As I don't do much scripting these days I was wondering if anyone is working on/or has made a script for controlling the Google Earth Flight Simulator, if not then I may do one myself as the keyboard controls are too confusing.

Uow, that would be fantastic a script with motion sense *---*

Well, if anyone wanna try, see te controls and how to open the simulator here

Here is a rather simple one I threw together. I know it's not very good; I literally threw it together in about 5 minutes at the most. I'll probably end up tweaking it more as time goes by, but it does work pretty decently. Even at this stage, it is easier to fly with this compared to the mouse.

I designed this using the Wii Wheel (the one that typically comes with Mario Kart), so the roll/pitch is based off of that. Therefore, laying the wii remote on its left side is the equivalent of the "dead zone". Twisting/tilting it back moves the mouse down, therefore, the plane up. Tilting forward goes forward. So on and so forth.

I haven't found the true "dead zone" for the Google Earth simulator, so even if you have it in what seems to be the center, the plane will still go up slightly. I just have to find the exact location (or rather close). Feel free to find it yourself.

B clicks the mouse to turn on/off steering. A stops/starts the plane ("pause" mode in the simulator).

I couldn't get the wiimote2 parts to work, so don't worry about it. I think my seconds wii remote won't connect right.

Once again, sorry if this is not what you were hoping/expecting, but I wanted a script for this, too, and, admittedly, I'm not that good with scripting yet.

If any other devs have a suggestion/correction, feel free to modify or suggest.

I don't know if I'll ever update this (I'm hoping/planning to). If I do, I will add more controls (probably change throttle).
