I can't believe 1982 was 40 years ago
I was a Junior in college! Programming in PL/1
And how much did Microsoft pay he? There is a old comic (some years ago) about "paid exposure" of Oatmeal: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/exposure
Strange that Microsoft used OP's project in their game, but didn't bother to let him know.
Yes, I was not informed about it. But I think that's fair. I didn't ask them either before I published the project. Please, don't make it a license issue. I developed it for fun.

Unfortunately, all things must become a license issue if licenses are to be taken seriously. License compliance is a binary condition, you either comply completely or fail.

What about "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."?
Most likely, it is included in some kind of ThirdPartyNotices.txt that ships with the game. It's actually pretty hard to sneak third party F/OSS under the radar in the company of this size - there's automated code scanners, among other things, and while they can't catch everything, they sure can flag a copy of a public project on GitHub.

Microsoft is not the developer here, it has been outsourced to a game studio : https://www.asobostudio.com/games/microsoft-flight-simulator But the remark still stand, and I hope OP has been correctly credited for it.

What's an example of tool that scans binaries for matches with open source software?

Strange that Microsoft's contractor used OP's project in their game, but didn't bother to let him know.
