I find your kind and generous offer both refreshing and encouraging.I've always missed moving headlights on the roadways at night. I've always wondered why this feature disappeared after FS2000 and never came back. It must be very difficult to do because even after several posts I've seen on various forums about this missing feature, no one seems to be able to figure it out.The ultimate for me would be roadway, railway and possibly sea traffic both day and night possibly controlled and adjusted via a utility program of some sort. But even moving lights at night would add to the "As real as it gets" dimmension for me.

"I'd like a wysiwyg utility tied to FS, like AFCAD, that would be used to create either exclude areas or flatten areas. I'd like to be able to draw a freeform bounding box and create the exclude/flatten file based on that box. I think this would be amazingly useful for both scenery developers and casual users who just want to fix anomalies in their own sim."I second Eric's request, great Idea!!! I would modify it very slightly and add the ability to possibly change the landclass in a small area if that is feasable.Hornit

...some kind of radio utility that would allow the sim pilot to check ATIS at the destination city. As it now stands you have to be too close to the airport to make any kind of meaningfull runway choice decisions ahead of time.The VFF pilot anyway.Thanks for your grand offer anyway.Regards,Don Schaaf

I like what Project Magenta is doing with its GA IFR panel and some of its heavy panels. They run so much more smoothly outside MSFS on a second computer than will ever be accomplished within MSFS. My only complaint is we are completely at the mercy of the PM group as to the type of planes we fly. It would be nice to have a program that allowed you to design your own panels with an extensive library of gauges to please almost everyone.David

Hi David, Christmas is here early then! As smooth as PM without any Network Lag problem (if any), all within the FS sim, including the Virtual Cockpit, with a large choice of avionics to retrofit any panel (many already offered in the community), for GA aircrafts, Turbo props and Jets:www.reality-xp.comMerry Christmas!Hope this helps!

Jean Luc,Thank you for the tip! I own everything reality-xp has produced including Jetline 2 and Jetline 4 and you are right that they are pretty smooth. Still, though, it means my FS CPU has to drive the additional monitors that I would put them on which does impact performance. I do not believe any of the reality-xp addons run on a separate computer although FSGarmin used to (different company, now gone). The other problem with multiple panels within FS running on multiple monitors is that MS ruined multi monitor support with FS9 (my only real complaint about the package). I'll keep hoping Santa delivers something like this but I'm guessing it will be a year or two in the making! Thanks!David

I agree 100%.Michael J.

Another serious proposal that has not been made yet: a tool that generates random but sensible general aviation AI traffic. I have thought of writing something like that myself, but I currently don't have the time for that (close to my final exams). There are several freeware and payware addons that offer lots of commercial traffic, but little is available in regard to GA traffic. There are so many deserted fields in the FS world, I'd love to see more traffic around them!VOlker :]

A persistant damge util that can run on any plane in your library that also has the option of uploading peoples damge configertions for relistic damge behavour....(ARRGE what a mouthful that was)

I miss FSNav's 'Move tower view to here'. I do have Active Camera which provides some kind of alternative, but it isn't as flexible.I imagine after a landing pausing the sim, going to the top-down view, clicking somewhere to position the tower view and then dragging to define the view direction, and maybe a little dialog box appears to type in the viewpoint height. Then you would go to tower view, start instant replay and watch your landing. Of course it would also need an option to lock the view direction to your aircraft. This would also open up possibilities of airplane spotting in the sim. Nice if you have Ultimate Traffic or MyTraffic.Paul

Merry Christmas all!If at all possible, i would like tp see a flashing green taxiway centerline, instead of the odd pink one, when taxiing to the gate or holding.Jan"Procul Negotiis"

Of the above, I am strongly in favour of:1) The shadow removal when cloudy fix;2) The Tower view movement utility fix3) Taxi Speed fixCheersM

I want to talk to ATC with my own voice. I would like to an utility that would link any of the Voice Recognizion software to MSFSim9 ATC Response...That would be way too cool.:)
