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.
