Google earth flight simulator

soooooooooooooooooooo fun. i did that soooooo much when i was a kid. it was...

wait how fun?

i can not figure out how to drive this thing for the life of me

Are their any controls besides up down side side?

link to simulator? i want to fly

Haha Diddy was so unexpectedly good.

"Look at me, I'm eating my own head, motherfucker!"

*CHOMP*

you can change the script to modify how your plane works too. i got tired of it being slow and being limited on how high it could go

I fly around

Woopsies, I'm on my iPod I have fat fingers and accidentally posted. Anyways I would fly around all the time last year during digital photo

Use the mouse

i played for a little while a year or so ago, any changes?

Microsoft fight simulator was fun, I always turned off all the realistic stuff and went like 1000mph in a 747 and did loops.

just flew around Mars
No biggy

i've had a couple requests on how to do the above, so here goes:

go to folder C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\res\flightsim\aircraft

make backup copies of f16.acf and sr22.acf before you change them. then right click -> open with and choose notepad

and what follows is what i have in the f16 file:

^^^ there's lots of variables to play with, but looking back on it i think i just settled on lowering the mass to make it real light and responsive. i'd suggest saving the original files before you mess it up and make it non-workable

c stops you from spinning, dont know the technical term. imo the key to flying well
