The huge truck ship Ever Given has been stuck for almost a weekteam in the Suez Canal, captivating the Internet and frustrating the groups responsible for its removal.
The ship (Evergreen) has become so graphic that it became a destination in Microsoft Flight Simulator, at least for a virtual pilot who seems to have created a mod that brought the ship into the virtual world of the game.
Twitter user Mat Velloso shared a TikTok video, which was originally recorded and uploaded by the user “donut_enforcement”. The video shows a flyby of the freighter in a convincing pilot narrative as it sits stuck between the canal banks. The scene looks very realistic which is a testament to the quality of the mod as well as the demanding ones graphics of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Of course, there is nothing to prevent the Asobo developer from updating the game with newer satellite imagery to include the ship for all players as there are many such photos taken in the last six days.
However, given that the game comes from Bing Maps images and is not always updated in time, you will probably not see Ever Given unless you can modify it as in the video above.
