Microsoft Flight Simulator has unveiled World Update 19, featuring enhancements to Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. This complimentary update offers Microsoft Flight Simulator users breathtaking natural vistas, reimagined cities, and iconic landmarks. Collaborating with Bing Maps, Maxar, and Vexcel, the Microsoft Flight Simulator team integrated extensive geospatial data and imagery to ensure an authentic representation in the simulator.
World Update 19 introduces 75 points of interest (POIs) across the regions, including notable sites such as the Christ the Redeemer statue and Fort Zeelandia. Additionally, it showcases four vibrant cities in Brazil: Brasilia, Ouro Preto, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. The update features seven meticulously recreated airports developed by Gaya Simulations, enhancing the flying experience within these locales.
The included airports are Santarem-Maestro Wilson Fonseca International Airport (SBSN), Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (SBFI), Fernando de Noronha Airport (SBFN), Santos Dumont (SBRJ) in Brazil, Kaieteur International Airport (SYKA/PKSA) in Guyana, Zorg en Hoop Airport (SMZO) in Suriname, and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport (SOOM) in French Guiana. Players can further explore the experience through three Discovery Flights, three Landing Challenges, and three Bush Trips, exclusively available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 owners.
Looking ahead, starting on March 17, 2024, Microsoft Flight Simulator will introduce additional Brazil-based content, including a helicopter challenge. Players can download World Update 19 for free via the MSFS Marketplace.
Furthermore, Microsoft Flight Simulator has launched its latest Local Legend aircraft, the CAP-4 Paulistinha, a Brazilian light aircraft first developed in the 1940s. This trainer aircraft, akin to the American Piper Cub, operates with a Franklin 4AC 4-cylinder piston engine and delivers 65 horsepower, cruising at 87 MPH with a service ceiling of 13,000 feet. Collaborating with iniBuilds, the CAP-4 Paulistinha, available in various liveries, is free for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 users as a gesture of goodwill for past issues. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 users may purchase this aircraft for $14.99 from the MSFS Marketplace.
In summary, the World Update 19 for Microsoft Flight Simulator enhances the flight simulation experience in Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, with numerous new points of interest and airports. Additionally, the introduction of the CAP-4 Paulistinha aircraft underscores Microsoft’s commitment to providing engaging content for users. The update is now available for download at no cost, further enriching the simulator’s offerings.
