[MSFS2024] Sim Update 5: Your Dream Feature?

  1. in Cloud Turbulence or in general better turbulence:)
  2. implement API for developers to create a real and working Weatherradar just like xplane did
  3. implement dual Jetway usage
  4. keep the LOD in exterior view like in cockpit

  1. restore the resizable Comm window like we had in 2020 to show 10 (or more!) options at a time instead of just 4. It’s extremely awkward to find the desired airport in the Nearest list, especially in areas with many airports available.

  2. take career mode off the rails and let me make my own choices for aircraft, route, etc. Just give me an objective such as “take this passenger to destination XYZ” or “ferry this aircraft to …” and let me do the rest as I would in real life. You could still score based upon how long it takes, efficiency of the route, etc. But why ding me if I don’t take the exact preset exit, etc.?

Or don’t score at all. I just want to accomplish something. Make it a simple pass/fail. If I make it there on time in one piece, it’s a pass. Then base my overall score on the ratio of passed missions to failures.

  1. revise the Marketplace UI to eliminate all the wasted space. It’s a real hassle trying to find anything. And go back to vertical scrolling. I don’t know who thought horizontal scrolling was a good idea, but it’s not. Same for aircraft selection.

  2. I’d like to see the hanger return. It was nice to get a view of the aircraft and read a little bit about them without having to set up a free flight first.

They need to focus on weather and clouds

I wish working and bug-free planes. Nearly all of them have to be updated …

For me it’s sorting the ATC and traffic out, but it sounds like whilst an ATC rework is on the horizon, it won’t be for a while. I would appreciate more fixes to both however. VFR works well, but IFR can be a bit wonky.

FSX Camera system back

Edit: no longer necessary, payware util Chase Plane from Parallel 42 does the job excellent.

I think something is off with your textures for that plane. I’m on PC and with SU-4 it switched from the default one that is white but has a mild pattern on it to the fugly alt red one with a lightning bolt. This is still bad but better than that alt-red one.

I was wondering if maybe the livery just didn’t load, because when I was in the hangar before th job the plane looked like it had been sitting in the aircraft graveyard for 50 years

PLEASE fix the LOD! It is too strict and prevents Vatsim and IVAO traffic from showing correct landing gear placements. How about 3 jet ways for the A380 and 2 jetways for the rest?

A native autosave function so you can recover from WASM crashes would be a life saver!

Better weather with CBs, TCUs up to 30k+, storms, proper turbulence in clouds or at the buttom of cumulus’, up-downdrafts, hail, iceing…

WX we have to avoid. Now clouds are just for looks.

+3d WX-radar.

Fix LoD of landing gear, engines…

Hopefully more fixes for the default aircraft, better daytime lights and terrain display for the default inibuilds jets (and more fixes to the the A310)

I’d love this as well, but if I remember correctly, MS/Asobo can’t do a proper weather radar simulation as long as they’re under contract with MeteoBlue for their proprietary weather data; this is either due to the risk of exposing too much of said data to potential capture or tampering outside the sim, or due to the data itself not having enough depth to make it possible. I believe the reason is the former, because MS/Asobo are doubtless paying MeteoBlue a lot of money to have access to the data in the first place, and due to its proprietary nature, it would make sense for MeteoBlue to have stipulated in the contract that nobody/nothing can have access to it except MSFS and Asobo’s developers.

(Back on topic now, sorry moderators…)

Cockpit sharing via Internet - so I can finally do credible airliner flights together with my buddy, without resorting to external programs (which sometimes work and sometimes don‘t…)

Yeah, I know.

But wish they could find a solution with MB, so they at least could pull precipitation data. Or the relevant data was handled by Microsoft (in some way so it would not expose MB data) before sent to the game servers, or if they could track CBs/storms etc in real-time and insert that on top if the MB WX, or…

Just some kind of solution to the MB situation, so 3d WX radar would work in-game.

Just saying “it is impossiblé”, is not good enough, imho.

Simple QoL feature where, if you are in VR, going to the settings by default drops you in the VR graphics settings rather than in the 2D graphics settings.

Makes sense, no? Who is adjusting 2D settings while in VR?

Better inertia for default aircraft. As a GA pilot irl there is still a lack of inertia. Please make it like it is in XP12!

Oh, and I forgot a better weather system and better volumetric clouds with cloud shadows!

I dream to have better visual effects for weather, like raining, snow, right now it looks very poor. I want have plane covered in snow or see how wet plane while raining!
