In Microsoft Flight Simulator, one can take off from any location on Earth and fly in realistic conditions over any place on the planet, while experimenting real-time weather and air traffic from the real world. Thanks to Bing Maps and Azure, more than 2 petabytes of data are streamed in real-time to the game client, making it possible to represent the Earth in a much more accurate way than ever before.
