It feels so personal

If a bro cyberbullying you pulls up a picture of your home address in any context, that IS personal.

I once parked a Cessna in my parents’ cramped driveway and sent them the pic. Felt good.
That's great

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.
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.

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.
Some of the data it uses is based on OpenStreetMap. There was a viral story about a 212-story building due to a typo.

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.

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.

Jokes on you, I moved last year. You just murdered a family of five.

I wonder what's the psychological reason we fly planes into our houses in flight sim.
Same reason homing pigeons fly home

It's the thought that counts.

There used to be some that had a backwards facing door with stairs you could jump out of. Famously, D. B. Cooper did that. But afterwards, most of these doors were secured so that they could not open during flight to prevent future hijackers from doing what D. B. Cooper did.

It feels like a good amount of effort. I appreciate that.

Do that with some specific politicians.

Do they contribute? If they make money with the data, they should.
