Google Earth Flight Simulator
From the folks at Google comes a very neat feature in the newest version of Google Earth. An impromptu flight simulator! It’s no MSFS, but it’s pretty cool just the same.
To access the hidden feature, open Google Earth and hit [Ctrl+Alt+A].
The Google Earth Flight Simulator comes with two aircraft options, a F16 Viper and the more manageable SR22 4 seater. Players have the option of commencing the game from their current location in Google Earth or can pick from a list of pre-determined runways.
UPDATE: If [Ctrl+Alt+A] doesn’t work for you, try [Ctrl+Windows Key+A]. Some folks I’ve talked to have to use the latter to get it to work.

Wow, thanks for that tip. This seems to be a pretty cool feature. I’ll try this out right away. Nice website too. Keep the good work going!
