Google Earth Flight Simulator - Tutorial
Google’s new release of Google Earth, its popular free mapping
software, stunned the world with its addition of mapping the
universe. It has also secretly included a flight simulator!
Here is
a short tutorial of flying with the new Google Earth 4.2 Flight Simulator:
Download the
most recent version of Google Earth,
start it up and press
CTRL+ALT+A (Mac: Command+Option+A).
The flight simulator should load right away with an option dialog
for plane and airport.
You can pilot two airplanes: the F16 or the SR22.
Familiarize yourself with the
flight controls.
Instead of using the arrow keys, you may prefer to steer the aircraft with the mouse
(click the screen with your mouse to activate).
UPDATE:
If CTRL+ALT+A does not open flight simulator mode, download
FlightSim.reg,
double click it
and restart Google Earth. Then go Tools -- Enter Flight Simulator.
