Google Earth Flight Simulator

I was looking at Wikipedia's entry for Google Earth, and it said that there is an Easter egg flight simulator!

Press CTRL-ALT-A in Google Earth to start it up.
Here is an extensive list of the controls.

I personally thought it was pretty neato, and nobody I've asked have heard of it before!

Just so you know, if you click Edit on your first post in a thread that you start and then click Go Advanced, you can edit your title.

Just so you know, if you click Edit on your first post in a thread that you start and then click Go Advanced, you can edit your tittle.
Or you can edit your own post to catch any spelling errors. I do this all the time myself, because I always find errors in my own posts.

Re: Google Earth Flight Simulator

Neat... took off from JFK in an F-16, screamed out over the water going "AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH". By the time I regained control, I was over Scranton PA, found I-84, followed it home, and crashed 1/2 a mile from my house.

Priceless.

Re: Google Earth Flight Simulator

Just flew a bit through the Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park. Pretty cool, although the keyboard controls make flying a bit difficult.

Ah man! I wish I could get this on my computer. I had Google Earth on my old PC and loved it. Would like to try that flight simulator!

Re: Google Earth Flight Simulator

This is so cool. I've tried test runs, taking off and then trying to land. So far every time I've tried to turn around, I stall and crash. Came close one time though.
