I hope the government will not use this as an excuse to decommission VORs..
VORs are the only back-up for a satellite system that is easily jammed or
spoofed (unless you have an INS, but there aren't too many small single-engine
aircraft so equipped).


Why do you care? It doesn't affect MSFS.

BTW, you really demonstrate how clueless you are for real world
flying.

If the satellite system is jammed it's just not ONLY going to affect
small engine airplanes. I use the very same satellites in my Garmin
430 and 296 as the airliners do.
