You will know if you are in G-Force mode if you have an airplane icon for the mouse pointer.  Once you're in G-Force mode, you can use your controller device to fly in Google Earth.  With a flight stick controller you can use your yoke to fly like a plane.   Unfortunately, with my controller (a Virtual Pilot Pro) the throttle control doesn't control speed.  I found some of the buttons on the controller would control speed though.  (You can also right click your mouse and move forward and backwards to control speed).  But, the pitch and roll works as expected with the yoke.  It's a very fun way to fly around in Google Earth.  Check it out if you have a controller!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2006/09/google_earth_as_a_fl.html">Windows 4.0.2091</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2006/09/google_earth_as_a_fl.html">which has a new control feature in the options for controllers.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2006/09/google_earth_as_a_fl.html">like Joysticks, Flight Yoke/Rudder controls for flight simulators</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2006/09/google_earth_as_a_fl.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.gearthblog.com/img/72D1546D-79F5-46D9-B200-04BF22C9440B" alt="Flight Sim Flying in Google Earth" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ED542E52-D933-43E2-9A03-5E7E3941298F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
