Even when I play competitive games, I don't care about leaderboards. Putting leaderboards in a noncompetitive game? Really? What will they show? Who can make the most passengers puke?Actually, that one might be fun.
Who is meeting the challenges and finding the caches etc. I will bet you right now that people will compete to be the first to fly around the world if they are recognized for it.
We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. But I have seen posts intimating that skipping ahead was sort of cheating, and I never really understood the reasoning behind that.
I don't quite get that comparison either - now in a job, you will get penalized bonus points by using skip.

I would not mind seeing autopilot someday, but when there are really long distances we can fly - I currently cannot think of a flight I could do in Hawaii where I felt the need to use an autopilot.
Big Island to Kauai in rough weather is enough for me to wish for one. Just simple Heading Hold and Altitude Hold functions would be fine.

I voted for ATC services - even limited would be some sign of life...I voted for traffic..AI flights and maybe some bird noises to go with the blowing wind - the little cars can stay gone - useless FPS eatersI voted for instant replay - something in game that you could assign a start stop record button to - and that would auto record any achievement flight...I have a bulbous ego and like to watch myself win

One thing this game doesn't need much improvement on is the sound. If you sit in a Maule with the door open and move the ailerons, you'll hear them squeaking a bit. Talk about detail!

You should turn the engine off and play with the controles on the Stearman. The thing squeaks more then a touble dryer full of rats!

I vote trackIR support first, before anything else, because that's what will make me go back to Flight or just carry on with all my other sim which have trackIR.Then, I would have voted "Ability to modify and design for Flight". MS wants to regulate the payware market and need time for that, fine, but let us tinker with the sim, let us design freeware content, scenery, planes etc - long before I touched any payware I was always drawn to MS Flight Simulator by the ability to try lots of freeware planes, scenery and even do my own. Actually, since we're on AVSIM, that's exactly what made me discover AVSIM in the first place! And I know that this was the way my friends found AVSIM in the first place as well. This freedom was a major "plus" for the franchise. It was not only "fly where you want", it was "fly in what you want" and if it didn't exist, it was "make what you want and share it". I think we lost a lot by losing this philosophy. Now we find ourselves threatened of breaching the EULA and getting banned from Live if we dare to tinker with Flight... Even free to play sims like Rise of Flight opened the doors to modding early on and it didn't kill the sim - basic modding would be a good start.Then, yes please ATC, a living world, more systems including autopilot, etc.

Sad, how come real and customizable weather is not on there, that's number 1 priority in my honest opinion.-lk

IMHO without TrackIR support, no other improvement really matters.
+1 same here, no sense investing in more DLC purchases if not able to enjoy it long term.

+1 here as well, big time.I am certainly having a lot of fun with Flight, as it obvious by many of my posts here, however with each successful flight I find myself missing it more and more. And I have 5 other titles on this pc, installed and ready to go at a moment's notice, that do have Track IR support.Too often during a flight I find myself thinking, man Track IR would be awesome at this moment...I am a little surprised that so far it has 30 votes while the leader has 63 votes - little less than half of those voting so far. I guess not a bad number depending on how you look at it though, almost 50%. I would have thought maybe more of the folks here had the device as well...Ain't it cool how the better graphics is such a low number? Who whoulda thunk it with a flight sim release by MS...

With currently 87 people voting, that's only a bit over a third that want TrackIR.Hook

Why you trying to pack these things into DLC? This features in poll should not be, and cant be in any of DLC package, god this is service updates, if we should pay for that, flight is on a very wrong path.

This is what the poll says:"What Improvements would you most like to see in the base MS FLIGHT game?"Nothing there about DLC.Hook

Suprizingly, I have seen a lot of request for autopilot but the lack of a GPS for navigation is almost never noted on this forum. Personnally, I would prefer a functionnal GPS (not only a moving map like in the Icon). This could open the way to all kind of others interesting approaches.

P3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...
C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...
