Britain gets a little greater in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator’s third major update has released, which introduces major changes to the terrain of the UK and Ireland, and it comes with the above trailer, which I find oddly stirring. Maybe it’s because we’ve all been stuck indoors for a year, but a reminder of the scale and beauty of the UK and Ireland from the skies… it’s just the ticket right now.

“Take flight into a region rich with tradition, culture and heritage—not to mention a fair share of myth and legend,” writes Jorg Neumann, head of Microsoft Flight Simulator. “From seats of royalty to centers of finance, bustling metropolitan hubs to sprawling farmsteads and cliffside villages, the splendor of the United Kingdom and Ireland is on full display with dramatic upgrades and visual enhancements.”
