Google has big dreams - and as a big
company it can even effort to put those dreams in reality. Apart from
putting rather real dreams into action - like buying "YouTube" for the
bargain price of $1.65bn, sometimes their fantasy runs wild.
Google is well known for their little gadgets be it to
change their logo for various occasions or seasons or the equally entertaining "
Easter Eggs".
Earlier
this year we heard about weird things happening to the Google templates
at 3.14am sharp: the Loch Ness monster or the “Pi” symbol with the sky
template at 3:14 am ( Pi = 3.14159265!!!!!)
suddenly appeared on your personalized Google homepage template.
Google Earth - Flightsimulator
Using
Google Earth we can now even fly between buildings with a secret Flight Simulator that takes full advantage of Google’s extensive satellite imagery.
To access these hidden feature, open
Google Earth and hit or Ctrl+Alt+A (with a capital A) if you’re using a Windows Machine. (or Command+Option+A with other hardwares)
The
Google Earth Flight Simulator comes with two aircraft options, a F16
Viper and the more manageable SR22 4 plane. 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.
Overall the game is fairly simple to play, but the striking difference is flying over real images of locations.
For example you can take a quick trip from San Francisco
International Airport, heading north to the Golden Gate Bridge then
turn back over the city before heading towards the Valley. The software
is not perfect but you can have some good fun and an (let's say
semi-professional) overview how a flight simulator works.
Fasten your seat belts and enjoy your flight:
