Developer Asobo’s Flight Simulator is, as even the swiftest glance in its direction will confirm, a staggeringly beautiful game, but it’s not always the best at capturing the finer details; that’s where its semi-regular World Updates come in, and its latest, available now, gives the vast sprawl of the United States a much-need upgrade.<\/p>\n

Fly over Manhattan or Disney World and it might feel like Flight Simulator’s rendition of the US is plenty detailed enough already; head out to admire the country’s countless geological wonders, though, from the staggering depths of the Grand Canyon to the iconic majesty of Monument Valley, and the illusion can start to fall apart rather dramatically thanks to the somewhat woolly satellite and elevation data used to generate the Earth in the launch game.<\/p>\n

Enter Asobo’s second World Update, which follows on from its gorgeous overhaul of Japan back in September<\/a>, introducing a significant number of welcome improvements to the United States’ multitudinous geological and man-made landmarks, turning an already beautiful game into an even more breathtaking one, if at all possible.<\/p>\n
