Why It Matters
Google Earth has introduced a new flight simulator mode accessible globally via browser, adding to its existing features like historical recreations.
In case Microsoft Flight Simulator is a little too realistic for your tastes, there's a new way you can take to the virtual skies. Google Earth has a flight sim mode of its own, and it can now be accessed by anyone globally via their browser. Android Police spotted a social media post from the Google property announcing this update.
Google Earth seems to be the area where the massive company remembers that tech can be cool and downright fun. In 2024, it added an option for seeing historical recreations of select times and places. This is the sort of clever curio we love, and Google delivered even more the following year.
