You need to have the downloaded program, and you probably need the version that came out a few weeks ago,you know the one where you can also view the stars?

 

 

 

Yea, so I was trying to do a select all, cut, paste on my search box... turns out I didn't have the search box selected and hitting Control+A when nothing is selected opens up a little easter egg. Well, actually, make that a BIG easter egg. Seriously, check it out. Can't believe CNET or anyone big hasn't reported this yet.

So you can look up into the sky from the earth? That is awesome :)

 

Hmm? Well you can look up into the sky and stars with the new Google Earth but that's not what I'm talking about with the whole Control A thing. Go to your home town, and keep the elevation under 20,000 feet and then try it.

 

 

 

How do you fly? lmao

 

So far I found page up/down is throttle, and the arrow keys are pitch and turning. I'm looking for anything else at the moment...

 

 

 

It was on digg yesterday.

 

:cry: Aww, they beat me by a day. I found this one by myself :cry:

Up and down is pitch up and down.

 

Left and right is srsly tilt.

 

Add shift for small corrections.

 

C is centre, if you go out of control.

 

Page Up and Page Down for speed.

 

That flap on the back wing is Ins for right and Enter for left.

 

Spacebar is pause.

 

 

 

=D

 

 

 

The secret of Trapical's awesome content: Slashdot. They just had an article up about this. oO

Nice find yourself on that guide No_OnE, with it I managed to find out how to land :D (it was in some field in Texas). I'm going to try and take off from a town 50 miles away from my house and land on the highway parallel to my house ::'

 

 

 

Oh and no, I didn't find this on Slashdot, it was an honest to goodness accidental stumble, you can ask my friends I am a keyboard shortcut fiend, I even did a thread about it a while back.Besides, Control A (select all) is one of the keyboard shortcuts I use a lot :wink:

I don't think its an easter egg, the BBC had an article about it the other week and it was also in the Daily Mirror.
