Is this the most detailed MSFS update ever? | Australia WU21 + new marketplace arrivals

Microsoft Flight Simulator just received its massive World Update 21: Australia, and the "Land Down Under" has been completely transformed. With the new Azure Maps, Vexcel, and Gaya Simulations collaboration, we’re seeing 40 new Areas of Interest (AOIs) and 6 handcrafted airports—but how does it stack up against World Update 7 from 2022? In this video, we break down this week's Marketplace releases into three categories to help you decide where to spend your flight hours (and your money).

🌍 WORLD UPDATE 21: AUSTRALIA (FREE)
- New Tech: Updated TIN photogrammetry and digital elevation modeling.
- Handcrafted Airports: Broken Hill (YBHI), Broome (YBRM), Coober Pedy (YCBP), and more.
- Missions: 21 new missions and landing challenges for MSFS 2020/2024.

🏙️ THE AUSTRALIAN POWERHOUSE (PAID)
- Perth Landmarks (Impulse Simulations): Is it worth the premium over the free update? We look at the Swan River, 80 handcrafted POIs, and the functional Royal Perth Hospital helipad.

✈️ REGIONAL GATEWAYS & BUDGET PICKS
- Appleton (KATW): A stunning regional hub in Wisconsin with full terminal interiors.
- Tulum "Jungle Airport" (MMTL): Mexico’s newest landing challenge deep in the Yucatan.
- Global Highlights: Puerto Madrin (Argentina), San Andres (Caribbean), and Japura (Indonesia).
