I remember when Buckingham Palace was automatically modelled in the sim as an office block 😂 this is such a huge leap forward, well done!

[@Calcearius]

Looked like a block of council flats to me which I thought was hilarious.

Hats off to your composer. They really captured the spirit.

wish they did new music, this is the exact same track from the world update 3 trailer.

Loving seeing Dublin like that... UPDATING AS WE SPEAK !

[@magzire]

would it be better than Orbx - Landmarks Dublin City Pack?

The Cliffs of Moher (just down the road) have gone from pure muck to a delight for the eyes :)

[@NickStaib]

I just flew over London at 1,000ft and its absolutely breath-taking. I live in London and even our block of flats out in SW15 reminded me of a drone shot. Bravo guys.

[@lordraven2264]

I can see my house from here! lol, awesome.

[@ballsackgameing]

Nice, I'm in N14 - its only central right?

[@worldaviation4k]

i flew over canary wharf and it looked like an FS95 brown building, had the shard though but no hsbc etc. just blocks

[@perspii2808]

The cities look phenomenal. It’s so surreal seeing Leeds in a video game

Nice to see that Barry/Cardiff/Newport City has has its LONG overdue makeover with the photogrametry! LOVE it!

[@geoffos42]

Wow! Shocked to see the Maunsell Forts!

[@petemk73]

I used to holiday in Leysdown every year as a child and could always see them off in the distance, but always wondered what they were.

[@DigitalDiabloUK]

I can't waiting to see if the old parochial house is there, Ted.

[@triforcegamerz7150]

Absolutely fantastic. Can’t wait to fly there. Thanks team!!❤

Finally EGLL approaches will be fun from all directions with good sceneries

Great to finally see the Severn bridge (prince of wales bridge)

[@lordraven2264]

Great to see more Ireland updates

[@raywalsh5414]

Very nice....keep up the great work (from Ireland !)

[@brunocydonia]

I couldn't find Buckingham Palace before in the game but now it's here. Awesome!

[@mesillahills]

Perhaps the best trailer ever produced for MSFS. What is coming at us in the next six months alone is insane. And the new Pimax "Crystal Super" VR headset is only going to magnify it. It is nearly human eyesight quality. As a MSFS2020 user in VR, I think the best part of the sim is the general terrain. And I think MS thinks that too. It ties everything together. I see why they are doing what they are doing in that regard. What we see here is special.

[@philipmanwaring2223]

Absolutely breathtaking. Fantastic work!

[@Cartoonman154]

They finally recognise there are other places outside London.

[@ballsackgameing]

except for the fact that any game with a uk map always excludes London... excl. WD Legion

[@gdwnet]

Now we just need westminster to recognise that :D

[@pieterduplessis6906]

funny. all but 2 world updates have been for outside Londan (and england) for that matter

My house now looks like my house. Fly Scotland, it was the best place to fly before the update. Now it's astonishing. Awesome work.

[@geordietyne]

Finally the Toon!

[@pauldavis8242]

Fantastic update! So glad to see so many iconic locations. Regarding the title of the update, not to be ‘that guy’ but I will point out that the Isle of Man is not part of the UK 😅 maybe “British Isles” would have been a better title?

[@optimised120]

Wow Inverness castle in the trailer! Very nice.

[@LostInDistance]

Interested to see Menai bridge in Wales. That’s currently under construction as its foundation is falling apart. 😅 It’s the next bridge over from the Britannia bridge in this trailer.

[@T_Dubbs]

Brighton looks amazing!

[@F1geek-w4z]

Could they not do HMS Belfast? They've put super yatchs or cruise ships in its location.

[@Dragoneer]

I appreciate some love for Northern Ireland, it’s normally forgotten about

[@kieranminihane8355]

Ouse Valley Viaduct! 1:57 this place is so cool in real life and absolutely worth visiting, if you sit inbetween the arches under the bridge it creates an insane optical illusion!

[@adamthejester]

I really hope the legendary, fantastic, amazing Preston bus station is modelled in this detail

[@MrsPuggyWggyHaASquareCutPunt]

I were proper buzzin' to see Leeds, and when I did, I nearly teared up 😭. It were beautiful ☺. Then LONDON came up, and I jumped out me seat with joy 🤗🤗🤗🤗. Ain't felt like that since the last seconds of England vs. Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semifinal.

@@coard123 i have there probably most tight region, there really many things installed in my case. can not say about all uk and irealand, but as mentioned above london 0 problems. very smooth and no visual conflict i could notice. p.s. days really cool for simers, flytampa updated las vegas for remove visual conflict after ms city update there. may be washington dc will updated by dd too. there i found only some performance problem after update.
