Google Earth Flight Simulator

September 4th, 2007

Downloaded the latest version of Google Earth today (version 4.2) and it turns out it has a hidden Flight Simulator! Cool or what. Just press Ctrl + Alt + A and off you go. You get to pick from two different planes.

You can find a list of commands on the Google Earth help page

Anyway I took it for a test flight over Cork and it was pretty cool. Takes a little getting used to though. But the “Start from current position” option is very useful.

    This is pretty cool. It’s hard to get used of though but using the mouse is easier than the keyboard.
