New ideas

hello :slight_smile: moin … moin .. first of all .. congratulations for the ingenious flight simulator. it would be nice if you could now integrate civilian campaigns, for example humanitarian rescue missions transport operations (passengers, animals, cargo) yeah … slowly building up your own cargo company … (economic simulation) and very up-to-date … fire extinguishing operations we are all waiting for it … no matter how much it costs;) many thanks and greetings from hamburg

we should share these great ideas with Asobo studios and microsoft
but i don’t know who the best contact person would be :frowning:

I think ‘scenarios’ are a good idea. It’s not the first I have heard it suggested but it is an excellent point.

Maybe these are more great project ideas for 3rd party developers (and amateur Modders) to add to the Sim, while Asobo makes the BASE sim Stable & Supportive for such addons.

There are already “Missions” in MSFS ?

No need for separate “scenarios”, it is going on everywhere on earth :slightly_frowning_face: put random fires when temp>35C

Give us a firefighter tool for GA aircraft, put a particle model in just like contrails for airliners… dark clouds as smoke.. Many forest fires that are going on now.. wonder if they can keep up with the news.. Siberia, California, Brazil..

One idea not mentioned yet: cartography challenge. Suppose you’d have a terrain camera onboard, and you’re mapping the terrain below you.. It involves keeping the plane on accurate altitude.. and a kind of “lawn mowing” course over the terrain below you. On your NAV-map, you see your aircraft, and how well you have covered the terrain sofar, with colors the aerial picture you are making.. and slight distortions (or gaps) when the altitude was too far off. In the 1970’s most GA aircraft were built, that is how aerial photography worked. The strips or rectangles had to be stiched manually. Nowadays, we have digital image correction.. and sats..

I actually really like this. There is something deliciously self referencing about FS2020 doing arial photography. …

You’ll be interested in this..

Also i made these a year ago. Hopefully we’ll get something like these down the line..

Do you know how boring aerial survey actually is in real life? Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

Just join a Virtual Airline. There are some very realistic ones. I fly for Virtual Lufthansa and Austrian on VAMSYS.

You can book the real schedule flights, get points for your flights and you can rank up. VAMSYS is a full VA managment system, it will generate the amount of passengers/cargo for your flight and has simbrief integration. There are also Cargo Airlines.

If you consider to join, make sure you read the rules and SOP. They are very strict and apply real world operations, like minimum landing fuel, no pause/time acceleration, landing rate, etc…

Virtual Austrian is officialy supported by the real Austrian Airlines and many Staff members work for them as Pilots or other positions.

Man, you giving me so many ideas. There are so many cool missions we could have in this sim.

A multiplayer event could be added: airshow formation flight

All players have the same aircraft. Takeoff position and timing is set by MSFS.. After start, you wait. When you see your aircraft appear on the runway, you’ll have to take off and follow a certain flight plan, made for you by MSFS. At certain points in the flight plan, you could execute some pattern, e.g. flying side by side, banking left of right, or a sharp turn. On the NAV-map, you see the others and their flight plans.

The scenery: airport with many AI people, watching and cheering. You have a life audio connection. The better you execute the flight plan, the louder the cheering sound is.

After everyone has landed (or.. ONE of the participants crashed !) each participant gets a certain amount of points. Accuracy of takeoff and landing, following the flight plan, number of seconds joined side by side, distance to the spectators on the ground, minimal altitude flown side by side..

Or just port the old FSX missions over to FS2020, those were loads of fun and most of those were reasonably realistic.

If it’s allready there.. may as well use it, of course.. there were no multiplayer events yet, so I put one..

That is something they should have kept legacy compatibility for instead of the flight models. Would be cool if the FSX missions were compatible with FS2020. I don’t know how much different it is now, maybe someone is able to built something to port FSX missions over to FS2020.

How does that mission work in FSX ? There were other players involved ? Or they put virtual team mates ? Is’nt there some organization required.. directives..

I’m talking about the single player missions actually. But I believe there were some red bull races and a Reno race which could be done multi-player.

Would be nice to have a multiplayer race mission :grin: put some side winds..

Hard times were yes-yes. But it was also linked to humor. Not just for “concrete poets” :partying_face:
