Flightsimulator used in 9/11?
Hey i was thinkin i was talkin to one of my co-workers and he advised me that they took the Twin Towers out of all the Flight Simulators... I wonder in the Terrorist ever used that game to plan their attack... really weird.. never thought about that, just somethin to think about... Thats all just general discussion..
September 11 Affects the Game Industry
The tragic terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11 cause many game developers and publishers to make changes to their upcoming products:
* Spider-Man 2 for the PlayStation is delayed to remove a scene that had the superhero on top of a building that looked like the World Trade Center.
* The packaging of Command & Conquer Yuri's Revenge is altered to eliminate shots of US landmarks being attacked.
* Unspecified changes are made to Grand Theft Auto III and Smugglers' Run 2 before their releases in order to remove content that might be questionable after the attacks.
* Originally scheduled for a late September release on the PlayStation, the spy-oriented Syphon Filter 3 is delayed until November because its subject matter might be deemed inappropriate so soon after September 11.
* The release of Propeller Arena for the Dreamcast is postponed because "it is possible for a determined individual to deliberately play the game in a manner that generates images similar to those we have seen on the news," according to Sega of America representatives. The air combat game is eventually cancelled.
* Updates to Electronic Arts' multimedia conspiracy thriller Majestic are suspended shortly after the attacks to free up the nation's communications system and because "some of the fictional elements in the game may not be appropriate at this time," according to a company statement. The game resumes on September 18.
* Changes are made to Flight Simulator 2002 to remove the World Trade Center towers from the flying environment and a patch is released to remove them from Flight Simulator 2000

Re: Flightsimulator used in 9/11?
I remember the original trailor for spider man 2 had him make a big web using the WTC and catching some bad guys doing so they also took it out of the video game
