Hi there, I will try to answer your question as best as I can. But before I do, in these green categories where you are supposed to tag with your platform, you are only supposed to use your platform’s tag, which in this case is ms-store. So I will be changing these tags on this post. It is always understood that these questions may apply to other platforms.
To answer your question:
In short, yes. I will answer first with a statement of fact, and then a statement of opinion.
Statement of fact:
It has been addressed in previous developer streams and Jörg Neumann, head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, has announced plans to go around the world and update the entire world. To my recollection, I think he has said it publicly at least twice. Once recently.
Statement of opinion:
Moderators are not employees, and we only have slightly more internal knowledge than the general public. So everything else I’m saying beyond here is my opinion and does not reflect that of Microsoft or Asobo:
-
One problem is, first, that they obtain a lot of the data contained in world updates from governments, and it is not always easy to obtain those data sets. As I understand it based on previous developer streams, it is not even just the developing world that is difficult to get the data from, but even some first-world countries have been challenging, as well. (I think New Zealand may have been an exception, as Jörg seemed to indicate that working with the New Zealand government was a very positive experience.)
-
To a certain extent, they have to put a priority on where people fly. This isn’t just guesswork on their part: They have telemetry data that tells them where everybody flies. So it would make sense to me to please the largest number of people first by updating those regions.
That being said, I know it can be frustrating to people who don’t live in western Europe or North America, but the only thing I can say is, it will happen and we just have to be patient. And I say this as someone with a lot of family living in the developing world, and as someone who hopes to start a tour of South America by 172 sometime this year.
In the meantime, I’ll point to the most recent feedback snapshot from today, which shows planned updates for South Korea (#10) and Brazil (#15):
I hope this helps!
