Thanks to the new World Update, you can stop pining for the fjords
Another ‘World Update’ has landed inMicrosoft Flight Simulator, this time focused on improving the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Along with updating the landscape with more detail, the update brings detailed models for landmarks ranging from bridges and wind farms to stadiums and… Lego House? Is this a real thing? This is a real thing! Check out that blocky building and more in the trailer below.

World Updates improve areas in a number of ways. On the lowest level (literally), they update the landscape with better detail. Then they brush up what’s upon the land, with new models for many bridges, airports, parks, rocks, sculptures, churches, towers, stadiums, a wind farm, lakes, and other landmarks. TheLego House in Denmarkis what first caught my eye, but I do like thatArctic Cathedral in Norway. Plus you have five new bush trips to showcase the landscape and five new landing challenges (one for each country).
The update launched last night. Hit the in-game Marketplace to download it for free.The patch noteslist all the custom-made points of interest in the Nordics, as well detailing other changes.
During their E3 showcase at the weekend, Microsoft announceda free Top Gun expansion for Flight Sim. I probably wouldn’t expect that to add combat, but I would hope it’ll have some tower-buzzing challenges and high-speed manoeuvres. It’s due to launch on November 19th, same day as the new Top Gun movie.
