If you're flying around Melbourne, Australia in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft Flight Simulator, you might notice a rather peculiar 212-floor skyscraper - ludicrously tall and impossibly narrow. No, Australia isn't building from Dragon Ball Z🀅. It turns out a simple typo is responsible for the silly-looking ✱building.

Thanks to the excellent by the Twitter community (and for the shout), the catalyst that would eventually create this strange phenomenon has been identified. About a year back, someone erroneou♏sly labeled a two-stor💮y building in OpenStreetMap suggesting it was 212 floors tall. Thanks to some unfortunate timing, developer Asobo Studio pulled that same data when they were building the vast world map in Flight Simulator, resulting in what would be the tallest building ever (if it were real).

, we know it's possible, and the views are breathtaking.

Microsoft Flight Simulator released on Thursday to mostly positive reviews. Our own Sam Loveridge 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:called it "a high-end flight simulator for those looking specifically for that, but also a surprisingly zen, almost meditative digital tourism experience for others." For now it's only on PC - and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:you'll need some serious free space to install it - but it's coming to Xbox One at ♛an undisclosed date.
