Flight Simulator has only just released its latest World Update, this one giving the USA’s most iconic landscapes some much-needed attention, but already developer Asobo is talking about its next round of planetary enhancements, confirming it’ll be upgrading the UK in January.
In a similar fashion to earlier geographical spruce-ups for the USA and Japan, Asobo’s third World Update will aim to create a more accurate rendition of the UK using “awesome” new data and aerial images for England, Scotland and Wales, and with a host of new landmarks.
In total, as revealed in Asobo’s latest livestream, the studio is aiming to introduce 50-60 new points of interest, new procedural buildings (including churches), and improvements for a range of existing airports, such as Land’s End, Liverpool EGGP, and Manchester Barton. Additionally, players can expect to see new landing challenges and a new flight.

And in case you’re wondering about Northern Ireland, Asobo says it’s currently trying hard to assemble everything needed to improve its digital recreation – and indeed that of Ireland as a whole – although it’s not clear if that will be ready for World Update 3.
