Disabling Google Earth flightsim :)

[3s-gtech]

Finally had a chance to look into this today, if anyone else is getting fed up of the kids faffing around with this try this:

 

Startup script for student PCs:

 

if exist "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth" ren "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\res\flightsim" disabledflightsim

 

Obviously very simple - but it may help you out. By changing just this directory, the rest of the app still works fine, just gives an error when they try the flight sim. Can obviously be easily re-enabled too.

Or for an alternative go into ggp -> computer config -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> ini files -> delete: C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\client\res\flightsim\flightsim.ini
