Is there any flight simulator that does have Google Earth map as terrain?

Q. Is any flight simulator out there that has Google Earth maps as terrain (streaming) or allows it through mods or plug-ins?

PS: Yes, i know that GE does have a "flight simulator" but i mean more serious ones like MS FS or x-plane.

A. As Google Earth has its own flight simulator, it will not supply its maps to an existing flight simulator franchise such as Microsoft, at least its very doubtful. There are certain companies using the flight simulator add-on within Google earth to provide a flight simulator feel, such as http://www.ge-flightsimulator.com/

How is google earth better than google map?

Q. Google map also has street views. Google earth requires installation. How is one better than the other? Thanks for answering!!!

A. Google Earth gives a much bigger picture, and it's easier to zoom in and out and fly around. And you can change the viewing angle and elevation. And there are a ton of other features, most of which I don't even use, but they're there.

For looking at maps in a web browser, I switched to bing.com (by Microsoft) because they have "birds eye view" which is really cool.

What time of day does the Google Earth satellite take its pictures?

Q. I want to know what time of day and, if possible, how often the satellite for Google Earth/Google Maps takes its pictures. If anyone knows, please answer.

A. Most of the photos on there are between 1-3 years old. Given that, time of day is irrelevant though I would assume early afternoon to keep brightness high and shadows to a minimum.
