The Microsoft airplane game Flight Simulator has been upgraded to include every airport in the world. This means gamers will have a choice of over 37,000 airports to take off from and land at. The upgrade has added over 13,000 new airports to the previous version of the game, which included 24,000 airports. The game includes international hubs like New York's JFK and London Heathrow. It also includes tiny airports like rural, grassy landing strips and runways that are in the middle of deserts or on the top of mountains. The 37,000 airports in Flight Simulator have been manually designed to look like the real airports. Designers used satellite images and Bing Maps to do this.
The graphics are also much better in the latest release of Flight Simulator. The designers put a lot of work and effort into increasing the level of detail you see. Gamers will see windsocks blowing in the wind and service vehicles driving around the roads next to the runways. The markings on the runways in the game are the same as those on the real runways. Lead game designer Sven Mestas said: "To reach a new level, we needed a new approach. We decided to innovate by editing airports from real satellite pictures. This technique involves editing each airport manually. This means we paid particular attention to detail to bring every airport a step closer to reality."

微软飞行游戏《微软模拟飞行》已经升级至世界所有机场。这意味着玩家将有超过37000个机场可以选择起飞和降落。升级后的游戏在之前的版本基础上增加了13000个新机场，之前有24000个机场。该游戏中的机场包括国际枢纽，如纽约的肯尼迪机场以及伦敦希思罗机场。还包括小型机场，比如位于沙漠中部或山顶的乡村机场、绿草如茵的机场跑道和飞机跑道。《微软模拟飞行》中的37000个机场是人工设计的，看起来像真实的机场。设计师们使用卫星图像和必应地图来做到这一点。
在最新发布的《微软模拟飞行》中，图形效果也要好得多。设计师投入了大量的工作和努力来提高肉眼能看到的细节水平。玩家们将看到风向标在风中飘动，服务车辆在跑道旁的道路上行驶。比赛跑道上的标识与真实跑道上的标识相同。首席游戏设计师Sven Mestas说到：“为了达到新高度，我们需要一个新的方法。我们决定通过根据真实的卫星图片编辑机场来创新。这项技术包括手动编辑每个机场。这意味着我们要特别注意细节，让每个机场离真实更近一步。”
