The huge cargo ship Ever Given has been stuck for almost a week in the Suez Canal, fascinating the Internet and frustrating the teams responsible for its removal.
The ship (Evergreen) has become so iconic, it has become a destination at Microsoft Flight Simulator, at least for a virtual pilot who seems to have created a mod that brought the ship into the game's virtual world.
Ο user of Twitter Mat Velloso shared a TikTok video, το οποίο είχε αρχικά καταγραφεί και ανεβάσει ο χρήστης “donut_enforcement”. Το βίντεο δείχνει ένα flyby του φορτηγού πλοίου σε μια πειστική αφήγηση πιλότου καθώς κάθεται κολλημένο ανάμεσα στις όχθες της διώρυγας. Η σκηνή φαίνεται πολύ ρεαλιστική, κάτι που αποτελεί απόδειξη της ποιότητας του mod αλλά και των απαιτητικών γραφικών του 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.
