Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, played as intended, is absolutely fantastic—its 1:1 recreation of earth is a technical masterwork. That said, I was interested in actually exploring that world beneath its beautiful cloud formations—what I found was absolutely not what I expected. Here’s the story of how I accidentally managed to turn Flight Simulator into a walking sim—how a seemingly simple shift in perspective led me on one of the wildest journeys I’ve had with a game in some time, uncovering things about Flight Simulator that I never thought I’d find. It also got me thinking about intended play, game preservation, speedrunning and, well… my own place in the universe.

Landing a 747 after a short one hour flight in VR makes my heart beat as fast as winning a game of PUBG 😀
Hmmm RPG Mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator next using real earth locations.
Sound track used?
The foundation is here, for creating the most impressive driving sim.💕🚗
Here is the lore behind msfs2020: all of humanity is gone. A massive earthquake destroyed thousands of buildings. once bustling streets with storefronts was now a giant heaping pile of rubble from the collapsed buildings. Self driving cars now drive endlessly until they break down. those that have broken down are now turned to stone. In places where there isn't debris, nature has taken over. Humanity has been gone for 30 years.
This is like a worse version of a fever dream.
You should check out Space Engine for a very similar experience. You can experience an entirely generated universe with many real celestial bodies or nearly infinitely created ones. You mostly fly around without a body but you can go on planets and walk around in a similar way to this video. I find it fun to land on random planets and look around
I wonder if the Flight Sim World can be shared with other simulators. Driving, Hiking, Sailing, Farming, all sorts of Battle Sims. And as those Sims optimise the Earth for their needs, those additions leak back into the other sims.
And then you can jump from one Sim mode into another. Get out of the plane, drive to a station then into a train.
Microsoft Sim Earth.
Thia man draws different demographics of gamers with his awesome narration and content
This is the best game review/thing I've ever seen.
Jacob Geller also has a great video about this game, you two should hang out or smthn lol
Yes, it is a wonderful, a spectacular privilege. But just wait until you discover the real world, that'll bake your noodle.
you are an amazing storyteller. I was gripped the entire time.
You know you can actually speed up the simulation for long haul flights…
Respectfully, I think your first and possibly biggest mistake is to think of MSFS 2020 s a "Game" rather than the simulation of reality it is intended to be. I believe that other REAL pilots out there will understand this.
Great Video ! There are so many things to discover in MSFS, you can spent your whole life in the game and hav not seen everything
That blue bathtub is not a bathtub. That’s a baptismal.
I’ve said this for the longest time, but the technology behind flight simulator shouldn’t be wasted on only flying
How do you have such good imaginization? Oh my, I am going to keep that spelling mistake XD.
0:38 Crazy system requirements? What? I have a 5 year old computer using 6 year old technology and i'm getting 30fps+ with pretty good graphics. Anyone claiming this sim has "crazy system requirements" either hasn't tried P3D of FSX before, or has unrealistic expectations.
man if red dead online had a map that big id be finding new places still to this day.
