By leaving the runway fast and LOW, then 'pulling back' hard on the stick, you'll have the equivalent of an afterburner-assisted take-off. You can simulate an afterburner take-off, though, by doing what pilots do in real life, holding the brakes while throttling-up, then releasing at maximum power. There's nothing saying or promising that an afterburner function is installed in the program. There are a lot of queries about the afterburner, well, there isn't any promise there is one, only a general description of the capabilities of a REAL F-16. Can anyone help?Ĭopy this into generic.ini (C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\res\flightsim\hud): Looks a lot more like an F16 now! I cant get the compass to show heading every 10 degrees. So I went and changed a little here and there. This easter egg could become a standard feature in the next versions of Google Earth and it will bring even more fun to the application.įlying with GE-FS F-16 looks nice but that HUD looks like something out of a comic book. It can be rather tricky to get the hang of as the controls are quite sensitive." When you've gained enough altitude then stabalise the aircraft to a straight flight path. The keys are in reverse as one would expect with any flight simulator, so use the down arrow to take-off. Once you've accelerated to a sufficient velocity use the arrow keys to take-off. Marco Gallotta, who found this feature, has some tricks: "Moving on though, you can get a quick start by holding Page Up for a few seconds to increase to maximum thrust (thrust meter is the left bar of the lower-left meters).
Once mouse controls are active, the pointer shape changes to a cross on your screen." "To disable or enable mouse controls, left click (single click on a Mac). To fly, you need to read this list of keyboard shortcuts, but you can also use a mouse or a joystick. Here's the initial view from London Heathrow Airport: You should see this dialog that lets you choose one of the two aircrafts (F16 "Viper" and SR22) and an airport. Open the application, click on the globe and then press Ctrl+Alt+A. It's not quite like Microsoft Flight Simulator, but it's a promising start. Apparently, the latest version of Google Earth has an easter egg: a flight simulator.
