The 212-story skyscraper in Melbourne, Australia

Is it morbid of me to wonder what happens if you fly a plane into such a building in Flight Simulator? It just… sticks out so much that crashing into it seems the obvious thing to try.<p>(Judging by <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=GhrGEdO88kE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=GhrGEdO88kE</a> where someone eventually succeeds in landing on this building, it looks like if you fail the screen just goes black at the point of impact, so no interesting physics simulation.)

Kinda looks like 432 Park Avenue!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;432_Park_Avenue" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;432_Park_Avenue</a>

Good to see OSM being actively used though.. I really love that project. And the maps, at least here locally, are of amazing quality. When I&#x27;m hiking, on Google and Apple maps I&#x27;m walking in a grey square. OSM has the tiniest mountain trails. Love it.<p>And mistakes do happen, hope this one would get corrected though :) And it&#x27;s not the only one of its kind! Many are seen all around the world.

The ridiculousness of this brought unexpected joy. It reminded me of the The Centrifuge Brain Project.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RVeHxUVkW4w" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RVeHxUVkW4w</a>

I love the concept of massive buildings &#x2F; structures in areas without such but I don’t think the city people would enjoy such buildings in actuality.<p>The massive circular mine in Russia comes to mind (no pun intended).

Aside: One of the best FSX posters out there is AirForceProud95. He&#x27;s what got me into flight sims, at least for a little while. A good compilation here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=i8E3SyMbaSk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=i8E3SyMbaSk</a>

Did Microsoft credit Open Street Map?

As an aside, I was curious how on a few of the trailers they feature out of all the places in the world - Warrnambool (Victoria).<p>Given, it&#x27;s a picturesque place (having grown up and gone to school there), but maybe not as interesting as say a low level flyby of the 12 Apostles about 10min flight time back along the coast.<p>Was there a competition to get your town in the trailer, or one of the developers grew up there and slipped it in?

Oh that&#x27;s too funny.<p>On a side note: I signed up for the discounted $1 trial month of Xbox Game Pass just to try this game out. The download and installation process was ridiculously slow and causing my CPU to ramp up to 80-100° even while undervolting it. On a brand new i7 9750. Not sure what that was all about. I put the process on pause... I am looking forward to giving it a try, though. Anyone else have any difficulties?

The article says it&#x27;s impossibly narrow but is it really? It&#x27;s only about 2.5 times taller than 432 Park Avenue in New York, but it also looks a little bit wider.<p>A building like this would probably sway a bit more than usual at the top due to being so tall and having no other wind breakers around it, but I imagine it could be possible to build and live in safely.

Now I&#x27;m wondering if in engineering terms such a tall, thin building could be constructed.

I hope they keep the building or make it an option. This is the sort of creativity that seems to only happen by accident. It makes the game better for some people, they enjoy the fun backstory and challenge of navigating around and landing on it.

Let me remind all citizens of the dangers of magical thinking.

I really think this should now be built.

There is something much funnier happening in Melbourne right now :D
