One of the dev alpha builds had cockpit view and showcase cam, don’t know if they intend bringing it back, but this needs to be voted for.

The problem is the sim is full with issues, nobody knows when “features” will become priority.
but as this topic title says, this is not the problem, the problem is why they took amazing feature and degraded it entirely? thats the problem.
The hangar was a lovely feature in 2020 and I impressed my colleagues at work with screenshots from it.
Also it was very practical for livery painting. I used to update the livery while MSFS2020 was open, switch the aircraft to another one, and then back to it and the livery updates. I could inspect it and do more photoshop tweaks etc. It was much more practical this way than loading a whole flight to see if the livery looks Ok.
I have to admit that it was a sad thing to see it gone. I wonder what was the reason.
I hope it will be back.
Cheers

This is a very weird decision, the FS2020 hangar was a great feature. I can’t even properly see the livery selected on some planes due to the size and angle. Funny enough the “picture” in MSFS2024 aircraft configure window is not a still picture, “remove before flight” tags and such can be seen fluttering in the wind. Yet it is not possible to rotate the aircraft to view from different angles. Voted.

All this fancy catalog, without a hangar, and without a piece of background info about a single piece of a plane! its just crazy! got the aviator edition for pictures album! I can’t fly a plane without background info about them, nor i can fly it if it didn’t have a parking spot in “my hangar”!
all i did in the sim since launch is some training missions, when i open the sim to do more, i remembe there is no hangar, then i close the sim.
hope this nightmare will have a happy ending.

Comparison by screenshots of the feature degradation between 2020 vs 2024:
1- Quick access menu for aircraft by pictures, for both 2020 & 2024:
2- Hangar that utilizes camera angels inspection with background info about planes (only in 2020, totally removed in 2024, causing the degradation, which contradicts to what has been promised to improve the sim):
3- Conclusion: 2020 gives you a value of collecting planes not just for flying them, by inspecting them as a collection at once, having your own dedicated place for accessing and showcasing them, & most importantly, having background info about them.
ifs thats not degradation happened, then the blue is red like 1+2 is 9 
Hope devs reconsider this severe path.
