Friday Game: Google Earth Flight Simulator
Did you know that there is a flight simulator game built into Google Earth? I was stunned to read about this on
Playing the game is simple:
- Download and install Google Earth
- Press CTRL+ALT+A after starting Google Earth for the first time to enter the flight simulator.

Once you’ve done this you get to choose between two planes, a F-16 and a SR22 whcih can be flown between several airports. Joystick support is also available if you are a serious gamer.
It’s amazing to see what the microsoft team get up to when they should be working!
