There are gitches… and gitches, and those of Microsoft Flight Simulator they are extremely funny. If you thought you had seen everything in what is today one of the best flight simulators, wait until you see the peculiar place that some users have discovered.
Interstellar in Flight Simulator
In the purest style of the black hole of interstellar, the players of Flight Simulator who have approached the airport Lagoa Nova Airport (SBLG) have been able to experience what happens when you crash into a time vortex. That is at least the conclusion we draw when we see the images that are being shared on the networks.
For example, Larry Kyrala has uploaded his peculiar walk through the area to his YouTube account. Taking off from the Brazilian airport of Currais Novos (SNKN), he only had to approach the indicated airport to be met with horror. A spectacular hole in the ground could be seen in the area, and of course, some have not hesitated to explore it.
And of course, this has given rise to memes:

What has caused this hole?
According to the suspicions of some users, it is most likely that the airport data does not have the local altitude data correctly, and since the area is about 12.000 feet, a simple annotation error could have led to the rendering of the surface from the airport to completely unknown levels.
This is what Kyrala himself points out, who indicates that the height registered in SBLG is 2690 feet, a distance that is far from the 12.000 feet recorded in the area. The result is, therefore, an abysmal drop in the height of the terrain, resulting in a true pit of darkness that luckily remains illuminated by incorrect lighting calculations that occur in the scene.
This hole in the ground might as well go through a mod for Flight Simulator, but no, it is simply a bug in the game that will probably be fixed in a future update.
