Unfortunately, whoever did the controls for this doesn't understand how airplanes work.

The first part of OP's page indicates

> Simplified flight physics: The flight simulator is designed for casual exploration rather than high-fidelity aerodynamic training.

Google made flying possible with 6 controls only, and it's a feature!

It works normally, but they indeed have no busines helping you prepare for ATP license exam with beautiful maps in the browser

It'a an arcade game and it's fun

		Indeed nobody should have an assumption this would prepare you for an ATP, that alone should be disqualifying. The post i replied to was talking about the controls being wrong, which I guess might be a bug. For what it is the controls are correct tho

So much for hiring “smart creatives” and supporting their work I guess…source: Introduction section of 2014’s “How Google Works” (I returned it to the library after that, I’m not going to hate-read stuff even if it would give me some insight into Eric Schmidt’s career)
