That’s the most frustrating part, it’s like they’ve never seen the basic features of FSX, either. I think it’s because this was first and foremost a technology platform (just my pet theory.) They chopped all features that didn’t expressly relate to the core technologies, and are slowly (hopefully) adding them in. We may see MSFS have the core features of FSX… at the end of the 10 year development plan 
Edit: Not to sound wholly ungrateful. I love MSFS, but I can’t pretend it isn’t riddled with shortcomings compared to other sims despite excelling in some new areas the franchise never excelled in before.
