountered was while testing various aircraft for my around the world flight, I'd fly out over the CA desert and just do a 'Direct to' the nearest airport to land after I had all my data collected. On the original topic of closed airports, yes there are a number of them in the sim, as well as some other oddities. So while it might seem ridiculous that a government or military arm MIGHT get upset over a game that uses publically available material, remember, it's happened before. Nor was FS9 or FSX released with intentionally inaccurate flight models, or set in a "fictional" planet with different cities.

Thankfully for us, saner heads prevailed and FS2K was NOT the last flight simulator published.
Much the way that some modern Air Combat games now include fictional locations and planes so as to not paint any existing government as the "bad guy" It looked as if some government bureaucrats were insisting that future versions required fictional planes or fictional continents such as "Oceana" or "Pacifica" or "Eurocom" so that terrorists couldn't use future flight sim products as training tools. I seem to remember congressional hearings regarding the use of FS2K in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and whether such a "video game" was too dangerous for the general populace. Just seems odd that a military would get upset at the idea that someone playing a video game would know what their runway looks like, but hasn't prevented that information from being spread all over the internet. You should probably be more worried about that dude over there taking pictures of the ceiling with his cell phone. Well, yeah, but it's extremely unlikely that a criminal is watching Channel 7 News to plan his bank robbery. 9 times out of 10 security got really antsy because they were nervous that I'd be getting pictures of their security camera placements. It's kinda like back when I used to work in television, and would have an interview in a bank. Or if they're an enemy state, they can get it with their own satellites. They don't need a consumer flight simulator to do it, and are extremely unlikely to choose a flight simulator for intelligence gathering. The point is that if some bad actor wants to get a photograph of a military installation, they can get it with the satellite maps freely available on the internet. Yeah, but MSFS is not monitoring soldier movements, so that's not really an issue.
