Google Earth: The Game
Google Earth's Hidden Flight SimulatorBored of Google Earth & Sky? Didn't think so! But just when you thought it couldn't get any more fun or immersive, Google has a nifty little surprise for you!

Google is a giant, known virtually across the globe to all generations. It has quite literally become a household name like most major products. But when Google releases a product or service you won't see it advertised on any billboard or flashing on any website. In fact, you won't even see it on their own main page!

So, in complete Google fashion, bundled in the lastest version of Google Earth & Sky comes a complete flight simulator to keep you glued to the program -- just in case you weren't already spending 2/3 of your day searching for herds of wildebeest in the plains of the Serengeti (And yes, I mean you Tech iT eZ staff).

The Flight Simulator is actually a hidden feature in the new version of Google Earth, so it cannot be immediately accessed from any menu, and as such requires a combination of keys to be inputted in order to be accessed.

To activate you must be in Google Earth Mode and the following key combination must be entered: Ctrl +  Alt + A. Once you hae entered the key combination the following screenchot should appear:

The controls are fairly simple and flight navigation should be fairly simple to anyone whohas previously played a flight simulator. For an extensive list of controls visit the official page.

So, fire up the turbines and fly over our beautiful Australian coastline.
