[h2][b]WORLD UPDATE II: USA[/b][/h2]
The world in Microsoft Flight Simulator is getting another major update, this time across the United States of America.
With a motto of "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of Many, One"), the United States of America is truly a vast collection of diverse territories, from coastal communities to colossal ranges, verdant plains to metropolitan skylines -- and now it's getting upgraded with visual enhancements throughout the land.
World Update II: USA features an improved digital elevation model with resolution up to one meter, along with new aerial textures for significantly better appearance in several states across the country. Add to that, four new hand-crafted airports (Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Friday Harbor, and New York Stewart), visual and logical improvements to 48 more airports, plus 50 new high-fidelity POIs, and your state-side journey is sure to be stunning.
If that wasn't enough, this update also includes a Discovery Flight through some of the most iconic locations on the country's eastern seaboard, and an epic new Bush Trip across the Alaskan wilderness.
World Update II: USA is available FREE to all Microsoft Flight Simulator users, so be sure your simulator is up to date first. Once MSFS is updated, visit the Marketplace to download the USA content bundle and enjoy the majesty on display in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
