Google Earth has a FLIGHT SIMULATOR hidden inside!

After reading this, I uploaded the latest Google Earth freeware on WinXP
and hit Control ALT A which brought up an SR22 and an F16 as choices.

The same sequence exited the Google Earth Flight Simulator.

I had trouble controlling the airplane until I found the following settings
by QWERTY keyboard trial and error.

I'd start at Moffett Field at runway R32 heading 320 degrees.

The comma & period controlled my left & right brake respectively.
- The C centered both the ailerons and the rudders.
- LeftBracket and RightBracket controlled the flaps.
- PageUp and PageDown controlled the throttle.
- UpArrow and DownArrow controlled the elevators.

Once airborne:
- G retracted the landing gear.
- Shift F retracted the flaps.
- LeftArrow and RightArrow controlled the ailerons.
- Shift LeftArrow and Shift RightArrow controlled the rudders.

When I got out of control,
- Spacebar paused the simulation so I could catch my breath.
- The h toggled the heads up display on and off.
- Alt LeftArrow and Alt RightArrow turned the pilot's head.

To land,
- G extended the landing gear.
- The f key extended the flaps.
- Simultaneously pressing comman & period braked to a halt.
