As the developers have stated, the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator in August was just the beginning. Their goal is to provide players with a fantastic game update every month, and the World Update series has officially begun, aiming to highlight specific countries worldwide. The first major update of Microsoft Flight Simulator, centered around Japan, has just been released for free.
Japan, a nation rich in tradition blending with future innovations, presents a picturesque landscape where old meets new, rural meets urban, mountains, forests, cities, and coastlines - now enhanced with remarkable graphical improvements spanning the chain of volcanic islands.
World Update I: Japan brings high-resolution city-wide maps, utilizing 3D photogrammetry techniques for 6 prominent cities in Japan (Sendai, Takamatsu, Tokushima, Tokyo, Utsunomiya, and Yokohama), and 6 meticulously hand-crafted airports (Hachijojima, Kerama, Kushiro, Nagasaki, Shimojishima, and Suwanosejima). Developers have also introduced a new temple architecture style, nearly two dozen landmarks, and favorite destinations to welcome exploration enthusiasts to timeless world heritage sites, skyscrapers, iconic bridges, and sacred temples.
To add more excitement, this content update also includes a trio of engaging landing challenges set at Japanese airports, offering new opportunities for pilots to overcome obstacles in the environment and improve their flying skills.
