Very impressive indeed. One of the coolest features of the site is the Cockpit view - a very creative use of Google Maps and graphics to give you a Flight Simulator like view from inside the cockpit of any of the thousands of aircraft in the air.
- marquis 14y agoI've been watching a plane 'land' via cockpit mode in my home town, a surreally genuine experience given how well I know the terrain and have flown in so many times. Each time the plane rolls to maneuver in, it's as if I'm back on the flight. Oh, now Google Earth crashed as it was getting to the good part. I feel like I missed the ending of a movie.
- Sander_Marechal 14y agoToo bad that the Google Earth plugin doesn't seem work on Linux.
- deepGem 14y agoFor a second I almost thought it was real as the plane was flying over an ocean. Very well done.
