As Arthur Clarke wrote in the last of his three famous laws of the same name: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Following the British author’s thinking, we dare to say that even the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator can be made largely of magic, that this will be the only way to explain the sense of wonder that basically characterizes every flashback. Microsoft simulator and Asobo Studio.
Even after recently Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update for Italy and MaltaWhere our peninsula has been completely overhauled, made more precise, detailed and real than before.
A unique nation in the world
That’s not shortsighted: Italy truly is an incredible place. Although the whole world is at your disposal, flying over Naples and not seeing the rise of Anacapri, you realize yourself still touching the crested arms of the Alps, the trees of the Valle delle Ferriere; and then the Islands, mysterious Sardinia and its extraterrestrial paradise, Sicily with its unpredictable winds. The biggest update ever, according to the developers themselves, this latest World Update wraps the country with an added layer of reliability, enriching it with countless details and expanding photogrammetry far beyond the limits we expected.
Cities reproduced with this technology are much more: Added Torino, Bari, Perugia, Parma, Ancona, Pavia, available since the game’s release in Rome, Bologna, Catania, Florence, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Venice and Verona, Cittadella, Paestum and Padua. There photogrammetry Rome, Milan, Naples, and Venice were instead overhauled and expanded far beyond what we expected, prior to the World Update this was concentrated only in historical centers, leaving the surrounding neighborhoods in the hands of machine learning. Rome’s photogrammetry now stretches for miles in all directions after the ring road and includes the Castelli district and part of the coast.
Airports and attractions
On the other hand, over a hundred Italian airports four of which the data was updated and created manually and with 1:1 detail, namely Palermo, Sondrio, Marina di Campo and Bolzano airport. Also included in the World Update are Allianz Stadium to Celano Castle, Modena Cathedral to Afragola station, Sardinian Nuraghe to Stelvio Pass, Capo Caccia lighthouse to Piazza dei Miracoli. Including the Leaning Tower of Pisa, of course. The package also includes three Shrub Excursions dedicated to Sardinia, Sicily and the Apennines; Three landing challenges in Reggio Calabria, Falcone Borsellino airport and Genoa Setri; and finally three reconnaissance flights to Venice, Rome and Florence.
Alps and Apennines
All the details that lovers of high altitude flights will hardly notice, but for them the experience will change when they see the wild extremes of flying. Alps, finally as hard as it really is, and no longer softened by the ingenuity of a software and the movement of the foundational ground that sways, rises and falls through more precise and up-to-date data. As always, ten and more realism concerts available for download from the in-game store.
A world full of details
With this Ninth World UpdateMicrosoft Flight Simulator has nearly doubled an already unattainable graphic detail, allowing for flights of at times unsettling realism. By the way, thanks to the updates to the simulation part, the flight experience has also been significantly improved, although the control of IFR flights still leaves much to be desired, although much more precise than it was originally. However, we regret to inform you that after all this time and an increasingly efficient optimization, the game is still too unstable and is constantly threatened with possible crashes. Nothing that can demoralize those who love flight simulations, or simply the breathtaking beauty of our planet.
Turning point
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a series that has gone down in video game history, but this new version is a true landmark. Of course, it would be even better if there was a managerial aspect behind it, a system that offers a purpose even to those who cannot even imagine it on its own, we would be really close to perfection. But the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator has already fulfilled many dreams and that doesn’t mean it can’t make it come true in the future…
