What is something you'd want to see added that will excite your will for simming again?

I’m quite curious as to see what people would love to see added to this sim that will rejuvinate their will to fly constantly again.
I noticed in the last couple months people i know in my discord circles fly less and less.

What would be the most easy format to keep this thread in check is something like this
Just use one of two tags or both and your wish or feedback below.

Something you’d love to see happen from Asobo it’s side may that be a feature or an improvement that will elevate your sim experience.

Something you’d want to see enter the market may that be a scenery, airplane or some utility for example.

I’ll hit it off with my wish that would make me sim a bit more.

[CORE SIM]
I would love to see more untapped meteoblue data like air polution and stuff and weather variations.
Meteoblue is such an interesting company that has ALOT of data available that can be implemented.

Probably would love to see something like GSX but in a different manner.
Like adding life to airports, seeing AI NPC’s just work left and right.
Something that would give a dynamic life to the airport that will make it feel actually alive and kicking.

AI-powered natural ATC with logical instructions would be awesome.

AccuSim (it’s coming!) Really looking forward to the Comanche and everything A2A has prepared for us.

Good question.

Until I can get more flying time from less “fixing /fiddling” time (about one hr flying and three hours fiddling} on my pc based system. I find I’m looking for other entertainment these days.

Xbox users might be laughing at me but unless we use Xbox or a very basic pc setup, this sim can have far too much complication and inter-dependence on hardware and software components, compared to the previous ones. Even in XBox there must be a lot of scope for interdependence issues.

This is an open-ended list for a satisfying pc system:

On the software side, we have Windows itself and the hardware setup of the pc being used. Then there is MSFS itself, the SDK, FSUIPC, Simconnect, widows drivers for all the controls, Air Manager, Popout Panel Manager, TrackIR, Voice Attack, NVidia or AMD drivers and utilities, Flow, Addons Manager, LittleNavMap or Plan-G, and MSFS updates for all the addon aircraft and scenery - just off the top of my head.

On the hardware side, we have the pc itelf, monitor(s), yoke and pedals, other controls like Saitex panels and knobsters, headset, power supplies, cable management, usb connections and power, maybe a kvm switch, and so on.

It would be interesting to hear what is the experience of others. How many hours do you spend on fixing/fiddling for every hour of trouble-free flying?

I get that there might be frustrations on tinkering to get things right.
but that’s quite far off from the topic of the thread mate.

I would like more emergency simulation in the core game and a better atc

An Xbox experience that doesn’t randomly CTD! Or at least some developer feedback re CTDs…

For an addon, I’d love to see something with properly modeled RR Dart engines - including sounds!

I’m probably going to upset people with this one: :dotted_line_face:

I’d like Asobo to improve how fixed-wing aircraft interact with their surroundings on the ground.

  • Still too much weathervaning into the wind when taxiing.
  • Continues to be the sensation that you don’t fly off from or fly onto a runway. Instead it feels as if either the wheels interact at 100% with the ground or at 0%.
  • There doesn’t appear to be enough ground effect just before landing.
  • No simulation of contaminated runway surfaces and their effect on friction.

HiFi bringing their ActiveSky add-on (or equivalent) to MSFS in order to have historic real weather.
Even the previous 24 hours only would be sufficient, just to be able to experience dynamic weather (not just a preset) that is appropriate for the time of day I’m flying.

It’s immersion breaking to have my sim set up for a daytime flight in Aus/NZ, but have weather that is associated with nighttime conditions, e.g. low temperatures and low visibility (fog/mist).
Given the time difference for me in the UK, no, I don’t want to fly at 03:00 UTC to replicate a flight at 12:00 local in Sydney, just to get appropriate dynamic weather at the time I’m flying from the live weather function.

honestly agree with you, probably many simmers do.
innertia feeling is a bit weird, and ground roll definitely gets too much affected by wind rolling to one side taxiing etc.
touchdowns indeed dont feel like actual touchdowns.

but i think seb said they are going to work on that next, maybe i missheard it in the Q&A tho.

Same goes for terminal interiors, aircraft cabins… and anything else that can be toggled to optimise performance when your system (be it Xbox or PC) is struggling.

[Core] I would really like to see the weather interacting with the aircraft, in areas such as wing vortices, condensation in the airstream, especially on other aircraft in ground effect before landing…

Better ATC and Historic Airports. Cheers.

I’m about 3 hours of fiddling for every 1 hour of flying.
I like it that way because I’m actually accomplishing something.

OMG I thought I was the only one who did this! There’s always something to change… an airport, downloading of new planes, (repeated attempts at) config improvements, you name it. My wife even notices - when she happens to walk in the room and sees me flying, she says “Wow, you’re actually flying”. When you hear that, you know you’re doing a lot of tweaking.

Better ATC.

Business jets, which we are sadly lacking in. +1 on the Falcon 8X.
