Thanks, John. I just knew that there was something like that in there! Hold down the mouse wheel and drag. I knew something cool was going on, just couldn't find it.

i don't know whats cooler that little tid bit or that fancy new avatar :)

update:

just tryied it... VERY COOL!

no sound though.

??????

What am I doing wrong?

not maps.google.com

google earth... just in case you made that mistake... cause... i ummm. didnt :hidin:

cool...i only crashed 3 times in 3 tries.. sign me up for a pilots license

neat...i can fly around, but all i get is the mouse cursor changes to a plane...how do you change between the prop plane and the jet?

And how do you go back to 'regular' mode?

ctrl alt a doesn't work for me...

works for me.
very hard but very addictive.

make sure your are in the map portion of the window when you click the keys

Mike get close to earth and then try ctrl alt a.

Be sure to click on the globe before the CTRL ALT A

Response sucks and it is nowhere as nice as MS Flight Simulator, X-Plane, LoMAC, or any Falcon 4 derivative but it is, after all, a MAP :tooth:

Check out http://flightgear.org/ for a good free flight simulator

Ah yes, click on the globe first. Very nice......
