Woa there! They embedded an entire flight sim in Google Earth ? That's a lot of work and pretty impressive for an easter egg, even when coming from Google!

I wonder how they justify the effort put into those things.. 20 percent time perhaps ?

There was a flight simulator hidden in MS Excel 97 as well, which makes even less sense. The only thing that sort of rationalizes it is that it's a stripped-down version of MS Flight Simulator.

"The simulator was originally inserted as an easter egg but has since become one of the official features of the programme."

Yeah well, when you have a flight sim in your program, you almost have to do something useful with it, not ?

I just wonder where they got the time to build it in the first place. As far as i know, it's not like Google had a flight sim in their portfolio before.

I'm going to get downvoted for saying this but this article is clearly diggbait.

I can't seem to get "about:internets" to work in chrome on any os. Anyone else having any luck?

You need to have the "pipes" screensaver installed.
