Not bad is not it ?
What’s new for Microsoft Flight Simulator?

This brings improvements to Polynesia (Hawaii and Easter Island), Melanesia (Fiji, New Caledonia, New Guinea, Indonesian West Papua and the Solomon Islands), the Galapagos Islands and parts of Antarctica., including the Antarctic Peninsula.

Because Microsoft wants to do things right Microsoft Flight Simulator also take advantage of 5 new discovery flights to tour these new regions. The goal is not so much to teach you how to drive but rather to give a fairly complete overview of the new features. Needless to say that the set is completely free for our greatest pleasure.
