Earlier quoted context omitted.

Controls work normally for me on a desktop

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

Am I tripping or was this in Google Earth ages ago? I distinctly remember flying SU-27 on Google Earth map like a decade or more ago.

It’s only new for the web version (but this seems way worse than the one in the desktop version, sadly)
