Screw it, Mario Kart in Microsoft Flight Simulator, why not
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/screw-it-mario-kart-in-microsoft-flight-simulator-why-not/
Microsoft Flight Simulator is getting an official racing mode soon, but composer and environment artist Illogicoma had their own very bright idea: what about flying these beauties through some Mario Kart 8 tracks? Having the skills to make it a reality, this pioneering aviator just went ahead and did it (thanks, Kotaku).
The below video is timestamped to the point where Illogicoma and chums get down to the serious business of taking some planes around Mario Kart tracks. As they note themselves, planes were not exactly built for karting tracks (and vice-versa), so there's some shonkiness going on with the collision detection and turns that are impossible to make with the game's mechanics.
(...)
"As a proof of concept, [the mod is] not available right now," writes Illogicoma. "Sorry!" The video description adds "I really wouldn't be happy releasing it in the current state (it wasn't actually built as a proper package—we loaded from source) and I don't have masses of time to spend on it, but I would like to see about making this a bit more polished and maybe adding some more tracks. Never say never, but don't expect a big drop anytime soon." With a nice smiley face at the end.
