When I finally got a PC able to run photo-real scenery in 'Flight Simulator' 9 and 10, the default landscape tiles were no longer satisfying... I use weather software too, and you simply can't beat 'flying' over the true landscape, seeing virtually what a real pilot sees.
I got the VFR (Visual Flight Rules) Scenery for large areas of Germany as well as for the whole of the UK and Netherlands, but these packages have always been extremely expensive, so I'm guessing the Google Sim makes for an economical alternative?
(I've not tried the Google sim yet)
