Today Microsoft announced a release date for the next free World Update coming to its popular sim Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The World Update features the Nordic countries, and precisely Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, & Iceland.
It includes plenty of points of interest and several handcrafted airports, EKRN Bornholm Airport, BIIS Ísafjörður Airport, ENSB Svalbard Airport, ESSA Stockholm Arlanda Airport, and EFVA Vaasa Airport.
