City Update 14 adds ten Areas of Interest rendered with high‑fidelity TIN surface texturing, an approach Microsoft uses to improve ground geometry and textures in dense urban locations. (flightsimulator.com)) The update’s eight Netherlands AOIs cover three separate areas in Amsterdam plus Breukelen, Brielle, Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Utrecht, while Belgium’s two AOIs are Antwerp and Bruges. (msfsaddons.com)) Microsoft timed the rollout to coincide with FSWeekend at the Lelystad Aviodrome, an event running March 20–22, 2026 where the studio presented the new content on site. (flightsimulator.com)) Local Legend 23 was developed by iniBuilds and was revealed during Microsoft’s FSWeekend keynote; the announcement tied into the Aviodrome’s own F27 exhibits, where two real F27s are on display and one was showcased over the show floor. (msfsaddons.com)) Vector’s Project Griffin presentation at FSWeekend emphasized study‑level systems fidelity—electrical systems, TCP and CDU modeling—reported a development team of more than 20 people, and reconfirmed a 2026 target while showing the 787‑9 preview. (fselite.net)) PlayStation’s developer deep‑dive explains the PS VR2 mode uses eye‑tracked foveated rendering, flexible scaled rasterization and a frame‑duplication technique to reach required framerates, and Microsoft confirmed PS VR2 will arrive alongside Sim Update 5 in April.
