This makes me very happy :) At the moment the license key request form is down but that's probably temporary.

By the way, does the Pro version still have the flight sim built in?

I downloaded and obtained my license for Google Earth Pro. Out of curiosity I started IGC Flight replay to look at some recent flights that I had out of Omarama NZ and to see which Google Earth product it used. It automatically configured for Pro and the result was AWESOME!! High res 3D mountains! I made sure I had increased the download cache to minimize the impact to frame rate.

If you have not used IGC Flight replay. I can't say enough good things about this free (please donate) program.
