Google Earth has secret flight sim easter egg

3 September 2007 7:59 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Hidden deep, deep, inside Google Earth is a secret flight simulator game that uses Google's satellite imagery.

To get to the game, you need to open Google Earth and hit Command+Option+capitalA or Ctrl+Alt+A if you’re using a Windows Machine.

The sim is apparently available on two different aircraft - a SR22 or a F16 Viper.

You can select from a list of runways to start from or just get airborne from where ever you were in Google Earth when you activated the feature.

Apparently it's just as good as the Microsoft Flight Simulator...
