Very big overhaul of a game that's been around for decades because basically it had...
Better planes, more realistic actual avionics and the way the planes operate.
But also the scenery that you see when flying was real.
It's real satellite imagery, and they had used computers to turn every tree into a tree and all that kind of stuff.
Every building's a building, et cetera.
So it looks real.
Yeah, essentially from the air it looks real.
Now, there was things like when you go down low, it didn't look real because they were just blocks and not buildings.
And so over time they've been rolling out these updates every few months.
In 2020, they did a global update, world update that was Australia.
And this week, they've released the 21st world update.
Titled Australia.
And so basically it's more great content featuring Australia.
So there is lots to show.
But broadly, if you look at just New South Wales, for example, Albury has been populated in kind of real world.
So what that means is if there's a town hall or a town centre or a shopping centre, it's been mapped off the 3D image as opposed to just being a block or just a generic house.
It might look like a real house somewhere.
Coffs Harbour, the upper Chatswood, the commercial buildings are all there.
Even out at Wagga, there's a bunch of airports like Bathurst, Bathurst Airport.
