Don't work too hard; as far as I know, it can't be done.

Thanks, thats good to know. I thought it was something on my end. On
my monitor 1600x1200 resolution, the flight line looks pencil thin.
Would be nice if I could make it nice and fat.

Check the graphics settings in Google Earth's preferences; if lines are
truly pencil-thin, you may need to switch from DirectX to OpenGL or
vice versa.

If you open the .kml file in a text editor there will be a section near
the beginning which reads:

<Style id="lineStyle">
<LineStyle>
<color>64eeee17</color>
<width>4</width>
</LineStyle>
</Style>

Change the width value to a larger number and save the file.

Unfortunately, this is only true in Google Earth 4 and above. If
you're using GE3, 4 is the maximum recognized width for track lines.
