It feels so personal

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)
MSFM 2000 was the one (and only one) that I've played, and unfortunately no, it just pauses the game right on impact.

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

Hm, maybe it was 98? I forget which version I had as a kid, but it was one that had a flat image as the cockpit, definitely pre MSFS X.

I thought they nerfed crashes entirely with the new flight sim

Well it’s a Boeing so not too surprising
remember the boeing shuttlecraft was haunted by mysterious noises.

The only one I ever played with any kind of destruction was Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator.
They should make another one of those

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.

Same reason homing pigeons fly home

It's the thought that counts.

wrote last edited by [email protected]You can't eject from commercial jetliners. You can't even jump out of most of them.
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.
