World Update XV: Nordics & Greenland also brings simmers ten exciting activities that will inspire and challenge. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft partners like Bing Maps, Vexcel, Maxar, Gaya Simulations, Orbx, and Kjetil Garpestad, it incorporates updated satellite imagery, enhanced digital elevation models, and includes ten TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) cities, further improving the authenticity and immersion of the flight simulation experience.
