Not only did the latest version of <A href="http://lifehacker.com/software/launch/google-earth-adds-sky-292138.php">Google Earth add Sky</A>—it also quietly got a fabulous new flight simulator which flies a virtual airplane (either an F16 "Viper" or SR22 prop plane) from an airport and runway of your choice.  To switch into flight simulator mode the first time, launch the latest version 4.2 of Google Earth (free download) and hit Ctrl+Alt+A (Mac users: Cmd+Opt+A.)  Choose your plane, airport and runway and go!  Well, ok, it's not quite that easy.  Blogger Marco Gallotta explains how to take off:  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/games/flight-simulator-in-google-earth-42-295797.php">After you <DEL>crash</DEL> complete your first flight you can re-enter flight sim mode from the Tools menu.  A gaggle of keyboard shortcuts is available to control the plane, as well as joystick support, though this thing does take some practice to get any good with.
