Q. The title is pretty self explanatory.
Google maps has a street view that flows, and is much more convenient to use than the one in google earth, the one in google earth floods my screen with camera icons, and feels really dodgy when I try to move around.
Am I missing an option here? Or is it really like that.. And if so, why?

A. The quality itself is the same, but the user experience using google maps versus google earth is different.
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.
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/
