TYPO ON MSFS 2020 Caused this 212 story skyscraper in melborn Au.

Post by trucker17 »

I found this this morning in Yahoo news.

A typo created a 212-story monolith in ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’
The building soars like a Tower of Babel over a quiet Melbourne suburb.
Catch the story here.

I'm surprised that wasn't fixed during alpha or beta. Was everyone just concentrating on taking screen shots instead of troubleshooting?

It does seem kind-of hard to miss. Were the testers assigned certain areas to fly around in?

I agree, twsharp, it is kind of funny :) . Fun fodder for the flight sim discussion boards of the world.

No idea, but did see many complaints about the trees around Sydney, not a great distance away, and those were fixed.
