While I was downloading the demo for Tiger Woods Golf 08 for my PS3 and watching the Red Sox game (Picture-In-Picture is awesome) I ran across an entry talking about an easter egg within Google Earth. Yes, I know the new Google Earth has the sky feature but did you know that you take part in a flight simulator!
Here is the page I found that lists the keyboard shortcuts. To get started you need to press Ctrl+Alt+A for Windows users and Command/Apple Key+Option+A on the Mac. You can choose to fly an F18 or a Cessna plane and then choose your take off point.
Once your airborne you fly over the Google Earth maps. I’m curious if you fly over 3D structures you have if they appear in 3D.
Having the Flight Simulator feature makes Google Earth a more interactive experience. I can’t wait to find an excuse to use it my classroom. I will definitely be showcasing this product at ACTEM’s MAINEd Conference in October.
