Title: Google Earth Flight simulator
Post by: Herra Tohtori on September 01, 2007, 11:36:53 am

Bloody Hell. (http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/flightsim/index.html)

Gives you invisible F-16 and SR-22 (some pretty generic-looking propeller plane) to fly around. Supports joystick. Rather awesome, even though the features are quite limited (no external view etc.). ;7

you can find the Flight sim under the tools menu in google earth. not exactly hidden but still sweet nonetheless.
Ctrl + Alt + A is just the shortcut
