Flying Sim in Google Earth!

Google did not mention that the latest version of Google Earth has a build-in flying simulator! It works on all platforms, including Linux. The Linux version even worked with my joystick.

Press Ctrl-Alt-A, choose your plane and airport, and start flying.

Jason,
I have never had any problem with my USB joystick in Ubuntu, all I have to is plug it in.
