Microsoft Flight Simulator is now out and people wasted no time hopping in a plane and exploring the world. While there are plenty of wonders to explore for yourself, there’s also a lot of oddities out there.

We’ve been scouring Twitter for some of our favorites, so make sure to check them out below!

Just cars doing completely normal car things
Microsoft Flight Simulator AI includes traffic patterns, but gets confused sometimes about where to put the cars vertically.
