Add-ons, mods, and other community content are an important part of MSFS and we deeply appreciate the work being done to enhance the sim. However, we do not recommend using any streamed map data add-on to replace Bing maps.
Discussion of the Google Maps mod or any addon that alters licensed data is prohibited in this forum and will be removed. As per this notice, we’ve been instructed to remove these discussions due to the legalities of using such addons in this way.
If you’ve had the mod installed at any point, and are now experiencing connectivity issues, please open Notepad as administrator (type notepad in the windows search bar, right click the App, and select ‘Run as administrator’), from there, open up the hosts file located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc . Be sure not to filter on *.txt, otherwise the file won’t show up.
Look for the following two lines, and delete them, then save the hosts file (don’t add a file extension like .txt):
Please keep in mind that add-ons, mods, and other community content are not official Microsoft Flight Simulator products and may cause issues with MSFS.
