Suwanosejima is home to only 48 people and has no regularly scheduled flights. Now we start trekking down the Tokara Islands to the smallest airport added in the Japan update. An older runway is located across the bridge but has been retired since 2010. Located in Omura Bay, it’s easily identifiable by a large number of solar panels right next to the runway and the “NAGASAKI” letters spelled out in hedges. One of Japan’s unique small island airports, Nagasaki serves nearly three million passengers a year. Having flown there myself in Microsoft Flight Simulator, I highly recommend it, especially now that it’ll have a handcrafted airport. Hachijojima Airport is on a remote island 123 Nautical Miles south of Tokyo with the landing strip between two small mountains of about two to three thousand meters in height. Take runway 17 for a departure over the Pacific Ocean. It serves about half a million passengers each year with its 2500 meter long runway. Up in Hokkaido, the Kushiro Airport is a domestic airport with some limited capabilities for the occasional international charter. The majority are located on relatively remote islands which you’ll need to trek to. If you were expecting new handcrafted airports in those locations, you’re sadly incorrect. Missing, unfortunately are Osaka and Kyoto. There’s also Sendai to the north and Takamatsu and Tokushima down on Shikoku island.

The Japan update has six total with three of them being in the Tokyo area. The primary way for Asobo to update areas of the game is to add more photorealistic cities. So if you think you’re familiar with the geography right now, be a bit careful as you fly above the mountains.įor those of you who want a bit more direction there are also new landing challenges and an all new bush trip!

General ImprovementsĪs we just mentioned, even if you’re flying in areas that aren’t being improved by photogrammetry, Asobo is updating the entire country’s elevation data. It’s honestly a lot to think about and experience so we’ve put together this guide in an effort to help you figure out exactly where you’ll need to fly on September 29 when the Japan Update lands. The first new content centers around Japan, bringing with it an overhaul to the country’s elevation data, new handcrafted airports, and photogrammetry to six of the country’s major cities. With two patches focused on performance and quality of life updates, Asobo Studios is bringing new content to Microsoft Flight Simulator in less than a week.
