Fly into the skies of France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg in the latest update to Microsoft Flight Simulator with World Update IV. The patch is now available and we have the full list of POI’s that you can visit as well as a shiny new trailer to enjoy while you wait for the download. Let’s have a look!
The heart of western Europe
Western Europe already looked pretty good when I did my last couple of flights in the area so I’m excited to see what Asobo Studios has prepared for this latest World Update. A long list of points of interest, enhanced imagery, photogrammetry for Paris and Amsterdam and visual updates for over 100 airports (including 3 that receive the high quality hand crafted treatment).
In the heart of Western Europe, embrace the spirit of another age intermingled with modern influences and sensibilities as you explore a wealth of sights on display — from seaside communities to urban centers, idyllic vineyards to epic mountain ranges and world-famous resort towns — all of which now feature stunning upgrades and visual enhancements.
Also worth mentioning that the update adds some additional points of interest in places like Saint Pierre off the coast of Newfoundland and in French Guiana on the north eastern side of South America.
