Even better, display an entire empty cabin (no passengers are ever modelled), but showing some open functional overhead bins and the ability to play about 200 different YouTube videos all at once on each of the seat back monitors. All passenger seats modelled to recline. Now that would be useless...

Also, add the appropriate sun glare reflecting off the screens nearest to that one person who keeps their window blind partially open (sometimes me) to look out of the window as the world goes by.

That should eat up more resources.

LOL !!! Even better, display an entire empty cabin (no passengers are ever modelled)! you're right, totally useless,lol. But lets have the ability for the Captain to use the bathroom, and clog it up, causing an odor that comes through the mic on your headphones. Useless??

I have seen some useless threads in forums before but this is probably the most useless so far.😁

So to add to the uselessness, "A horse walked into a hangar",...….

Thank you.

A horse walked into a bar, bartender asked "why the long face?" Sorry, I am having fun with this "useless" forum. Haven't laughed like this in awhile!! It kind of diverts my anxiety over the next MS sim.

Thanks for the humor!!

You know what ? 15 years ago, on a similar thread, somebody could have said : why not having a stewardess bringing some beverage to you on these long flights, asking you « tea or coffee » ? Or what about a medical emergency forcing to an early landing ?

Everybody would have laughed at him, useless! ridiculous! Now we love our Captain Of The Ship, don’t we ? 

So what is useless and (slightly) ludicrous today could a feature of tomorrow, who knows  😈 ?

Metal scanner detectors and drug test before every flight. Waiting for 1 hour before reaching the airplane (In the best case).

What about an Avatar with your own face and build ?

Also, there should be a version with a swimming suit (I leave to the lady simmers the choice of a bikini or of a one-piece bathing suit) so we can have a little swim around our floatplane.

I second this request.  I like to fly vintage aircraft in vintage conditions, which means I have to ignore modern cities and such, but that's not so hard.  It's easier to ignore the GPS.  Make it 1935 to 1965 or so.  1970+ is too modern for my tastes. 😄

Actually, take it back to about 1920 so we can fly airmail.  In open cockpit biplanes.  At night.  With no more navigation aid than lighted beacons every 10 miles or so.  No modern road network but you can follow the rail lines.

I posted this few weeks ago. That may help !

I want an exquisitely modeled lawn mower so that we can cut a perfect cross-hatch pattern on the new Real Grass HDtm.

I suggest when MSFS is released this thread should have its own place for members who don't fly very much but will give them something to do, should be very popular. 😁
