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 do I add a PDF or a photo to a place mark description in GOOGLE EARTH?
Q. How do I add a photo or PDF file to a google earth place mark so that it comes up in the description when you click on the placemark point on the map in Google Earth.

A. You can't actually force Google to show a pdf or photo for a particular place mark. What you can do, however, is make sure that your PDF and/or photo are properly geo-tagged, tagged or linked to (the link should mention the place mark in some way). Then, just give Google enough time to troll your site and if the files/photos have enough views/links to them from other locations Google will rate them higher and potentially show your images when someone clicks on that place mark.

Example: In Google Earth do a search for Norton, Ohio. Once everything loads up, click on the red place name. In the pop-up window you'll see several photos. The one of the lightning is mine (so are a couple of others but that one ALWAYS shows up). The only place where I have uploaded and geo-tagged this photo is in Panoramio.
