Pimping Google Earth's Flightsim

That's a little of a kinda old topic. Did you see the new feature where GoogleMaps look GTA style? Well, maybe only in particular or as some early state dev showcase. I duno but that reminds me that GoogleEarth offers some vehicle driving fun and this keeps this piece of software insteresting for me (while Google might launch a game based on GoogleMaps sooner or later, who knows).

(Ay, flying in space is a different topic)

A GoogleEarth community mod for it's flight sim part
We all know the flight simulator that comes with GoogleEarth but did you know that it's one of the most sophisticated flightsims around? It goes far beyond the basic keyboard setup and grants a very detailed flight model. It's tricky to fly but the only place where the maps are real including heightmaps and 3D buildings and so on. But theres only a HUD, not even a cockpit. And there are only two planes to play with. Guess what, there is a way to mod it and theres a set that may contain your favorite sightseeing aircraft. However, the graphic detail is simple and I have no info on the flight model.

This makes GoogleEarth's Flightsim feel more fun
Now, instead of having a boring flight experience, add-load a plane, activate it's animations and press "H" to get rid of the HUD, niiice! There is a set of aircraft included, e.g. the "Super Connie", the Twincopter "Osprey", a F-Jet, a BF 109 or a 747. Skilled Modders could even add more planes.

The installation could not be made easier 
It's: Download > pick a planes texture size (big or standard) > double click on it (it's a Google Earth *.kmz file type) > have fun!

Heres the link with a instalattion guide

This is more or less a Reblog with my own words since the original topic from Amir B is quite old now and I guess not many people stumbled upon his outstanding solution. It's free and fun. It's not perfect, it just enhances your GoogleEarth experience. Oh and I found another approach on the web but the website of it was down. I will continue looking around and if I find something I will update this post.
