wow thats wicked lol

Going to have to go find my joystick as the keyboard controls are pretty difficult to control it properly.

Apart from that, think i've just found something to waste more of my time with

I can't get it to work. I got windows XP.

Or do you have to have the google earth that you pay for?

I can't get it to work either . I pressed Ctrl + Alt + A but nothing came up. I tried the other one to but nope.. nothing at all..

Any ideas on how i could get it working?

Update your google earth.

To do this load up google earth then select help at the top then click "check for updates online"

Follow instructions and download the newest version. Then load google earth back up and press the following; ctrl+alt+a (you may need to put caps locks on)

freaking awesome!!! i used to play fsx (flight simulater x) all the time i loved it.. took up way too much disk space.. and my computer kind of sucks so i dont get the full graphic experiance with fsx but for a free flight sim.. this is great!!

Something often missed, and had me stuck for a bit, is that you have to hold down CTRL+ALT+a and click the globe.

You only have to do this once then you can access it through the tools menu.
