  • Beginner's question re: 3D view, real or not real?

    I've just downloaded the app today. Regarding the 3D view, is it really the view from the cockpit, as in there is a camera in the cockpit, or is it a simulated view taken from Google Earth?

    It's based on the Google images for the area where the aircraft is flying over.
    It's coming from the Google company (Google Map / Google Earth) server.

        I always wondered about that, how you got the town names shown, why the rivers in the distance showed as flourescent green and why I could never get a track of the aircraft providing the image of the aircraft in the 3D view on the PC
