Plane bigger than planet?

Any airport for this beast?

Boeing seem to have got a bit carried away by their 737 version of the Guppy and Dreamlifter!😁

I got one of these earlier😄:

Weird!  I am going to load up a model of the Independence Day Saucer spacecraft to make it look real!

Imagine the fuel economy. Use the front door to enter in Boston, and the rear door to exit in Rome. No need to move the plane at all. Brilliant!

Just fly it over to Jupiter and you're all set.

This is honestly the best bug this sim has lol

It would be interesting to know what makes it happen. I haven't flown a single engine Cessna for a few weeks so it shouldn't be some kind of 'ghost image' left over from a recent flight.

Not related, but I can't find a way to spin the globe other than zooming in and out. I vaguely remember being able to do that in the past but either something had changed or it's just me missing something (probably the latter)

I've had image of Emirates A380 last week, so it could be ghost from AI traffic 😀

That could be possible - I did get up very close and personal to an AI Cessna not too long before that image appeared on the map.

I had that issue a long time ago.

One thing to check is if you are using an Xbox controller, make sure it's not interfering. I've never managed to find the correct deadzone & sensitivity settings to stop it making the map move when I'm trying to click on it, so I just take its batteries out. If the controller is active before starting the sim, that should avoid the problem however.

No, no xbox controllers. Actually I AM interested in making it move using the mouse but the only way I can move from , say, a European to as American airport is through a series of zoom out/in

Which is exactly how it should be working for you. Hopefully someone can come up with a solution. What you could try in the meantime is going to Windows Settings>Apps>Installed Apps>Microsoft Flight Simulator, click on the 3 dots, chose Advanced Options and click on Repair under Reset. Don't click on the Reset button as I don't know what data that would delete. With luck, the Repair option may just reset the mouse control.

A year on, and it's baaack!

 

Thought we'd got shot of this glitch, and it looks like two planes in one this time.😶
