Microsoft say they’ve revamped 20 cities in Italy and Malta using “digital elevation modeling, aerial and satellite imagery, and triangulated irregular network (TIN) modeling”. They’ve also worked on zhuzhing the coastline (that’s the official, technical term, you know), which is a pretty major attraction of Italy and Malta. The update incorporates an airbus-load of new points of interest too, from the Pantheon to Saint Mark’s Basilica and Vatican City. Wave to the Pope everyone.

The Italian world update is free so you can take off and start flying over Turin and Venice whenever you like, as long as you’re patched up to version 1.25.9.0. Check the Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.25.9.0release notesfor full details about everything that’s changed in the update.
