[MSFS2024] Sim Update 7: Your Dream Feature?

Would be nice if Saab 340B’s basic navigation instruments worked.

The main navigation displays (CPT & FO) shows something weird, but not what they should. And there is no distance to next waypoint showing anywhere.

The MFD is a joke also, as is FO’s RMI, which just doesn’t work at all.

ADF’s middle digit is untunable.

Would be nice to be able to fly IFR with that plane and fly some NDB approaches as FO. It could become a good plane, if the bugs were to be ironed out in future.

While I appreciate them adding an option to start in cockpit, this would also be nice at high detailed airports. I imagine two ways:

1 a simple click anywhere on ground after you have selected the aircraft’s spawn point, a new option start with avatar here and and the avatar will start there

2 give scenery devs an easy way to specific avatar launch locations that would show up as little points or something. That way 3d position can be carefully specified. For example on the second floor or in a carpark. Scenery devs could really show off their creations this way and people might actually explore. Right now hardly anyone does let’s be honest, yet we have all these amazing interiors.

It would be highly immersive to start at an fbo or crew meeting room or even car park and walk through the airport and onto the plane.

3d lighting for airport runway lights, approach lights and PAPI, led vs incandescent, realistic view angles (not any direction and altitude). A true photo metric renderer to simulate real world light levels limited to the Monitor nits. This allows for lights to be seen or not depending on the surrounding light levels. Better rendition of weather effects and physics on ground, snow, wet puddles on runways etc

For the love of god, give the Erickson its deserved firefighting capability. According to the trailer of the actual sim it was supposed to be a thing already at release, 2 years ago. This stunning piece of engineering has been neglected already too much, make it right!

Fix the feathering, I know that the trees could be greener and the clouds cloudier but isn’t this feature a basic aircraft function that MS / Asobo HAVE NEVER FIXED? Sorry shouldn’t shout but really…

The lighthouses we were promised.

Unfortunately we do really get a Saab 2000 to go with the 340B or a smaller 787 like the 787 8 series

  • reduce VRAM usage
  • improve default airports details (such as taxiways & gates)
  • improve flight dynamics
  • improve world updates & photogrammetry (melted terrains are too bad)

Proper parking spots at Seaplane Bases that work just like the parking spots at regular airports.

More photogrammetric sceneries!!!

Continued working on reduced VRAM usage, or something similar to what MSFS_AutoFPS does. That addon makes MSFS2024 flyable for me.

The sim’s native Dynamic Settings aims to do exactly this, but it’s a bit simpler (and, as a result, more aggressive) in how it does it.

omg yes! this would add such a nice RPG layer to the sim. and the 3rd party payware scenery producers would love that feature … just thinking of EDDS by Aerosoft …

yes … clouds, haze … continuous rain … all these things are a problem

cloud depiction (get rid of those puffs everywhere)! and better generic airports.

I hope the flight model/tracking issues that occur with PSVR2 in most helicopters. especially the Eurocopter ec135. both the collective and the stick seem to have a life on their own. This makes them unplayable as the helicopter often makes radically changes altitude or attitude without any inputs.

Just fix and adjust what isnt correct, like turbulence. Having to have turbulence on “Low” for an airliner not to be pushed around like a just made a paper airplane is crazy.

The biggest thing I want to see from this sim is for it to evolve beyond being just a flight game and become a true-to-life flight simulator—where weather systems, atmospheric conditions, aircraft behavior, and all the other key elements are accurately modeled and faithfully reproduced.
