Logged into flight planner and for my area in the southern half of Fla and there are no longer Jet routes - only Q and Y. Some J routes appear further North but not as many as before. V airways still there. Apparently the FAA is implementing its restructuring program. Watch out - many old saved routes may no longer be valid.

The FAA has been aggressive at decommissioning the ground based system for the past few years. Bold Method from 2016:https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/navigation/the-faa-is-shutting-down-308-vors/

The good thing about MSFS and to some extent XPlane is that we simmers can experience the "good old days". GPS is definitely a great way to get around. We just have to hope that some yayhoo doesn't set off an EMP barrage in the satellite constellation over North America.
