Here is an interesting Google Maps mashup for you to play with. It is a simple flight simulator written in Flash (but not Flash 7 dammit, seriously Adobe, get a Linux version of 9 out now or we will be forced to reverse engineer the Windows version and produce a Linux version ourselves). The controls are left and right to turn the plane, up to climb, down to dive. It sounds like a pretty simple application, but due to the fact that Adobe doesn’t have their priorities straight technical difficulties, I couldn’t use it properly. For those of you who can, feel free to try it out.
