Found the relevant comment in the June Dev Stream transcript.

So basically, we have two things from Bing. Well, three. So, it is aerials and aerials. We just got a 200-terabyte update for what we think of as locked FS2024 launch data. But the world between FS2024 and 2020, as far as aerials is concerned, is shared. So this will go benefit flights in 2020 as well. So you will see that whenever we launch FS2024. Then there’s DEM data. We update DEM data all the time. We have world runs. And then there is some work to be done on our side. Basically, we have to make sure that the airports didn’t get affected and the POIs don’t get affected and those types of things. So we do it essentially based on World Updates that we launch. But again, for FS2024, we’re doing a full refresh of the entire world, which then will also benefit 2020.
