I think Google Maps in 3D mode still looks more realistic than MS Flight Simulator. And remember, it is written in interpreted JavaScript, with WebGL, which is about equal to DirectX 9. It runs lightning fast on an integrated GPU and CPU from 2010 with 4GB RAM. And it loads instantly, even though it's 100% streamed from the cloud. Not to mention that the data is more up to date too.

If only Google wanted to sell a flight simulator, they could just add some physics and it would sell millions.

A 3D map of a few locations, without weather, without physics, without flight, does not become a full flight simulator of the entire Earth in 3D just by adding some physics. The amount of work that goes into making a flight simulator is incredible.

Also, Google Maps in 3D mode does not have the number of concurrent users that Flight Simulator 2024 has.
