Google Earth for Pilots

This is part of a new series exploring Google Earth uses for different professions/hobbies.

If you're a pilot, there are many ways Google Earth can be used to really enhance your trip plans both from an aviation and ground-based perspective. But, Google Earth goes way beyond just trip planning as a tool for pilots. I'm a pilot myself, and have been using Google Earth to enhance my flying experiences for nearly three years.

How to Get 3D Buildings in Google Earth Flight Simulator

1. Enter Flight Simulator mode Select "Tools->Enter Flight Simulator". Optional: fly to a city which has 3D buildings (tip: San Francisco, Baltimore, Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte these all have lots of 3D buildings). NOTE: there is a bug in GE 4.3 if you select the "Current View" option in the "Enter Flight Simulator" window, you may end up at an higher altitude than you expect upon starting the flight (much higher). Just fly back down to the city level.

2. Open the Sidebar Sidebar shortcut Press 'Ctrl + Alt + B' (or + Option + B' on the Mac) to bring up the sidebar

3. Turn on 3D Buildings Turn these on in the Layers pane in the lower left after the sidebar opens.

4. Turn Off Sidebar IMPORTANT before resuming the flight simulator, turn off the sidebar by hitting the sidebar shortcut from step 2

5. Resume flight Now you can resume flying the flight simulator by hitting the SPACE key and the 3D buildings should stay on for your current flight.
