But did they ever ask for an ID?

Anyway, all privacy issues aside, my main concern is to avoid losing all the connections to my VATSIM account should it one day get banned, and who knows what else, IP blacklisted, names called and dick punched.

No, they never did. Just use a generic rear end name and go fly.

you have to inform each controller during your flight and they give you a nonce code to squawk

VATSIM also just doesn't have time to deal with checking ID. There can be thousands of players connected at any one time and more join every day. They are from all over the world and can be almost any age.

The few supervisors won't even notice you unless you try hard to be an rear end in a top hat. And even if you are they'll just give you a warning or time out.

Make sure that the parent directories are not marked "Read Only" is my only guess there.

It's gotta be some sort of a simple windows security setting I'm missing for an installed app. Whenever I do it, I get a "Windows blocked" whatever in the bottom right.

It's a default tree structure going in the user documents location.
IE: C:/users/slidebite/documents/little navmap

I manually went in there and created a directory called "little Navamap Files" and it still didn't work. I have tons of other directories in there from other games and programs though, so I don't know wtf. I certainly didn't do anything special when I installed Orcs must Die but it has a directory in there just fine.

e: Fixed. Controlled app access in windows

It's still considered 'gaming' isn't it?

That's the thing, some people take their pixel planes very seriously. Not even kidding there's a bunch of weirdos who get offended when you call their simulation a 'game'. Ignore all of that nonsense and please enjoy yourself.
