Google Earth, the globe-viewing toy from the God of Search Engines, has just been updated and includes a new 3D flight simulator.

the A must be in caps. And make sure you've got the latest version of Google earth.
It's nice, but the controls (mouse/keyboard) are just awful. And the scenery load too slowly compared to the speed of the planes.

Serious Sam for the easter egg win! From the truley bizzare (the supporters of the game as little gnome people) to blatent digs (coming across a decomposed, strung up Duke Nukem: "Man, he's been there... forever!"). Though the Dopefish was pretty cool.

Personally, I like the hidden room in the hidden room in Duke Nukem 3D. 3rd episode somewhere, you can find a hidden replica of the bridge from The Next Generation version of the Enterprise. Go into the ready room though, find an extra hidden secret room - which Duke titles 'The Really Ready Room'.

I think, google may just follow nasa's worldwind which has introduced flight sim serveral months ago.
Though nasa annouced that the worldwind is NOT a competitor to GoogleEarth, it seems that google takes that seriously.

I dont see why google doesn't just merge its maps with flightsim. It already has the elevation data to boot.
