Take to the skies
Posted on 7 Dec 2007 at 11:26
But the best thing you can do in Google Earth's flight sim is explore. Go for a spin around San Francisco, Tokyo, New York or one of the other major cities that Google has built up in 3D. Fly under the Golden Gate bridge, or go for a trip through the Grand Canyon or over the Swiss Alps, where the Google Earth terrain data makes for some very impressive vistas. With a plug-in KMZ module, you can even try out some of the courses from this year's Red Bull Air Races (see www.pcpro.co.uk/links/159ge3 for more details). It certainly won't be easy, but it will be fun!
