I haven't checked in on Microsoft Flight Simulator for a while, but the aviation 'em up hasn't missed a beat. Last month it received World Update 15, continuing increase the detail of its global landscape with a visit to Greenland and the Nordics. Now Asobo have released City Update 5: European Cities 1, which brings a similar pass of polish to five "exemplary urban regions".
Each of these updates uses new satellite data and 3D scans to render the world you're flying over in greater fidelity - and much greater fidelity than its developers could manage if they were crafting each building by hand. City Update 5 will focus on: The Hague, Netherlands; Brussels, Belgium; Košice, Slovakia; Zagreb, Croatia, and Cádiz, Spain.
The full announcement explains some of the specific sights you'll be able to visit (and perhaps crash into) in each city, from the Peace Palace in The Hague, to the largest church in Slovakia in Košice. I have been to several of the countries featured in this update, because I am a man of culture, but I have been to none of these specific cities, because really I was only in these countries to see a video game developer and the offices were elsewhere.
City Update V is free to owners of Microsoft Flight Simulator. You'll need to update to version 1.34.16.0 and actively download the update in-game.
Here's the trailer:

A Cyberpunk 2077 New Game Plus mode is something that was teased several years ago, but has yet to be followed up on in any major way - the 2.0 update didn't come with NG+, and as far as we can see, there's been no major comments from CD Projekt Red regarding the feature in recent months or even years.

I love how Microsoft Flight Simulator exists in the background now, like the distant roar of an overhead flight path. Not only is it just nice to have a shiny, new version of one of the gaming OGs there to pick up and play at any time, every now and then it drops an absolutely gorgeous new trailer showing off some wild technical wizardry or hyper-detailed new cityscape. That's exactly what's happened now, with Flight Sim's latest update inviting you to pay a flying visit to an eclectic collection of European cities.
