Google Earth web version gets a free flight simulation mode

Google has added a free flight simulation mode to the web version of Google Earth. Because it runs in a browser, the feature can be used without installing a separate app. The company presents it as a free and simple experience centered on exploration. It is not meant to be an alternative to Microsoft Flight Simulator, which remains a more complete flight product. In Google Earth, the new mode gives users another way to move through and explore the map-based world that the service already offers.
