Google Earth: Secret Flight Simulator!

September 1st, 2007 by Heywood

In addition to the very cool Google Sky that comes as part of the newest version of Google Earth, an easter egg has surfaced: a hidden flight simulator!

To access the flight simulator, all you have to do is open Google Earth and hit Ctrl+Alt+A if you’re using Windows, or Command+Option+A (note it must be capital A) on a Mac. After you access it for the first time, the option to go back to the flight simulator remains under the Tools menu for easy access.

In the simulator, you can fly an F16 Viper or an easier to fly 4 seater, the SR22. Check it out, it’s pretty damn cool.
