1. Open the program and press Ctrl + A (or Ctrl + Alt + A) to launch the hidden Flight Simulator program.
2. It’s based on Google Earth’s image streaming and you can fly around
the area currently showing, choose from a number of preset locations or
takeoff and land from a selection of airports around the world.
3. You have a choice of
two aircraft, an F16 fighter or a slightly more sedate Cirrus SR22
single engine aircraft. Obviously it’s not as sophisticated as full
blown flight sim programs but you have a good heads-up display showing
attitude, altitude, heading, engine speed and so on, and there’s a full
set of controls using your PC keyboard, or you can plug in a joystick.
It’s great fun, highly addictive and very realistic. Stick to around
2-3000 feet for the best effect, and landscapes with a lot of buildings
or 3D structures works really well, just watch those dives and stalls!
