Microsoft Flight Simulator assembled fresh, full-coverage aerial imagery, digital elevation data and more from our partners at Bing Maps and Maxar to create this update. World Update XIV includes 103 points of interest (POIs): 18 in Czechia, 15 in Slovakia, 19 in Hungary, 15 in Slovenia, 23 in Croatia, and 13 in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Castles, towers, and churches, among other sights, all brilliantly reproduced and awaiting discovery from the air in this update. Microsoft Flight Simulator partnered with Gaya Simulations, to create six bespoke airports: Karlovy Vary Airport (LKKV) in Czechia, Poprad-Tatry Airport (LZTT) in Slovakia, Pécs-Pogány Airport (LHPP) in Hungary, Zagorje ob Savi Airport (LJZA) in Slovenia, Rijeka International Airport (LDRI) in Croatia, and Prijedor Urije Airport (LQPD) in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Microsoft Maps & Local, in collaboration with Vexcel, created 10 cities throughout the region: Prague, Brno, and Plzeň in Czechia; Budapest in Hungary; Ljubljana and Maribor in Slovenia; Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia; and Sarajevo and Banja Luka in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Simmers will be amazed by the endless opportunities of exploration found throughout these urban regions in World Update XIV, all of them reproduced in stunning photorealistic quality.

Rounding out this latest release, Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update XIV includes three discovery flights: Prague in the Czechia, Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Budapest in Hungary. It also features three landing challenges: Croatia’s Kastela (LDSP) in an Airbus A320neo, Slovenia’s Vzletišče Zagorje Ob Savi (LJZA) in a Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter, and Slovakia’s Poprad-Tatry (LZTT) in an Airbus A310-300. The update also includes four incredible bush trips: “Czech Route,” “Northeast Adriatic,” “Danube Journey,” and “Carpathian Journey.”

Is there the typical list of photogrammetry cities, POI's, airports etc anywhere? MS provides a video and paragraphs of places included in the update, but I miss the old lists since they listed all the POI's. Without the POI list it may be impossible to find them all.

What's happening during the download of the update when the status bar and counter retreat to a lower value? It occured several times for me.

The dreaded download loop... Shut down the sim, then open your Official\Onestore or Official\Steam folder, find and delete anything that's not a folder. Sometimes these compressed files get corrupted and can't be unpacked, and the sim doesn't know how to handle it.

Jayne usually does those and she is on vacation this week I think, so no list as of right now.

I was successful d/l ing the update in about 25 min. The community folder was empty and there were no individual files in the Official/Onestore folder. Perhaps errors were detected in the d/l and needed to go back to fix them??????

Thanks for the POI list coming later.
Nine locations were shown in the video. I was successful using the location search for 3 of them but not the others. Those found were Konopiste castle, Hruboskalsko and Pilgrimmage church of St John of Nefomuk.
