Asobo Studios have once again released a major update for Microsoft Flight Simulator, this time with World Update V (5), which takes users to the Nordics of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

“Simmers can take to the northern European sky and explore vast fjords, intriguing urban vistas, domineering peaks, and centuries-old castles from within the cockpit.” Included within the update are various exciting features, such as improved data for 100 airports, 77 new POI’s (point of interest), and five bush trips, with one for each country. As well, five new landing challenges have been included across the various custom airports (Denmark’s Bornholm, Iceland’s Ísafjörður, Sweden’s Stockholm Arlanda, Norway’s Svalbard, and Finland’s Vaasa).

The shortened list of the release notes is available below. For the full list (which includes all the new POI’s and improved airport data), head over to the Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums.
