Microsoft Flight Simulator's Central Eastern Europe Content Update Out Now

[T0@st]

Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update XIV: Central Eastern Europe captures the majesty, charm and allure of Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The region bristles with history, architectural wonders, and stunning scenery. The Central Eastern Europe countries beckon exploration from above with never-before-seen fidelity.

Microsoft Flight Simulator assembled fresh, full-coverage aerial imagery, digital elevation data and more from our partners at Bing Maps and Maxar to create this update. World Update XIV includes 103 points of interest (POIs): 18 in Czechia, 15 in Slovakia, 19 in Hungary, 15 in Slovenia, 23 in Croatia, and 13 in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Castles, towers, and churches, among other sights, all brilliantly reproduced and awaiting discovery from the air in this update.




Microsoft Flight Simulator partnered with Gaya Simulations, to create six bespoke airports: Karlovy Vary Airport (LKKV) in Czechia, Poprad-Tatry Airport (LZTT) in Slovakia, Pécs-Pogány Airport (LHPP) in Hungary, Zagorje ob Savi Airport (LJZA) in Slovenia, Rijeka International Airport (LDRI) in Croatia, and Prijedor Urije Airport (LQPD) in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Microsoft Maps & Local, in collaboration with Vexcel, created 10 cities throughout the region: Prague, Brno, and Plzeň in Czechia; Budapest in Hungary; Ljubljana and Maribor in Slovenia; Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia; and Sarajevo and Banja Luka in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Simmers will be amazed by the endless opportunities of exploration found throughout these urban regions in World Update XIV, all of them reproduced in stunning photorealistic quality.

Rounding out this latest release, Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update XIV includes three discovery flights: Prague in the Czechia, Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Budapest in Hungary. It also features three landing challenges: Croatia's Kastela (LDSP) in an Airbus A320neo, Slovenia's Vzletišče Zagorje Ob Savi (LJZA) in a Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter, and Slovakia's Poprad-Tatry (LZTT) in an Airbus A310-300. The update also includes four incredible bush trips: "Czech Route," "Northeast Adriatic," "Danube Journey," and "Carpathian Journey."

Is it just me or do these screenshots look notably more cartoony than previous pictures from Flight Simulator?

Everything going forward with this simulation, is all an effort to get you disgusted with its current state, like as if that was hard, and to push you towards wanting the 2024 edition when it comes out. I don't even understand why this article is released for a piece of software that forces you to download it anyway.

To bring new attention to a game that you might have forgotten about otherwise. It certainly makes me want to try it out now.

Sounds like an A.I. driven response. Bing? Is that you?

If you think being born in Hungary, living in the UK and being interested in trying a flight sim between these two countries is AI-generated, then think again, please.

My point is that I would have never known about this update without this article on it. I don't run through my Steam library looking for news every day, but I do read TPU.
