It's not quite like <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+flight+simulator" target="_blank">Microsoft Flight Simulator</a>, but it's a promising start.How to see this feature. Make sure you have <a href="http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html" target="_blank">Google Earth 4.2</a>.  Open the application, click on the globe and then press Ctrl+Alt+A. You  should see this dialog that lets you choose one of the two aircrafts  (F16 "Viper" and SR22) and an airport.<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZaGO7GjCqAI/RtigICY5IVI/AAAAAAAAEjo/bapnmJEr24A/s640/google-earth-flight-simulator.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here's the initial view from London Heathrow Airport:<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZaGO7GjCqAI/RtigISY5IWI/AAAAAAAAEjw/5gIWwzRPuI4/s640/google-earth-simulator.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />... and here's a nice view from Kathmandu:<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZaGO7GjCqAI/RtikNyY5IXI/AAAAAAAAEj8/VGKgPj5YYv4/s640/google-earth-simulator-2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />To fly, you need to read this <a href="http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/flightsim/index.html" target="_blank">list of keyboard shortcuts</a>,  but you can also use a mouse or a joystick. "To disable or enable mouse  controls, left click (single click on a Mac). Once mouse controls are  active, the pointer shape changes to a cross on your screen."<a href="http://marco-za.blogspot.com/2007/08/google-earth-flight-simulator.html" target="_blank">Marco Gallotta</a>,  who found this feature, has some tricks: "Moving on though, you can get  a quick start by holding Page Up for a few seconds to increase to  maximum thrust (thrust meter is the left bar of the lower-left meters).  Once you've accelerated to a sufficient velocity use the arrow keys to  take-off. The keys are in reverse as one would expect with any flight  simulator, so use the down arrow to take-off. When you've gained enough  altitude then stabalise the aircraft to a straight flight path. It can  be rather tricky to get the hang of as the controls are quite  sensitive."This easter egg could become a standard feature in  the next versions of Google Earth and it will bring even more fun to the  application. <img src="http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/6210/keyd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
