Flight Sim - On line
« on: March 16, 2013, 04:26:38 AM »
This flight sim makes use of Google Earth.

Has anyone tried it?  It appears to work from a browser, but is it Linux compatible?

I did not come across any reference to operating system requirements ......

Tried it ......

"The Google Earth Plug in is only available on Windows and MAC OS x 10.6+"

:(  :(  .....  Google letting us down again it seems   :(  :(

There is a hidden flight sim in Google earth, and I think there is something in Google maps, some key combination:

Update - Just tested it and it works. A little simplistic and you need to know how to balance the rudder.
