If you subscribe for HD you also get HD, and the images are from Bing. I have not seen any 3D buildings but the ground elevation is right and I can just about make out my house from a couple of thousand feet up.

Well it was once based on google maps but when google started charging they shut down and now it is , as said in WIkipaedea

GeoFS is a multi-platform browser-based amateur flight simulator based on the Cesium WebGL Virtual Globe.[1] The free map is based on images taken by the Sentinel-2 satellite while the HD map is from Bing Maps.
