Hundreds players of its free Flight Simulator game Microsoft, flew into Hurricane Laura thanks to online simulation weather that the game has.
Lovers of Flight Sim They "flew" under difficult conditions, from the security of their homes, exploring Hurricane Laura. As the devastating hurricane made landfall off the coast of America yesterday, the Flight Sim community activated the Live Weather simulation and went to Hurricane Laura.
Ο user of Reddit SirCashRegister posted a picture from the game world, just outside of Texas. In his post you will see the map of Texas, as well as several small green dots, which represent the players piloting the virtual journey in the same region.
The team of virtual pilots undoubtedly saw some of the most beautiful images that Flight Sim can provide. THE Reddit user JKeith26 gave us a beautiful orange sky that pierced the deadly clouds. While Hurricane Laura was devastating to those on land, the colored clouds were unquestionably spectacular. Of course and others users sent various stunning photos.
As for the navigation... despite the fact that Microsoft Flight Simulator's online weather drastically reduces the speeds of hurricanes you encounter, smaller virtual aircraft reportedly had problems in navigation.
