Google Flight Simulator

Google Earth, the coolest app ever — go to "Crisis in Darfur" if you have any doubts — now includes a hidden flight simulator, as discovered by Marco Gallotta, a South African student. Once you've started Google Earth, type Control+Alt+A in Widndws or Command+Option+A in OS X. You'll then be given a choice of two planes to fly. The controls are documented here.

Throttle control seems to be max or idle. Am I missing something?
