Hi guys, who's heard of the new Google Earth Flight Simulator in v4.2? You know, the one you press Ctrl-A to unlock? Well, has anyone established control over the plane yet?

So far, I can navigate around using the mouse and keyboard. And if I position myself in roughly the right direction at the start, I can land on the London Heathrow runway.

Any aero-masters out there?

Holy ..... I've been searching how to do that for quite sometime. I'm downloading GE on my laptop.. gonna check it out.

You mean you wanted to know how to unlock the flight simulator? Ctrl-A on the first time, then after that, an options appears on one of the menus, to enter the flight simulator. If you do it this way, you get a dialogue where you can change the options, but if you just press Ctrl-A it starts the simulator from where you are at the moment in GE.

It's such fun to travel to the US and crash-land into the White House...

Oh, and I almost forgot - if, you know, my post helped you out in any way, then there's a little picture of some scales on the right hand side of the post... and if you click it, and, let's just say, you happen to add some rep to my name... I'd, erm, be very grateful...

It takes time to master it. At first I could only use the keyboard - but the mouse provides much more control over the plane. :)
