Google Earth flight simulator
Monday, September 03, 2007 by Jason
Last month, I have told you guys about Google Earth closeup photos. But there are many things Google Earth can do. You can even use as a flight simulator. Yeah! that's hidden feature (or easter egg, you named it) in latest version of Google Earth.
First start the program, then you can press Ctrl+Alt+A and then you'll see the flight simulator screen. You can choose two planes. For a place, you can choose Google's given airports or you can start anywhere on planet.
You can press Ctrl+H for the list of commands or you can check here.
Enjoy your flight!
BtoN's Tips: If you can't start flight simulator by using Ctrl+Alt+A, you can try Tools-->> Option -->> General tab --->> Check Send usage statistics to Google. If still doesn't work, you can add new registry dword value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Earth Plus\FlightSim
New DWORD value and then IsEnabled. Set the value to 1.
Congrats go to Marco for this great discovery.
