Microsoft Flight Simulator Mario Kart Mod lets players race in Mario Kart 8 race tracks using their planes.

Microsoft Flight Simulator has been around since the ‘80s and has rapidly evolved ever since. The franchise replicates realistic aircraft simulations which depict a nearly true-to-life flying experience. In the latest edition of Flight Simulator, the game received a lot of praise for its impressive graphics. Just recently, modders have been testing the graphical limitations of Flight Simulator by adding elements from other games. This time around, a modder by the name of Illogicoma added a Mario Kart 8 track to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Microsoft Flight Simulator may not be everyone's cup of tea. In fact, many would consider the game too slow and bland to even be a game. However, Illogicoma's clearly a fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and these Mario Kart mods add some life to the simulator, making it appealing to a wider audience. The modder notably added tracks such as Mount Wario, Cloudtop Cruise, Moo Moo Meadows, and Rainbow Road. Not only does this add more flavor to a bland game, but somehow these modded tracks also add more challenges. Interestingly, the Microsoft Flight Simulator Mario Kart mod is somehow a tougher flight because of the sharp and tight turns the plane has to make. 

If you want to experience this mod, players simply need to use Illogicoma’s Blender2MSFS add-on and export them into the game. Keep in mind that the mod doesn’t offer the lively version of the Mario Kart Tracks. However, it’s still amusing to know that a Nintendo Classic somehow slithered its way to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
