Flying VFR for me depends on where you fly and what equipment do you use.
Going through Europe, Asia, Middle East, Australia or North America you only need your GPS (screen) and fsxmap.com , I flew vfr for the last 2 years only using these ‘tools’.
It gets interesting when flying in remote parts of the world, Africa or Mongolia for example. Then a bit of knowledge of VOR’s and NDB’s come in handy. But even then you can do without if you have google maps, and navigate by mountains, sand dunes, rivers, dry river beds, lakes and rock formations
