The Overview Effect in MSFS 2020 VR

Hello, I was simming in MSFS 2020 the other day in VR. During my cruise part of the flight decided to go into drone mode and fly around the area in the drone while my plane was on autopilot. The drone camera can get around much quicker than a plane so I was able to fly around mountains, through clouds and climb to incredible altitudes in a matter of seconds. I felt like Superman. Then I had this feeling of awe seeing the world like a miniature delicate model at my fingertips; Like a god looking down to see what was going on.

I realize this was an example of the overview effect. Like when astronauts see the earth from space. Has anyone else had this feeling in VR? It may not be as good as the real thing but it was an experience nonetheless.
