Canada is filled with a plethora of sights to explore from the air: magnificent urban architecture, wave-battered northern coastlines, and vast sweeps of tundra, glaciers and towering peaks. Microsoft Flight Simulator’s World Update XI invites simmers to explore this massive, diverse country, presented in the highest resolution and fidelity yet!

In creating World Update XI: Canada, the Microsoft Flight Simulator team processed troves of its latest geospatial data, including digital elevation models, satellite imagery, and aerial photography. Complementing the data, models and imagery, the update highlights 12 urban regions enhanced with the latest photogrammetry data and features 87 hand-crafted points of interest.

World Update XI features:

• 5 handcrafted five airports including:
  • British Columbia’s Castlegar / West Kootenay Regional Airport (CYCG)

  • Vancouver Island
• 9 exciting missions:
• Three bush trips (Vancouver Island, Newfoundland, and the Canadian Rockies)
• Three landing challenges (Castlegar, Barkerville, and Calgary)
• Three discovery flights (Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto).
