Default Google Earth Flight Simulator

Apparently, the latest version of Google Earth has a flight simulator. It's not quite like Microsoft Flight Simulator, but it's a promising start.


You can currentlty fly one of two aircrafts (F16 "Viper" and SR22) and choose from a few airports or whiz round your own house

How to see this feature. Make sure you have Google Earth 4.2. Open the application, click on the globe and then press Ctrl+Alt+A.

Its pretty cool

Cool

Can't wait to get home now so I can try this out (Google Earth is now blocked at work)

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.
