And it looks stunning, with 11 cities given a high-quality makeover and a number of iconic landmarks looking better than ever. With Microsoft Flight Simulator available on PC and Xbox consoles the beautiful sim has received a number of World Updates since launch. And yeah, with the latest one covering just about all of Australia -- it's something worth celebrating.

And best of all its free, and available now. Here's the trailer for World Update VII: Australia.

Soar over the renowned Great Barrier Reef, visit the vast regions of Western Australia, and marvel at the natural beauty of Mount Wellington. From the dusty red outback to shimmering coastlines and sugar white sand beaches, explore the country’s most spectacular sights.

A country known for being as diverse as it is beautiful, this great Southern land presents a bucket list of jaw-dropping natural formations and modern man-made wonders – now enhanced with exceptional graphic improvements.

To help bring Australia to life the team at Asobo collaborated with the Melbourne-based Orbx Simulation Systems for the creation of four hand-crafted airports and 94 custom crafted points of interest (POIs). This is the biggest World Update so far too, with the 11 cities covering - Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Cairns, Darwin, Townsville, Bunbury, and Mackay.
