The Microsoft Flight Simulator team has just released a brand new development update. This update includes the first World Update to Japan, SDK updates, information regarding 3rd party developers, marketplace updates, and finally, feedback snapshots.

Japan is such an incredible area to view, and a very diverse country. In today’s update they have announced that the Bing Maps team delivered 6 amazing photogrammetry cities, and an all new map that highly increases the detail all around Japan.

Asobo and Gaya Simulations both created 3 airports each. Gaya Simulations ended up making RJFU – Negasaki, RJTH – Hachijojima, and RJCK – Kushiro, as well as 20 new POIs. Asobo developed ROKR – Kerama, RORS – Shimojisjima, and RJX8 – Suwanosejima. Asobo also ended up adding three new landing challenges to the area to make this new DLC that much better.

The MSFS team stated that this is just the beginning, as we continue through this year and into the future we can expect more World Updates, and paid DLC’s. We can also expect simulation updates every 2-3 months.
