Flight Simulator’s latest World Update is now here, bringing another stunning spruce-up to portions of its digital globe, this time focusing on Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, and Andorra.
This latest addition marks Flight Simulator’s eighth World Update since launch – and follow similar makeovers for Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States – and includes new elevation data and aerial imagery for its regions of focus.
Additionally, six cities have received the photogrammetry treatment – Barreiro, Bilbao, Cascais, Coimbra, Lisbon, and Malaga – and there are four new handcrafted airports in the form of La Seu d’Urgell Airport (LESU), Pico (LPPI), Faro (LPFR), and A Coruna (LECO), plus the addition of 1,000 previously missing airport locations as detailed elsewhere.
