Google Earth Flight Simulator 187
insidedesign writes "Blogger Marco has recently discovered that the newest version of Google Earth includes a flight simulator. Though simple in comparison to full-blown simulators, Google Earth's is fun and addictive. To get started, press Ctrl+Alt+A for the initial dialog (on OS X, Command+Option+A). Then choose your plane (F16 or SR22) and initial airport. Joysticks are supported; it has even been reported that force feedback works. The game's controls are sensitive so it takes some getting used to. Here are all the available controls. For a quick overview, check out this YouTube video."

Destruction of Meigs Airport is solid proof that nobody cares about general aviation anymore.

Of course the test is whether it can run games like a flight sim. But as a truly native network platform, the games should be even more interesting, whether P2P, client/server, or whether we can't even tell the difference.
