The future for flight simulation?

A couple of years ago, I believe someone was working on integrating MS Flight Simulator with Google Earth. But I haven't heard or read any more progress on that until this announcement: "New Google Earth Adds Flight Simulator ".

So, there is hope after all that we might be able to use that in our flight decks, hopefully in my remaining lifetime :-)

The guys from Vista Australis are already doing it... feeding google earth into FS9 and FSX as scenery tiles ... and it works! Still a bit clunky coz its early days, but very encouraging results thus far. See the forum at http://vistaoz.org/smf/index.php
