Since the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Asobo Studios has had a lot of work to do. First, they are working on adapting the game to Xbox consoles, which is going to be hard work. On the other hand, they have worked to support technologies that promote the simulation experience, such as Virtual Reality. And in addition, there is the improvement work, where the new Microsoft Flight Simulator update has a release date.
Little by little, complete regions of Microsoft Flight Simulator have been improved, including new points of interest to fly over in this fabulous simulator. They better-recreated regions like Japan or the United States, and continue to track areas of the map to improve some impurities and add much more detail.
The new Microsoft Flight Simulator update has a release date, more specifically it will be made available to virtual pilots between February 9 and 11. This date has come up as an answer in a round of questions from the community and will focus on the UK. Up to 70 points of interest, five airports and five cities recreated thanks to photogrammetry would have been added. With this, a region as simple as the British Isles will be greatly improved.
The director of the game, Jorg Neumann, has shared this direct with the community to talk openly about what this project means for them. The truth is that this update was expected to arrive in January, but finally, it has had to be postponed slightly because they have wanted to add more content and the circumstances do not help to be in a hurry. Not only has it been sought to expose that the new Microsoft Flight Simulator update has a release date, it has also pointed to the next step.
Much of the direction of the progress of these updates comes from the requests of the community and it seems that in the next update they could focus on improving the region of France and Benelux, in which we could also find other countries such as Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. This update is expected to arrive in March, but right now there is no reason to set a date. Among the questions for the future that they wanted to answer, we find other aspects of interest to the community, such as more free content that is complemented by a large amount of paid content that comes from third parties.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available on PC, included in the Xbox Game Pass service. It is expected that in the coming weeks more information can be given on the console version, which is expected to arrive next summer on Xbox Series X/S consoles. At least, for now, it is only confirmed for the next-gen, although from Asobo they do not want to lose hope of being able to launch it on Xbox One consoles.
