Google Earth's Flight Simulator Now Available in Web Browsers

On Friday, Google made an existing feature of Google Earth available to a wider user base. The flight simulator mode, which has been a hidden component of the desktop Google Earth application since 2007, can now be accessed easily via a web browser. This eliminates the requirement for users to download or install any additional applications.

To use the virtual flight simulator, users must navigate to the Google Earth website. From there, they need to click the "Explore Earth" button located in the top right corner of the page. The "Flight Simulator" option is then available as the last item in the Tool's section of the site's top menu bar.
