Microsoft Flight Simulator has recently proved its real-time weather tracker. As some states in the America experience Hurricane Laura, gamers of the new app hunt down the center of the storm. And the images were so breathtaking to see and watch.

There's beauty in chaos

If you think that the above image was edited, you're wrong. It is actually a screen-capped from the famous simulation game called Microsoft Flight Simulator amid Hurricane Laura.

On Wednesday, Aug. 26, Hurricane Laura put Texas and parts of Louisiana to its devastating state under extreme wind warnings. The storm has already reached Category 4 storm, which forced over 620,000 people to evacuate from their houses.

Though there's nothing to be grateful about this storm amid pandemic, players of the newly-released Microsoft Flight Simulator have seen spectacular and amazing images out of the raging storm.

Players of the game are now heading to the center of the storm, which seemed to be not scary if you're in a simulation game. And the results were breathtaking-- just like the image above.

Here are some other examples of the captured images from Microsoft Flight Simulator amid Hurricane Laura:

Of course, when the images were posted online, it went trending immediately. Most of the feedbacks were positive, saying that the screen captured looks very real, and beautiful in the most dangerous way. How this game captures the storm

On Aug. 18, Microsoft Corporation and Xbox Game Studios released the "ultrarealistic flight sim" of all time called Microsoft Flight Simulator.

"From light planes to wide-body jets, fly highly detailed and accurate aircraft in the next generation of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Test your piloting skills against the challenges of night flying, real-time atmospheric simulation, and live weather in a dynamic and living world," the game's synopsis.

As said, this game has a series of amateur flight simulator programs designed to allow players to travel around the globe even at home. And especially amid Coronavirus lockdown.

Impressively, the game has a real-time weather tracker as one of its key functions. So if a country or a specific place has been experiencing a storm, Microsoft Flight Simulator will detect its real-time catastrophic damage, from at least 38,000 feet.

Hurricane Laura landfalls in Texas-Louisiana border

Hurricane Laura already landfalls in the Texas-Louisiana border over Wednesday. Almost every residence has cut power in order to keep everyone safe from shock.

This storm is said to be one of the deadliest hurricanes that passed in the US this year. Forecasters called it the "unsurvivable storm surge."

So far, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards confirmed that one casualty was already reported from the strong hurricane.
