World Update 19 includes 75 points of interest (POIs) such as the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, Fort Zeelandia, Fort Diamant, and Monte Roraima. It highlights four TIN cities in Brazil: Brasilia, Ouro Preto, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo. In addition, there are seven newly handcrafted airports from Gaya Simulations:

Players can download World Update 19 for free from the MSFS Marketplace.
Additionally, Microsoft Flight Simulator has unveiled its latest Local Legend aircraft, the CAP-4 Paulistinha. Developed in the 1940s by Companhia Aeronáutica Paulista, this light trainer aircraft resembles the Piper Cub.

Developed in partnership with iniBuilds, the CAP-4 Paulistinha comes with six liveries: N505, PP-HCP, PP-HIY, PP-HLJ, PP-TJR, and PT-ZGA. It is available as a complimentary update for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 users as compensation for the earlier launch issues. For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 owners, the CAP-4 Paulistinha can be purchased for $14.99 from the MSFS Marketplace.
