GPS jamming and spoofing. How to simulate it?

[Vitold69]

Going to fly from Copenhagen to Bangkok on Thai Airways TG951 (PMDG 777) for 10 and half hours.

The route lies along Southern coast of the Black Sea, Middle East, Iran... The area is a well-known for constant GPS jamming and spoofing.

There is an excellent video on YouTube from Flightradar24 about this.

So how to simulate it? I remember there is an option in PMDG 777 FMC to turn off GPS. Isn't it? I tried to do it once after 1 hour flight and turning GPS off gave me even better ANP 🤔 (0.06 vs 0.07).

P.S. And yes. I'm going to sit in front of my computer for 10 and 1/2 hours instead of going to dentist, etc. No XXX speed and other cheating.  I will turn off automatic reply to ATC to increase workload. Plus time and fuel records along the route and step climbs. And there are many other things to do actually. To see sundown over Caspian Sea and sunrise over Bay of Bengal for instance. Then hot Bangkok 🇹🇭. Short rest and - ❤️🥂❤️!

From my experience, MSFS possibly has this by default.

Yeah, I never "fast forward" while simming either.

As for the jamming? Meh. Just pretend haha

Think the only addon that could feasibly simulate this on any platform, is the Hot Start Challenger 650. It straight up has an in-sim view of jamming zones, connections to GPS satellites etc.
