Microsoft’s Flight Simulator just rolled out a World Update. It gave USA’s best landmarks great deal of attention to detail. But developer Asobo is not stopping there and already has plans for the next World Update.

Asobo announced in a Twitch stream recently about their plans for the next update. Great Britain is on the list next and they plan to release it by January. The studio said they have data for Wales, England and Scotland. Despite the fact that the update says ‘United Kingdom’, they do not have data for Northern Ireland. Nevertheless, Jorg Neumann revealed the Ireland plans later.

“We have a completely new set of aerials. Thank you, Bing, it’s really cool. We are trying hard to get data for at least Northern Ireland, but we might as well do all of Ireland. We’re working on this. I hope to have an update there.”
