Google Earth - Flight Simulator Flight Simulator: ----------------- Submitted by: RM Press [Ctrt] + [Alt] + A in Google Earth v4.2 and higher to start a secret flight simulator that takes full advantage of Google's extensive satellite imagery. The flight controls are as follows.

Rotate the airstrip to be in the vertical position on the screen. Zoom right down (2 metres) or less if possible. Activate Flight simulator and you'll find that you are sitting on that tarmac. You should be facing the right way (or else turn 180 degr). Enjoy. Fake Auto Pilot: ---------------- Submitted by: Mike You can set your Google Earth flight similator on 'fake' autopilot. Here's how: 1. Start Google Earth, 2. orient your view to your desired direction of flight. 3. touch down to ground level anywhere (you don't need a runway to take off). 4. Start the F-16, go to full throttle and take off using ONLY the flaps, set to 100 per cent. 5. Once airbourne, lower flaps to 40, and at 5,000 feet, lower to 20 and leave it there. Plane will oscillate in altitude and speed before settling in around 30,000 feet at 520 mph, and will remain locked in a level position left to right. One touch of the joystick will ruin it. Leave it running for hours and it will stay on your set course. Happy travels!
