MICROSOFT’S new flight simulator has received rave reviews since its release last week.

The ultra-realistic game has been praised for its stunning graphics and life-like scenery.

Scots, however, have had a bone or two to pick with Microsoft.

Unfortunately, a couple of the nation’s landmarks have been subject to somewhat unflattering renovations.

The Wallace Monument in Stirling, for instance, has been replaced by a standard block of flats – not quite the tribute the freedom fighter would have hoped for.

It was flagged up by Reddit user DanielOfGreen, who commented: “Flight sim places 3d models on satellite maps to form the game world and this block of flats is made to represent the Wallace monument.”

But that’s not all the simulator has got wrong in Scotland.

The world-renowned Edinburgh Castle has also been given a makeover, replaced by some not so picturesque flats.

Not everyone was disappointed, however. “A public housing policy win imo,” Danny Page commented.

It’s not just Scotland that’s had its landmarks altered.

In Australia, the Sydney Harbor Bridge was replaced by a less grandiose motorway crossing.

Microsoft overcompensated in Melbourne by inventing a completely new landmark.

The errors are a result of the AI system used to generate most of the game’s world simulation.

And any Scots crying conspiracy can rest assured that our southern neighbours were not spared from the glitches.

Developer Asobo Studio has said it is working on free updates and improvements to iron out any faults, so enjoy the new-look landmarks while you can...
