Very Cool...Google Earth Flight Simulator

This is very cool. I find it difficult to control, but it is sure fun trying to fly around the world. I hope everyone checks this out. I am sure the students would love to watch you try to fly around. Don't embarrass yourself too much. :-) You must make sure that you are using the very latest version of Google Earth (go to the help menu and click on check for updates online.) If you don't have Google Earth installed yet, you can get it at http://earth.google.com/.

Enjoy!

Reported on slashdot.....
"Blogger Marco has recently discovered that the newest version of Google Earth includes a flight simulator. Though simple in comparison to full-blown simulators, Google Earth's is fun and addictive. To get started, press Ctrl+Alt+A for the initial dialog (on OS X, Command+Option+A). Then choose your plane (F16 or SR22) and initial airport. Joysticks are supported; it has even been reported that force feedback works. The game's controls are sensitive so it takes some getting used to. Here are all the available controls. For a quick overview, check out this YouTube video."
