I almost flew under that bridge, but the water got in the way. The F16 is the easiest to control.

The only problem is that it doesn't work in space view, so no spaceships. :(

    So fly over to Dubai and wreck that tower they're building.

    I can't increase thrust on my laptop b/c the page up key is attached to the arrow key. No taking off for me :(

    I just landed an F16 without dying.

    (In an open field)

    Now to try landing on a bridge. Someone give me a good bridge to try.

    Leave everything level and put the throttle all the way up and let it go. Wonky physics are fun. :D

    Is it sad that originality in thread creation is dependent upon one's desire to create a conversation vs. one's ability to steal said conversation from another place? (Being that this thread's subject is also the subject of the #1 news item on digg.)

    Not that this is necessarily a bad thing and it's quite possible the two exist independent of each other.

    I don't even use digg. I found this in a web log post in my news reader.

    I actually found this in the news reader yesterday afternoon, well before the digg entry was posted.

    Edit: Apparently there was another entry posted 20 hours ago.

    Why is this not working for me

    I don't even have the option of flight mode

    What version do you need? I have 4.2, that should be the latest

    Edit: never mind

    Also worth trying Ctrl-Win-A if Ctrl-Alt-A doesn't work - the former worked on mine.
