anyone else heard of this?
i just updated my google earth to the latest software version (4.2) and its fantastic!!
search youtube to see some vids posted by others
i'm playing with it on mine now, if you already have the latest version, put it on and then press Control + A! the controls are shockingly sensitive but you get used to it, and i just lost control of my plane high enough not to crash, and because it's genuine scenery its so realistic to look at!!
:y

Hi Baron,
Yes, this was viewed on Monday's Gadget show, which has started its new show.
-
had a play earlier, flew the fighter around the north west and over my house, was easier to control with the mouse...
i'm over it now!
-
how do you get on it? i got 4.2 but how do you do it?
thanks,
Jamie

Yes i heard about this a while back, i thought that i had the new version allready, but obviously not, as it doesnt work on my machine, even afer an Update :'(

I had problems also, but solved it by
1. first clicking on the main screen to ensure the cursor is not in the search text box
2. If your keyboard is set to English (UK) use CTRL + A (capital A), however if your keyboard is set to English (US) use CTR + ALT + A

Ah, that might be the problem then, as my Keyboard is set to DE Germany >:(
any Ideas :question :question

Try ALT + Z for German, Alternatively try setting it to English Uk temporarily to start flight sim up. Once it has started for the first time it will then always be availabale from the tools menu and you can set the keyboard language back to german.
good luck Pat

its good to ease boredom... until you get bored of it!

Mmm - this seems to indicate that the codes are the same http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.keyboardtechref/doc/kybdtech/German.htm
however, I did find a reference somewhere that ALT is ALT Gr on a german keyboard, so may be worth trying either
ALT Gr+A, or Ctrl+ALT Gr+A (but make sure you have clicked away from the search box first)

Managed to crash into my neighbours house (was heading for mine)... ...bit too uncontrollable ;D

was that the F16 or the slower plane?
i found the F16 is well easier to stablise using the mouse

press "page up" to increase thrust, then press the DOWN arrow key to lift up, you'll need to hit the UP a few times to correct its level!
if you click your mouse on the centre of the screen during flight it'll turn into a cross and you can use the mouse to control it
