The team that brought you Flight Simulator has been working for a while to separate the core simulation engine away from the packaged product so that it can be used in other applications that require real world simulation. Out of this came Microsoft ESP. So now you can simulate any environment in the world in your app.
If you are interested in finding out more about how to do these kinds of things, the Microsoft ESP team are holding two developer events, one in Orlando and one in London in early November.
If you are interested, please go to the following site and get registered.
The section about "Changing the World" sounds pretty neat.
