Yes, I agree with you. I also flew gliders a long time ago, and that’s exactly what I miss here. What you and I would like to have won’t happen, because most people fly passenger planes here, and there’s very little interest in gliders. That’s why I’m happy with this addition, because I can take off from any airport, not from airports imposed by MS, and fly back and forth along the slopes – it’s no fun.
Dream feature in SU 6? Well I would like to see better performance and finally some attention to the clouds and live weather.
- yes yes yes
FYI, there is this item in the SU6 beta release notes:
I rarely fly gliders and so am no expert on the subject, but would the above help at all with your glider flights?
Thanks for the info. I’ve already read it, of course. Improvements to existing features are always welcome. For me, though, it’s not really worth mentioning, as there’s still so much else missing.
I’ve already mentioned that ongoing development can sometimes mean taking a step backwards. And so there were also things in FS2020 that really blew me away, but which aren’t the same in FS2024. That’s not my problem, though it is annoying. My concern is that, with the transition to FS2024, a lot seems to have been lost and, above all, that progress has stalled.
To put it somewhat provocatively: I can fly aeroplanes in GTA too, but I expect far more from a flight SIMULATOR!
All the best
Being able to favorite aircraft in the free flight mode would be great.
I hope they do another thorough AAU style updates on the default first party aircraft, the A310, King air, 747-8, etc need more love than they’ve got.
I would like to see DLSS 5 available this fall. It should improve shadows quite a bit.
Careful what you wish for regarding DLSS 5. It might require an annual contract with some massive data center to run. lol
+1 wishing for some kind of atmospherics and weather update. The current atmosphere in FS24 leaves a lot to be desired, I haven’t seen any kind of attempt to replicate CBs and TCUs
There are some excellent suggestions and ideas in this topic, but as a reminder, all wishes should be made in the Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Wishlist category if you want them read by the folks at Microsoft / Asobo. It is unlikely that individual devs are going to read through ~ 750+ posts & counting in this topic to see if there just happens to be a feature request that fits within their particular area of responsibility.
Don’t forget that, as per the wishlist readme:
- Please add only one request per thread.
- Duplicates will be automatically rejected.
- This category is for feature requests directed towards the MS/Asobo team, not towards 2nd or 3rd party developers.
- If you have an SDK or SimConnect request, please use DevSupport.
- If creating a new wish, assure you cast a vote for your own wish once it has been approved, as this isn’t done automatically!
Also this topic about rejected wishes may be of interest to some:
Having the discussion here is good, but voting for your own request as well in the appropriate topic in the Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Wishlist category is much better!! ![]()
I tested SU6 specifically for this one note in the changelog. From what I’ve experienced it didn’t change anything fundamental. Thermals still tend to lean upwind instead of being placed directly under the cloud. The stronger the wind, the bigger the offset.
5 knot wind (on ground level)
15 knot wind (on ground level)
Both weather presets have the same 4 knot wind speed above 1500 ft AGL. Cloud base is at 10.000 ft AGL
The cloud updrafts in msfs24 always have been slanting way too much in wind compared to real life, and i don’t think SU6 has addressed this issue in particular.
Flight review recording. Store most recent 5 minutes of flight which could be reviewed/views from any angle.
Shared cockpit ![]()
Full water mask/shallow water and intuitive triple monitor setup
No new features please. Just a stable simulator.
Fix Career mode, maintenance to be fairer, generate more missions - (where did they all go anyway?).
More missions in Africa top to bottom please, in every company category.
Less penalties for every little thing please.
Thanks
We have stunning views in VR in full stereo and yet there is no way to capture 3D video while flying. You can at least now do 2D videos through Virtual Desktop but you see all over Youtube VR videos that will show in your headset taken wtih 3D cameras as well as animations created with software. We have all the left and right eye information available. One would think it a simple process to combine them into a finished 3D video.
