mutley 4,498 Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 So here is an opportunity voice your most wanted additions / improvements to MFS2020 To start it off, I would like to see rainbows (but no unicorns lol) Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Realistic ATC Proper sloped runways Ground effect More force feedback Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Alternatively, which 3rd party addon would you like to see incorporated / embedded into a new simulator? Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Less slidey-skiddy taxying Up-to date nav database & airspace, with an easy way of updating (e.g. Navigraph etc). Just being within 5 miles of the same airport in X-Plane would be a start! Rain effects (anyone remember those?) Correct positioning of clouds based on METARS (ie AGL not AMSL) Proper European ATC Rail tracks with moving trains (like car traffic) Unicorns (ya know, I've never actually seen the Northern Lights. I think they're a miff . . .) Link to post Share on other sites

Odd, I have seen them in FSX but not P3D eventhough the Envtex shader addon has textures for them. Try sitting on the runway at Tromsø for a while? Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Combat FS capability...yes...even shooting down ai or other player aircraft. My #1 request because otherwise when I finally replace my dead computer i'll be switching to DCS world... Associated; Robust support for multi-player even in civil operations. Air-hauler, for example, flying with actual other players would be awesome frosting! ALL the weather/shadow/cloud/lighting/atmouspheric effects! Immediate support for add-on development and integration. Unicorns. Edited July 13, 2019 by Captain Coffee 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I would like to see a built-in Google Earth API, so we can display flight plans or flown flights in GE. As Tim said, definitely some sort of Navigraph interface that can import flight plans and be the basis for an airfield database. OK, I cede to popular request, Unicorns.

Tim_A 997 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Proper multi-core and GPU support Decent scenery performance, especially in densely populated areas (think about how crap P3D is around London, compared to X-Plane with the same Addon scenery) Ability to crack the doors open a bit while taxying Clouds that don't vanish completely as soon as you fly out of them Better vectoring (no more repeated 30-degree left/right zig-zagging) Oh, ad did I mention, unicorns?

Soaranden 84 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Here's something I'd like to see added not only to the new Microsoft simulator but to P3D and X-Plane 11, as well: Realistic AI helicopter traffic such as was provided by Heli Traffic 2009, but taken even further by including helicopters in ATC and by enabling visual flight following such as can be done with fixed-wing AI aircraft.

mutley 4,498 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Good point Dan, I tend to overlook the hover-bovvers, I enjoyed having Heli Traffic 2009 running as well. Did DodoSim ever upgrade their 206 to P3D? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I would like to see jet blast from airliners and fighters, and some heat haze for GA exhausts Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The ability to call up the ATC and declare an emergency, so that procedures swing into action to get you down safely etc and send out the fire trucks when you do so! Something you cannot do with FSX. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

All of the above except the DCS world bit (replace with X-Plane 11 military capabilities) and...…. Better FPS for an average spec PC Backward compatibility with FSX/P3D aircraft addons Edited July 22, 2019 by J G Link to post Share on other sites
Tristarcaptain 282 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Military AI aircraft...not just civil. More detailed texture that is FPS friendly. No unicorns!!! Rain effects. More realistic engine sounds. The full finished product being FREE!! (Okay...that may be stretching it a bit!!) Martin Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Given MS's announcement that they are taking back control of FSX, then I guess 2020 will be a development of this. It would certainly explain the short time between announcement and release deadline. It might mean that P3D becomes a blind alley. If the mass market way ahead is MS FS2020 then Lockheed may stop supporting the £50 version that amounts to a mass market version of P3D. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I wouldn't be averse to that, so long as there's a way to migrate back P3D assets. Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_A 997 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Nah, that's only a partial implementation. We need to see the full circle... And unicorns! Link to post Share on other sites
Tristarcaptain 282 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I guess the whole idea is to make things realistic and true to life. So, the world order has changed since FSX...how about missions to take out active shooters at schools and airports....??? (and of course, Unicorns!!) Link to post Share on other sites

hlminx 301 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Instant Replay - i hear it is in the 'Backlog' Helicopters - i'd love the Osprey to make a comeback as i loved flying that in ATWC Better ATC - a) more varied voices across the world b) responses to 7700 and 7500 Liveries - There are going to be a LOT of the same aircraft up in the air in Multiplayer More/Better training options - 8 training sessions is a bit feeble... they could have at least re-used some of the FSX training Not quite into Unicorns, i have to say, but a 'Put your face on the pilot' ... not quite like putting the tail on the donkey, but i'd love to be able to slap my face on the virtual pilot just for fun Edited August 16, 2020 by hlminx Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, having recently moved to P3D, and not really having my skirt blown up, i think my P3D days are numbered (probably on the toes of one foot!). My Aerosoft A318-20 is probably the only thing i am likely to use on that platform going forward. I'm just glad that i 1) didn't have to re-buy Orbx for P3D, and 2) that i didn't stick my hand in my pocket for A2A's 172!! Edited August 16, 2020 by hlminx Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 P3Dv5 is a dog. I very much regret buying it, and quickly went back to v4.5. Worst thing is, nobody wants to own (or in some cases even acknowledge) the problems. I MAY look at it again next time there's an update, but don't hold your breath. Meanwhile, I've thrown down on the preorder for 2020. Will it replace P3Dv4 as my sim of choice? We shall soon find out.... BTW, beware of the latest release of FlightGear, modelling its packaging to look very close to Microsoft's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) The files are not accessible like any normal window files. Most are hidden or kept on the MSFS mainframe back in the USA. You can not access aircraft files to paint them. I am trying to find out if the 6 disk set from Aerosoft places all the files as normal onto your computer and not treat it as a APP like the download.

mutley 4,498 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi James. The resulting installation is the same from the DVDs. You should be able to see a familiar folder setup as per FSX, they are in a hidden folder under users/yourname/appdata/local/Microsoft/packages.. if you navigate this far you should find the sim. I cannot look it up at the mo as I am away in a very nice hotel in Sussex! Link to post Share on other sites
