While not as cool as theBioShockeaster eggwe told you about earlier, the flight simulator hidden inGoogle Earthis unexpected and kind of fun.
TechCrunchtells us about the flight sim stashed away in Google’s world map software, which takes advantage of the tons of satelite imagery Google Earth uses. I wonder what Microsoft thinks about this.
You want to know how to fire it up? If you don’t have Google Earth installed,do so, and then hit Ctrl+Alt+A (Command+Option+A for you Mac people) after launching the software. A menu screen will pop up, letting you select between the “Viper” F16 or a SR22 prop job.
The controls are listedon this page,but don’t go in thinking this is some silly Flash game, or you’ll spin out of control (see picture).
Nice job, Google! What else are you working on?
