Explore the white sand beaches and emerald waters of one of the most beautiful regions on the planet!
The Caribbean, a seemingly endless series of islands mostly located just east of Central America between the North and South American continental land masses, is globally recognized as one of the most exotic and beautiful regions on the planet. The Microsoft Flight Simulator team is pleased to add World Update XVI: Caribbean to its long and growing list of global enhancements so that aviators can experience this storied part of the globe like never before.

The team ingested a massive trove of geospatial data for World Update XVI: Caribbean, including aerial photographs, satellite data, LIDAR (light detection and ranging) data, DEM (digital elevation model) data, and DTM (digital terrain model) data.
World Update XVI: Caribbean is available FREE to all owners of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Ensure that your simulator is updated to version 1.35.21.0, download World Update XVI: Caribbean, and discover the stunning landscape of the Caribbean in Microsoft Flight Simulator! The sky is calling!
