Well it’s a Boeing so not too surprising

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

    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)

    Like Wreckfest, but with wings and maps.

    Sounds like a laugh.

    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.

    Amateurs, I doubt there's a place I haven't crashed into yet

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

    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…

    I feel bad for laughing at this, but I remember feeling really bad about myself after crashing a plane in that large GTA:San Andreas tower and as a kid, I immediately started thinking the feds are now watching me.

    More concerning is that they know my address.

    The key is to send it too then when they're not at home.

    For me it was always crashing into my own house in MS Flight Sim

    did the pilot eject? not sure how that works in commercial airplanes

    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.

    I thought they nerfed crashes entirely with the new flight sim
