Latest version of Google Earth has hidden Flight Simulator ! (no joke)

As you all probably know, Google released their latest version of Google Earth (4.2) a couple of days ago. One of the nice things in this version (see one of the earlier posts), was the possibility to view star maps (Google Sky).

But… there was more, we just found out ! First of all, download the latest 4.2 version of Google Earth.

There is a fully working and in fact amazing Flight Simulator built-in ! Now THAT is what I call an Easter Egg !

To activate the hidden flight simulator, press Ctrl-Alt-A, and select your plane. I also notice that — once you pressed the secret key combination — the Tools menu suddenly has a new “Enter Flight Simulator…” option.
