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 picturesque, 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.
Ο χρήστης του Twitter Mat Velloso μοιράστηκε ένα 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 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, considering the game derives from its Bing Maps images and doesn't always refresh on time, you probably won't see Ever Given, except if you can modify it like in the video above.
