Google Earth has its own built-in flight simulator feature that allows you to fly around any part of the world. To enter the flight simulator click ‘Tools’, then ‘Enter Flight Simulator’. You need to choose the aircraft – the SR22 is a slower plane and easier for beginners – and your start position. A head-up display (HUD) will appear showing the flying controls and you use the mouse to operate the plane (or a joystick if you have one).
