Well it’s a Boeing so not too surprising
remember the boeing shuttlecraft was haunted by mysterious noises.
I once parked a Cessna in my parents’ cramped driveway and sent them the pic. Felt good.
That’s great
Crashing would be more fun in MSFS if it had destructible environments and soft body physics.
Or at the very least comically broke into a million pieces like they used to in the old games. (I think I’m specifically thinking of 2000, but I don’t remember for sure. When I try to look up MS Flight Sim 2000 crash, all I get is troubleshooting guides)
The only one I ever played with any kind of destruction was Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator.
They should make another one of those
Like Wreckfest, but with wings and maps.
Sounds like a laugh.

That game exists, it’s called Nuclear Option.
It doesn’t use real world maps which is a shame, but I can see why they don’t because you can literally nuke cities in it.
If a bro cyberbullying you pulls up a picture of your home address in any context, that IS personal.
Some Indian scammer sent me a picture like this with no context and I was so confused, but I guess now it makes sense. Also it wasn’t my house, I don’t know where it was, but it was definitely not where I lived so I’m not sure what that was supposed to achieve.
Flight Gear flight simulator way better :)
I haven’t played a Microsoft Flight Simulator game in a really long time, so excuse me if this is a dumb question. Does the game use actual map data? Does it have entire countries?! That’s kind of wild and makes me want to check the new one out on GamePass.
I also want to crash into my own house.
FS2020 does. It uses bing maps satellite imagery, interprets the map and procrdurally generates buildings. It’s impressive, but up close the buildings look generic and rarely accurate. Google Earth looks better.
However they do have hand made maps of big cities, these are very realistic.
People can use StreetComplete and other software to enhance existing data (e.g. building heights/floors) and overall improve the underlying OpenStreetMap data that it (in part) uses.
My hometown which is tiny is accurately represented in Microsoft flight simulator, I have no idea who took the effort to do that.
The only reason I can think of is that due to some stupid local political reasons it has a major train station despite being a small town, so perhaps they just modelled everything with extensive public infrastructure.
Some of the data it uses is based on OpenStreetMap. There was a viral story about a 212-story building due to a typo.
I wonder what’s the psychological reason we fly planes into our houses in flight sim.
Same reason homing pigeons fly home
I’ve done that to my wife (and really myself).
I just love crashing into real stuff.
I used to crash into the Sears (now Willis) Tower and other tall buildings across the USA in FS99. It became a very not cool thing to do for a few years. No idea why…
Sigh.
Jokes on you, I moved last year. You just murdered a family of five.
I thought they nerfed crashes entirely with the new flight sim
