I can't afford Microsoft's delicious Flight Simulator from r/wow

The WeakAuras add-on lets you modify the World of Warcraft UI with custom graphics. There are plenty of things you could do with that, but one I did not expect to see was WoW being transformed into a flight sim with a South Park aesthetic. But that's what Redditor Fumbleturkey did, demonstrating it with a video titled "I can't afford Microsoft's delicious Flight Simulator" that shows them taking off from the Borean Tundra flight path, then landing and casting some spells which are animated as kicks and flipping the bird.

Fumbleturkey previously showed what WeakAuras can do by putting WoW in first-person mode while riding a horse and murdering a proudhorn. And most recently, followed their budget WoW version of Microsoft Flight Simulator with a similar take on Farming Simulator.

As every single person on Reddit has pointed out already, yes, Microsoft Flight Simulator is available quite cheap on Game Pass. The video is still funny.

I can't afford delicious Farming Simulator either from r/wow

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
