Flight Simulator adds detail across Poland and the Baltics

Four countries receive a closer look

Microsoft released World Update 23 on October 26, covering Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The free regional download adds twelve detailed areas, seventy-seven landmarks and five handcrafted airports, alongside activities for Flight Simulator 2020 and Flight Simulator 2024. Its city selection includes Tallinn, Riga, Kaunas and Vilnius as well as Polish destinations. Microsoft worked with Bing Places, Asobo and Gaya on the update, and instructs owners to update their simulator before installing the scenery.

Turn new scenery into a flight plan

Flight Simulator 2024's official overview describes several ways to explore its world beyond simply travelling between major airports. Photography activities encourage visiting landmarks, while precision landings and other challenges give a short flight a defined objective. Its flight planner supports both instrument and visual navigation, with information for routes, airports, weather and fuel planning.

Those tools provide context for a regional scenery release. A player can plan a compact sightseeing flight, use a challenge as a starting point, or build a longer route between familiar locations. The choice depends on the aircraft and the kind of session they want, rather than on completing every destination in one visit. The planning tools can help turn that choice into a route with a manageable destination and a clear objective.
