Finally got around to trying it today. Its fun, but I'm surprised at what they left out. There is no compass for one. Its a little hard to find your way without one, you'd think Google Earth would know that. It is nice that you get the lat,long, and altitude in the bottom right, however the altitude is in metric, just how are we americans supposed to use that? :)
Flying with a joystick was great. Most of my buttons worked, but there are a couple I'd reprogram if I could. Flying with the mouse is tricky, since the yoke feels backwards when using a mouse. Using the keyboard as a yoke is borderline impossible.
Flying through the Grand Canyon was a real treat. I'd encourage anybody to try it.
