Google Earth->Flight Simulator X Easter Egg

[utkarsh30june]

Hi,
I recently found a site that showed an amazing Flight Simulator Easter Egg. Here's the Easter Egg in detail

Apparently, the latest version of Google Earth has an easter egg: a flight simulator. It's not quite like Microsoft FLight Simulator, but it's a promising start.

How to see this feature. Make sure you have Google Earth (atleast V4.2). Open the application, click on the globe and then press Ctrl+Alt+A. You should see this dialog that lets you choose one of the two aircrafts (F16 "Viper" and SR22) and an airport.


Here's the initial view from London Heathrow Airport:

Enjoy the Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
