World Update 19 includes 75 Points of Interest (POIs) across the four regions, highlighting iconic sites such as the Christ the Redeemer statue, Fort Zeelandia, Fort Diamant, and Monte Roraima. Additionally, four major Brazilian cities—Brasilia, Ouro Preto, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo—have been intricately detailed. Seven handcrafted airports have been developed by Gaya Simulations, encompassing locations in Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
The included airports are as follows: Santarem-Maestro Wilson Fonseca International Airport (SBSN), Foz do Iguacu International Airport (SBFI), Fernando de Noronha Airport (SBFN), Santos Dumont (SBRJ), Kaieteur International Airport (SYKA/PKSA), Zorg en Hoop Airport (SMZO), and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport (SOOM). Furthermore, the update introduces three Discovery Flights, three Landing Challenges, and three Bush Trips exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 users. Beginning March 17th, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will offer additional Brazil-themed content.
Moreover, Microsoft Flight Simulator has unveiled its latest Local Legend aircraft, the CAP-4 Paulistinha. This light aircraft, developed in the 1940s by Companhia Aeronáutica Paulista, was primarily designed as a flight training vehicle, bearing similarities to the American Piper Cub. The CAP-4 is equipped with a Franklin 4AC 4-cylinder piston engine that provides up to 65 horsepower, achieving a range of 310 miles and a cruising speed of 87 MPH.
Developed in collaboration with iniBuilds, the CAP-4 Paulistinha features six liveries: N505, PP-HCP, PP-HIY, PP-HLJ, PP-TJR, and PT-ZGA. This aircraft is available at no cost to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 users as compensation for past issues. Additionally, owners of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 can purchase the aircraft for $14.99 from the MSFS Marketplace.
In summary, World Update 19 enhances Microsoft Flight Simulator with a wealth of new content focused on Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, presenting key landmarks and detailed cities. The addition of handcrafted airports and various challenges enriches the user experience. Moreover, the introduction of the CAP-4 Paulistinha aircraft provides players with a unique flying experience, showcasing a historical Brazilian aircraft. This update symbolizes Microsoft’s commitment to continually improving and expanding the simulator’s offerings.
