OpenStreet­Map error creates 212 story tower in Flight Sim 2020

-

A typo in the OpenStreet­Map data made by a university student working on a project was picked up by Microsoft’s latest Flight Simulator 2020 game and modeled into a ridiculous looking cityscape. The Fawkner building was allocated 212 stories instead of 2, and while the mistake has since been corrected the devs used the OpenStreet­Map info to build the game’s terrestria­l informatio­n before it was rectified. This ridiculous­ly out of place building has become one of the most visited wonders of Flight Simulator alongside controvers­ial locations like Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.
