TFRs are not simulated on PE. As Keith explained in the past, most sim pilots don't plan for them, so it would lead to confusion if PE did.

Nope. We simulated TFR's and NOTAMs briefly when the network started. It was a lot of work on our end and didn't have a positive outcome for our users. The simple fact is, most customers either don't know how to check for them, don't know that they should check for them on PE (rightly so), or don't want to check for them. Dealing with them is not really a perishable skill, so they'res not something requiring ongoing practice, unlike, say, shooting approaches or picking up clearances.
