Apparently a bunch of the flight simulator glitches are because they used machine learning to infer height data i.e. using roof furniture to figure out if something's a skyscraper or a shopping mall.— Janelle Shane (@JanelleCShane) August 19, 2020
I wonder what locations would end up the most cursed.https://t.co/Jjwd3v94md
By far my favorite Microsoft Flight Simulator quirk is that it doesn't know how to handle palm trees, so Southern California is full of these terrifying obelisks jutting forth from the pavement like so many teeth. pic.twitter.com/OqkmuSfimn— Hayden Dingman (@haydencd) August 19, 2020
The scariest bridge in Microsoft Flight Simulator is this one in Portland that's just a solid wall with trucks glued on the sides. pic.twitter.com/09Vouyyn5q— Hayden Dingman (@haydencd) August 19, 2020
Absolutely loving how Microsoft Flight Simulator’s AI has accidentally turned Buckingham Palace into a block of flats.— Ben Sheen (@Ben_Sheen) August 18, 2020

In Microsoft Flight Simulator a bizarrely eldritch, impossibly narrow skyscraper pierces the skies of Melbourne's North like a suburban Australian version of Half-Life 2's Citadel, and I am -all for it- pic.twitter.com/6AH4xgIAWg— Alexander Muscat (@alexandermuscat) August 19, 2020

And a dramatic micro adventure:
After lunch, my 5-year-old son helped me fly to Mojave Air & Space Port, where we landed. He wanted to go to the ocean to look for pirates, so I told him we had to get gas at the "gas station"/hangar, but I scraped a wingtip as I pulled up and the plane exploded.— John Wiseman (@lemonodor) August 19, 2020
