An ambitious modder is building an audio tour of the entire virtual world - inside Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Bushtalk Radio is a community-driven project that adds audio descriptions to over 8,000 points of interest in the sim. These audio descriptions are played automatically as you arrive at one of the supported POI's.
Bushtalk Radio has evolved significantly over time. Rather than indexing every mundane Wikipedia article, Patrick and co decided to let users curate and submit their own POI's. Users provide a location and a script and the mod team converts it to audio, which is then played to anyone flying near it.
Patrick says submissions have grown "exponentially", and there are even volunteers who help with the review process.
