 * Secret flight Sim found in Google Earth **



This is lacking the sophistication of __Microsoft__ Flight Simulator, the hidden feature allows users to fly over the Google Earth landscape, complete with in-depth satellite photography of the ground below. The feature is officially unlocked by pressing Crtl+Alt+A from within Google Earth, although you may have to substitute Alt for the Windows key to get the simulation to start.

You may find yourselves stalling and plummeting into the city below before you could shout "increase thrust". You can also opt for joystick control if you are a hardened flight-sim fan. Players have a choice of two aircraft: a nippy F16 or the more cumbersome, SR22 propeller airplane. Both take a little getting used to, although the F16 is the obvious choice for those looking to fly over their hometown in a hurry. Users can choose to start their flight from a selection of airports, including London Heathrow and, perhaps surprisingly, New York.
