- mbthompson, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Because it's Google and that's why they rock!

- x00x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It is surprising that Google didn't choose to promote this intriguing little program of theirs. Nevertheless, the flight simulator controls are nothing to get excited about. They're extremely limited and simplistic in implementation. Still cool, though.
- wazzledoozle2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The mouse controls work a lot better than the keyboard.
- x00x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1 I never use the keyboard for any game commands or immersive play involvement. As cumbersome as the mouse controls can be the keyboard controls are ridiculous.Thanks for the heads up, though.

See you in Git-mo Larry and Sergey. - MrVW, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1remember Microsoft office 97', excel had a nice little flight simulator :P
