Google Earth 4.2 Flight Simulator - A hidden Easter egg in the newest version of GE 4.2

kenobi
Hi I found out on a website that there is a hidden Flight Simulator in the most recent version of Google Earth 4.2 . You can make it active by pressing CTRL+ALT+A which will open a window where you can choose from two airplanes (F-16, SR22) and an airport from which you want to take off. After you activate the Flight Simulator for the first time it will appear in the Tools menu. You can also press CTRL+A for faster way of activating it which will activate the Flight simulator on the spot where your current view is. You can control the plane with keyboard, mouse and joystick, but i recommend mouse because its much more easier than keyboard because the controls are very sensitive.

I wish you all lots of fun with this wonderful feature of Google Earth.

P.S. If the combination CTRL+ALT+A doesn't start the Flight simulator check if you have the latest version installed clicking on Help and About Google Earth which is 4.2.

    What do u think of Google's latest freeware browser? (28)

    having to do with securing the system, so perhaps the Trap17 was smart in not updating as the php5
    was relesed. Looks like the php people have been busy patching things up. Personally, I am running
    php5, but i really don't use the enhancements like OOP and such, so php4 does fine for me. ***

    Is it to do with my computer or the version of WLM? (3)
    Hello, im not sure if this should go in this topic and sorry if it shouldn't. As my topic says,
    WLM or Windows Live Messenger continually disconnects me whenever i am connected and using it. When
    ever i go to chat with a friend there will be a little error message saying im not connected. I
    didn't choose to sign out, it seems to do this by itself. Could there be a problem with my
    computer? Sure my motherboard is dying but there are many other things that come to my mind. Could
    it be a virus? I do keep getting pop ups when using IE6. It cannot be the fact that im....

    instal the latest version from scratch but the same problem persists so now I cannot add the toolbar
    back in. I have tried completely uninstalling FF but when I reinstall it has all my extensions in

    For those of you who don't know what an easter egg is: An Easter Egg is a hidden feature that
    bored programmers have put in their software. In general, it is any hidden, entertaining thing that
    a creator hides in their creation only for their own personal reasons. This can be anything from a
    hidden list of the developers, to hidden commands, to jokes, to funny animations. So get that image
    of the easter bunny out of your head! First Egg for Photoshop CS 1 and 2 1: Make sure you see the
    layers palette, if not, go to Window then click on Layers. 2: In the top right of....

    printing of confidence regions (both one and two dimensional) is now much more sophisticated. Some
    minor flaws in the scientific part have also been corrected (mostly concerning some specific dark
    energy implementations). I did write a general fluid perturbation class but didn't include it
    yet. If some people are interested let me know then I'll know if it's worth polishing the
    class for a release or not. You can find the packages on www.cmbeasy.org....

    (1)
    Another variant of the MyDoom worm, which spreads by sending copies of itself using its own mail
    engine and harvesting potential e-mail targets from search engines such as Google and Yahoo, was
    spreading quickly on Thursday. Last summer, a MyDoom variant pumped so many queries into Google
    that the search engine was unavailable or very slow for large periods of time. The same variant of
    MyDoom also succeeded in knocking a number of smaller search engines--including Lycos and
    Altavista--off the Web completely. Antivirus firm Sophos said the latest MyDoom variant searches....
