A useless spot in the Sim's main menu, where everyone could put the shortcut they want

I propose a shortcut to close the menu

MS Flight had Wet Floor Signs in the PHKO terminal, I suggest in MSFS we have custodians with mops to keep them sparkling terminals and that hanger...uh....um sparkling. 🚮🤡

Smell-o-vision. I want the odor of burning oil wafting into the cockpit from the engines when firing up a DC-3 or a Connie. The smell of Avgas when fueling a turboprop. The scent of an Alpine forest when landing and exiting a helicopter up in the mountains. The smell of my co-pilot farting (or barfing) after a heavy party the night before. So many possibilities for deep immersion, especially in VR... (the following from Wiki)

In 2005, researchers from the University of Huelva developed XML Smell, a protocol of XML that can transmit smells. The researchers also developed a scent-generating device and worked on miniaturising its size.[9] Also in 2005, Thanko launched P@D Aroma Generator, a USB device that comes with 3 different cartridges for different smells.[10]

In 2005, Japanese researchers announced that they are working on a 3D television with touch and smell that would be commercially available on the market by the year 2020.[11]

Sunglasses waiting on the pilot seat. If you don't pick them up before you sit down you break them and you are blind by the sun the entire flight.

God, we really need an update...

This is genius

Customised bars and diners for the 3D avatars to visit for refreshments. This could be a global freeware project....

What about a full coffee mug to check your coordination in flying  tight turns ?

Bug splats accumulating on the windscreen (not so new), but with the need to clean them off wiping with your mouse pointer for, say, 2 minutes 🙂

A little mirror behind the sun visor (like in a car) where female pilots can check their look (best with a live view from a webcam on your display). Male pilots know without that they're looking cool 🤩
