"Blogger Marco has recently discovered that the newest version of Google Earth includes a flight simulator. Though simple in comparison to full-blown simulators, Google Earth's is fun and addictive. To get started, press Ctrl+Alt+A for the initial dialog (on OS X, Command+Option+A). Then choose your plane (F16 or SR22) and initial airport. Joysticks are supported; it has even been reported that force feedback works. The game's controls are sensitive so it takes some getting used to. Here are all the available controls. For a quick overview, check out this YouTube video."

Nice one!
 
Its pretty sweet, too bad it doesn't work in South Africa and the pre-caching of areas makes it look like you're flying through green sludge most of the time.
 
Also, congrats to this Marco chap. I've never seen a South Africa blog get as much coverage as his did. He didn't even reference someone elses blog post :D
