its pretty decent, more complicated than i had expected.

hard to find those pretty places with the 3d buildings tho,
most are still just flat photos. neat gimmick.

Had a go on my mate's PC, quite good although you have to go
somewhere with the 3D buildings, like a big city.

In terms of geographical accuracy, how does this compare to
Microsoft's Flight simulator series? I've read a few
comments that accuse google of giving too much info to
would-be terrorists, but I was under the impression that MS
Flight Sim was a very accurate depiction of real world
geography and topograpy. Is this not the case? Would this
google flight sim with dated graphics really be a superior
tool with which to train hijackers? I have my doubts..

I don't think terrorists would fly planes into buildings
now, they'd probably come up with another scheme, something
different like that attempted shoebombing.

I predict the terrorists next move will be exploding
birthday cakes.
