Flight Simulator's third World Update – which points its wand of finessing at the UK and Ireland – is finally here after a bit of a delay, and you'll be precisely the opposite of shocked to learn it looks absolutely breathtaking in its launch trailer.
World Update 3 – which follows equally stunning makeovers for the United States and Japan – introduces improved aerial and elevation data for the UK and Ireland, "over 70" new points of interest, five new hand-crafted airports – Barra, Land's End, Liverpool, Manchester-Barton, and Out Skerries – plus five brand-new photogrammetry cities.
The latter bring more accurate versions of Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford, and London into the sim, and while that may be a disappointingly England-centric selection, developer Asobo thankfully hasn't completely forgotten about the rest of the UK and Ireland. As you'll see in its launch trailer below, World Update 3 also includes an impressive selection of hand-crafted landmarks from all across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
