Anyone up for a little Google Flight Simulator?

If you don't have the latest Google Earth then go download it at earth.google.com. Once installed and opened simply user your keyboard and hit ctrl-alt-a and the flight simulator will be ready for action. This has to be the most useful easter egg I have ever seen.

And it supports joystick controls!

More info and key map can be found here. Google Earth Easter Egg: Flight Simulator

How did it go for you? The kb controls seemed a bit touchy. I need to plug in the ole joystick and give it a go.

Just tried it with the joystick. It was ok, but nothing spectacular.
