When I first installed FSX (before I knew I'd really learn to fly) I loved the missions, and one of my favorites was always the one where you fly Area 51 employees to Groom Lake. I still fly it more than I care to admit 
This morning I started wondering about mimicking this flight on PilotEdge, and whether or not it'd work? From my understanding, it should up to the point where I'm supposed to talk to the tower (since military fields are uncontrolled). Here is the text from the mission describing the route:

If this can be done on the network, how would I handle the restricted area and say that I have permission to go into it?Your planned route takes you from McCarran International Airport (KLAS) in Las Vegas, direct to the Mercury NDB (MCY 326) at Desert Rock, then north up the Emigrant Valley to "Pyramid" waypoint, then to Groom Lake.
Expect your initial clearance out of Las Vegas to include a climb to 4,500 feet on runway heading (010 degrees). Once you're north of the city, expect a clearance to climb to your flight-planned altitude of 14,000 feet, and to resume your own navigation.
