You must have the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator version currently installed (1.38.2.0 as of 03/11/2025) to download and enjoy World Update XIX: Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname.

World Update XIX delivers the South American countries of Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname in fresh, vivid detail to the Microsoft Flight Simulator world.

Brazil and its northern bordering countries of French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname behold some of the planet’s most spectacular sights and ecosystems. The region encompasses much of the vast Amazon Basin, Caribbean and Atlantic coastlines, modern cities, and much more. World Update XIX invites you to explore these diverse regions, reproduced in exquisite detail with this latest Flight Simulator offering.

World Update XIX enhances over half the land mass of South America with its coverage of Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. Microsoft partnered with Bing Maps, Maxar, and Vexcel to create this release, which comprises sights ranging from vast dune fields to bustling metropolises. The team fused several types of recent geospatial data, including aerial photographs, satellite imagery, DEM (digital elevation model) data, and DTM (digital terrain model) data to create World Update XIX.

World Update XIX comprises 75 POIs (points of interest), including Fort Diamant in French Guiana, Mount Roraima in Guyana and Brazil, Fort Zeelandia in Suriname, and Brazil’s Cathedral of Brasilia. It includes four TIN cities, all in Brazil: Brasilia, Ouro Preto, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo. Microsoft Partner Gaya Simulations hand crafted seven airports: Brazil’s Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (SBFI), Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha Airport (SBFN), Brazil’s Santos Dumont Airport (SBRJ), Brazil’s Santarém–Maestro Wilson Fonseca International Airport (SBSN), Suriname’s Zorg en Hoop Airport (SMZO), French Guiana’s Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport (SOOM), and Guyana’s Kaieteur International Airport (SYKA).

The update comes with three Discovery Flights, three Landing Challenges, and three Bush Trips that wonderfully showcase the magnificent parts of South America covered in this release. The Discovery Flights include northern Brazil’s Lençóis Maranhenses National Park; Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname; and Sao Paulo, the most populous city in Brazil. Test your piloting skills at Brazil’s Santos Dumont Airport (SBRJ) in an epic landing challenge, Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha Airport (SBFN) in a strong wind challenge, and Brazil’s Sao Paulo–Congonhas Airport (SBSP) in an epic challenge. Soar throughout some of South America’s most spectacular scenery with the update’s three Bush Trips: “Amazon Tour,” which explores the Amazon River from the depths of the Amazon Rainforest to its delta; “Discover Brazil,” which traces a route inland of Sao Paulo to Brazil’s capital, Brasilia; and “Guyana – Suriname – French Guiana,” which explores areas of South America seldom visited, from highlands to the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts.
