I think this is quite tricky... I had a go and didn't realise the controls were inverted... so I applied full thrust straight away and just went smack bang down into the ground again. Get the newest version of google earth here and then press CTRL+ALT+A and hold them all and let go and the info box should come up...These are the instructions so erm... tell me how you guys get on... or make a U tube video of it... :)

I have to say that I haven't updated Google Earth in a while!

best download ever, only problem i do have with it is the 3d buildings, takes 30 minutes to 45 minutes to load them, i seen a few google groups complaining as well, this same thing happen to any of you as well?? i have defragged, scandisked, un and reinstalled google earth, and made sure my video card is up to date used both openGL and the directx modes, i use google earth free and the admins and moderators from on the message boards the little google earth communities i's lead you to are of no help! i have a feeling thisis on the server side and i wish whoever does layout and design or coding would fix it.

I heard about this on the Gadget Show. Only problem is that Google Earth is in 2D so New York wouldn't be very realistic to fly round. Still, that reduces terrorist attacks.
