I’m in agreement with a few others, in that I would love to see improvements made to the weather. Specifically storms. It seems like even the strongest storms in game only go up to maybe 20,000’, when in reality they typically go up to 30,000-40,000’, with some supercells reaching up to 60,000’.

You can watch real time flight traffic circumnavigate storm systems, whereas in the game you can cruise right over them at FL330 as if they aren’t even there.

Properly modeling storms would add a more realistic level of depth to avoiding hazardous weather.

Force feedback support is my number one! Once this is properly implemented, everything else is a bonus for me.

Replace airport grass with cut grass land class and lose the global dandelions and buttercups (for goodness sake!). Frankly MSFS 2020 grass was better.

And lose the ‘stick lights’ on all the taxi ways replace them with real world lights fitted into the ground.

Reopen the World Hub and give us the right tools to fix all the airports. More airport lighting and marking choices, some control over simple buildings and other objects.

“Stick lights” are used at thousands of airports in the US. I’d say “make them in-ground where they’re supposed to be.” Which goes back to my original request - give us the tools to do that.

The flight physics of the standard aircraft should be revised !

The core flight model of msfs2024 is truly excellent, but it also needs to be fed with good data (flight_model.cfg, engine.cfg).

Many standard aircraft are really well done, and some could benefit from fine-tuning. However, it seems the developers must have indulged a bit too much of the excellent local red wine when creating the flight models of the Cessna C-185, Piper PA28-235, Savage Cup, and Extra 330LT!

This went live with SU4, at least for all currently-available filters.

Can be both.

So hell no.

Considering the Xbox hardware, and thus your experience, is better than that of many PC players (but at a fraction of the cost) I don’t see how this is realistic whatsoever.

Personally I have no interest in career mode but I feel it has a place in MSFS 2024. The activities in the career mode are all part of aviation that occurs in reality.

Red runway entrance lights at the hold lines like at KLAX would be a neat little addition.

If you don’t like career mode choose free flight

For us career moders

  1. Heavy cert
  2. Liveries
  3. Fix the pre flight bugs
  4. ATC bugs
  5. Choose time of flight
  6. Better use of all airports, especially for VIP
  7. More aircraft

You can do this on red dot flights already - is the ask to be able to do this for all mission types? I could see some issues with that, but maybe instead of no restrictions, we just get fewer.

MS/Asobo can’t do too much about this - the majority of default aircraft are Career compatible, and the vast majority of those that make sense for Career are compatible. It’s up to third party devs to make their products compatible.

Those, runway guard lights, runway distance remaining signs.

Wind tees, tetrahedrons, more windsocks. All with options to be lighted.

General obstruction lights. Ramp lights. heck, placeable lights and light strings of any color.

Simple hangars and tee hangars.

A better variety of rotating beacons

More generic control towers

Droppable parking tees

Taxiway reflectors

Cones, tires, and flat ground panels for soft runway markers (as well as segmented circles).

Fences. Give me fences.

Allow ATC Locpak file to be editable just like 2020.

Secondary wish - add step climbs.

We do need new default aircraft for career mode to make it more interesting been stuck with the same aircraft for awhile :frowning:

Would love to eventually fly these in career mode, Boeing 767 300/300 er, DO328Jet, Boeing 717 200, Cessna 206, Fairchild Metroliner, and embrear erj 135 :slight_smile: because that could help career mode in the used market
