The 2020 edition of Flight Simulator is out, and the video game we’ve been playing for decades is breathtakingly real-looking, and that’s not hyperbole.
The details in the graphics — down to the most minute thing — are incredibly realistic, as are the towns and cities, so much so that some users are visiting their actual houses within the game.
That realism has led some players to take an in-air tour of various stadiums around the world, and I have to say: it’s pretty awesome, particularly in a year when we might not be visiting said stadiums anytime soon. Note there are a few glitches here and there that make the stadiums look weird, but that just ups the entertainment value!
Here’s a roundup of what users have toured:
