I Just learnt of this today. If you thought that Google Earth was tons of fun, you haven't seen the last of it.

Apparently, the good folks from Google have hidden a nice easter egg in the last installment of Google Earth (4.2) for both Macs and PC.

They have indeed included a failry basic but tons-of-fun flight simulator. It gives you the choice of two planes, and you can fly those wherever you want (start from a couple of airports in the world, or directly start from any point of the map. To control the plane, you can use a joystick, your arrows on the keyboard, or your mouse (my favorite). Keep in mind that the controls are a bit touchy.

To access the flight simulator, you can do the following:

On PC: CTRL + ALT + A

On Mac: COMMAND + OPTION + A

Have fun!
