It uses FSX 30cm/pixel aerial photography but it is extracted from a
22.5cm/pixel original database.
Hopefully FSX or any other FSIM should be upgraded to 22.5cm/pixel and
instead of a scenery of a 70,000 Coffs Harbour, the scenery should be
in large cities such as London.
Even with the Coffs Scenery, it requires 8800 gpu at a less than Ultra
High quality setting. My HD3450 will be too slow but so far it is
useable.
I'm using Tileproxy beta 8 in building, hopefully 1.1m/pixel ,
sceneries extracted from Microsoft Live map. Google is no longer
supported but it was not allowed.
This is done in my Vista 64. Initially I thought I cannot run tile
proxy but it turned out, I just need to disable the device signature
during boot by pressing F8 key for booting options.
The above discussion group shows that flight simulators can be used
for Pilot Time provided instructors are available but this is in USA.

The above is the detailed document but it is better to read the group
discussion.
The approved FSIM that has the fastest site is ATC as shown by this
information:

It looks very interesting and does not appear to be very expensive
because it does not require any tilting mechanism. It duplicates a
Cesna instrument panel quite well.
It would be nice if this machine is available at Kota Kinabalu Air
Club. We can play around with it safely.
