There are tons of new and exciting things coming to the sim over the next couple of years, so I wanted to ask around and see what you favorite upcoming features are. Feel free to chose from the list or share any you are aware of, and post a reply below. I’d love to discuss these features and everyone’s hopes for them :upside_down_face:

Some Upcoming Features:

  • Seasons [25]
  • Improved Systems/Flight Model [17]
  • Replay Mode [17]
  • Multi - Monitor [14]
  • Improved Taxiway Signs [11]
  • ATIS and ATC phraseology and general improvements [11]
  • Helicopters [9]
  • DirextX12 [11]
  • Ability to open doors [7]
  • Gliders/Seaplanes [7]
  • Better AI traffic [6]
  • VR (in less than a month!) [6]
  • Contrails [6]
  • FX + Water Effects [6]
  • Powerlines/VFR landmarks [5]
  • Scenery Gateway System [5]
  • Improved rural scenery/transition from urban areas [5]
  • Full Pause [3]

My personal favorite is replay mode, I can’t wait to see what amazing shots I’ll be able to get with the system. I also really wish that the taxiway signs get improved, as they are far to bright at night.

Seasons

not on the list, though.

edit: (don’t misunderstand it was not listed initially, the thread owner added later :smile:)

I guess measuring is going to be overwhelming as a POLL is not a native forums feature. You will count the votes by hand.

You can add fx effects to the list contrails,wave effects for sea planes.

I’ll add it on, and yeah I guess I’ll have to do that :slight_smile:

Contrails will be super nice, I know they already found them being worked on in the game files, but imagine how beautiful that would look in sim.

Have they committed to making rudder work on Xbox controller? Cause that’s my favorite thing on their “known bugs” list.

If it’s on the known bugs list, it means they are planning on fixing it in the future. This poll is more focused on gameplay related features rather than just bugs though.

I guess no announced features sounded exciting to me, then, other than maybe helicopters would be neat?

Ah yeah, the rural/city transitions are quite odd. One thing they talked about was even reducing how often streetlights appear according to population density. Will add to the list, thanks!

Helicopters in the best VFR sim would be pretty neat

This seems to be one people really want. I hope it comes true!

Seasons, it would add so much to the already amazing visual atmosphere of the sim.

Partnership with MCE for improved ATC and crew coordination

the partnership with MCE is not possible

The new MSFS 2020 should have included all of the features of FSX as a baseline and then improvements upon that
