The first one was invented by the US military for flight training. The first commercially available version was made by Microsoft (Microsoft Flight Simulator 1995).
Flight Simulator comes with the newest version of Google Earth. Very simply, go into Google Earth, on the tool bar select Tools then select flight simulator, select aircraft and position and you're away!You can also press ctrl-A to start the Flight Simulator.~You press ctrl-Alt-A to start the simulator.
A simulator gives you the feel of the actual aircraft, but it won't be the real thing. For example, a simulator will contain all controls which an actual aircraft does, but it will have a display running some video and you have to move controls accordingly. If you crash in simulator you get one more chance to make a new start. Real aircraft is a real thing. You crash, you are dead (Maybe along with some more guys and burning up millions of dollars).
According to Microsoft it should work if your computer is 64 bit.
On the website of the flight simulator ( Microsoft ) , their is an free demo with 4 airplanes and a part of the world where you can fly in ( carraibes ) . If you want the full version, you need to pay for it, but if you like , you can add more planes into your demo by flight simulator addons ( just type in google "fsx addons")
