Google Earth secret?

[Rusted]

In google earth, I pressed "Control + A"

Am I the only one who did not know about that?

Is that the flight simulator?

I tried it once but it was tough and I ended up giving up...

 

[Rusted]

Yeah a flight simulator. If you know how to control the plane let me know. I got up and down and the left right with the arrow keys, but I end up in a spin that I can't stop. looks like the space bar is a pause.

I found this on it. It looks like you can do take off and landings with it and also change airplanes.

I have lost my compass on my computer though. Does anyone know how to turn it back on?

That is sweet! So I found that I could control the plane with the mouse like it was a joystick... I clicked on the screen and it gave me a little cross hairs on the screen, and oh boy did I loose control till I figured out what was going on. This is the first time i've seen this feature in google earth Now I'm never going to get off my computer... thanks guys:-\...

 

[BlackDog]

yeah the problem for me is, the "normal" computer is too slow to run Earth, and the Fruitbook (MacBook) has a keyboard that is weird to me, with no mouse...

One day...

Very cool, I have a joystick so flying around is easy. I flew over some Moab trails yesterday.
