Seit September 2020 wird der Microsoft Flight Simulator kontinuierlich verbessert und mit spannenden Updates versorgt. Ab sofort fliegst Du im World Update III in das Vereinigte Königreich und nach Irland. Der Inselstaat beeindruckt durch handgefertigte Landschaften, neue Flughäfen sowie aufregende Aktivitäten.
Nördlich von Europa gelegen, beeindrucken das Vereinigte Königreich und Irland mit Tradition, Kultur und dem historischen Erbe der lang andauernden Geschichte. Die Luft ist reich an Mythen und Legenden. Dank der visuellen Verbesserungen kommt die Pracht der königlichen Sitze, der Finanzzentren, der Bauernhöfe und Dörfer an den steilen Klippen der Insel voll zur Geltung
World Update III: United Kingdom und Irland bietet hochauflösende 3D-Fotogrammetrie für die berühmten Städte Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, London und Oxford. Die Flughäfen von Barra, Liverpool, Land’s End, Manchester-Barton und Out Skerries sind neu mit dabei – 85 weitere Flughäfen erfahren optische Überarbeitungen. In ganz Großbritannien findest Du verbesserte digitale Höheninformationen.
Die gesamte Region strotzt vor neuen architektonischen Elementen, von britischen Herrenhäusern und viktorianischen Gebäuden bis hin zu Steinbauten auf dem Land, Schlössern und Kirchen – und sogar einige Drive-Throu-Restaurants. Du entdeckst 70 detailgetreue Wahrzeichen und Sehenswürdigkeiten, darunter königliche Paläste, atemberaubende Kathedralen und Fußballstadien.
Außerdem enthält das Update ein Trio neuer Aktivitäten: einen ikonischen Flug auf den nördlichen Inseln und zwei verschiedene Lande-Herausforderungen – eine epische im Norden auf den Shetland-Inseln und eine wilde im turbulenten Himmel über Südost-England.
