my current ver. release states 4.2.0181.2634(beta)
filename = Google_Earth_BZXD.exe

noted the older ver. f15 was nose up at aprox 300mph.

most recent ver. f15 nose up at approx 420mph,

the controls are much smoother in the new version (much!)

the small craft still goes into the weeds at takeoff !

****
the new version installs a GE toolbar updater (generates another system process), you might want to dump it from starting up
