Flight simulators are unbelievably realistic, but they can always improve. That's exactly why one modder added a giant Gundam to Microsoft Flight Simulator...to make the game more realistic (seriously).
Players have been marveling at the incredible level of detail that Microsoft Flight Simulator offers. In fact, nobody has ever seen the full potential of the game because the hardware required to get everything out of it doesn't exist yet. Of course, a game that allows you to fly all over the world in this kind of detail is going to have some mistakes—as well as massive opportunities for mods.
Aside from the obvious addition, (Godzilla) the thing that needed to be added to the game was a massive Gundam. Luckily, a mod for just such a thing is now live at Nexus mods. In fact, the creator of this mod was actually inspired by the Godzilla mod—and real life.
Apparently, engineers have built an actual moving 1-to-1 scale Gundam at a factory in Yokohama, Japan. Due to outdated maps, the actual statue isn't in the game, but the modded statue is located in the parking lot of the factory. After downloading the mod, you can spawn at the Yokohama Landmark Tower and fly directly south-east where you'll be able to spot the mech.
It's a really cool addition that clearly had a lot of love poured into it. Microsoft Flight Simulator itself is a labor of love with its meticulously recreated plane details and (mostly) faithful rendering of the real world from satellite images. The surprisingly vibrant community is also a draw for the game outside of what it offers on its own. People are doing incredible things in the game, including collectively taking off and landing one of the world's biggest jet-liners through a Twitch stream and flying into real-world hurricanes.
At this point, it's clear that Microsoft Flight Simulator isn't going anywhere for a while. We're glad that it isn't because this surprise community is putting out a lot of good, wholesome content that we want more of.
