Hope we don't have to lean our piston turbo charged engines in the climb to maintain power anymore. That and bit more realistic ground friction.

A proper jet engine model for startups, windmilling, high altitude, correct egt, epr, n1 readings and behavior etc.  The same for turboprops as well.  Edge of the envelope aerodynamics as well because that's what is so hard to program right now, its easy to make an addon meet published rate of climb and fuel burn, but not easy to make it behave the way it should at high altitude with either high or low speeds or stall conditions.  

So true! DCS was renowned for its fluid flight dynamics. IL-2 Sturmovick was renowned for its damage modeling (especially with regards to aerodynamic loading causing part failure). Both these sims have aged over a decade. There's no reason why we can't see a decade of improvement in MSFS2020.

Whatever the case, we'll know very soon what we're getting as far as aerodynamics.

I forget which past sim (Propilot rings a bell) had the feature where you could lose engine power and maybe even flame out if flying through heavy rain/storms etc..

I know PSX models it.

I would love to see the big jets maintaining a level turn with the Autopilot engaged using the elevators rather than the Stab trim all the time.

We have seen a very realistic spin video already but I would like to see some more variations of stalls, also some slips and skids would be nice.

Most important for me personally would be some aerobatic flying. Take that beautiful CAP10 and do some snap rolls (positive and negative), hammerheads, tailslides, tumbles and a perfect rolling circle (ok, admittedly, that one ist only about the flying skills of the test pilot, not really about aerodynamics). I am expecting a lot here from Asobo, since the french are the current world champions of unlimited aerobatics...!

Edge of the envelope flying is what I'm most interested in right now. Not even those expensive Level-D Sims get it right.

Well there's your answer.

 

I'd like an in depth explanation of how the new flight model and ground physics model works with a visual representation of the aerodynamics and airflows in action

I always preferred a landing strip.

Will some of the 1000 aerodynamics reference points cover the floats of a floaplane  for a better simulation of the drag they induce ?

If it covers the tires for the different terrain types, I bet it's possible to do the same with the water, and as the water is really volumetric and affected by the wind and atmospheric conditions, would be a real shame not using it to improve water operations.

I mean, Flying Wild Alaska!

I was thinking of the drag in the air and the reduced maneuverability due to the floats which is not a strong point of the present flight modeling.

But you're right I hope  to see at last some realistic water ops

Well, about that I'm pretty sure it will be covered. The devs already said when the gears are down it would affect the physics or any other surfaces (like extra fuel tanks or skis!?) would also affect the aircraft behavior. 

But we still have to see if it will depend on the sim engine or it will be implemented for each plane individually. If the second, we would still rely on the airplane devs to do a good work on that matter. I'm hoping the sim engine can read/see the surfaces and the do the work accurately.

And to follow up on  the OP request, I hope that Asobo will give us some hints about the floatplane ops in Ep#3.

How could they say so, by feeling during the test flights?

Any proof or is it just wishful thinking? 

 

I was talking to a few devs/streamers who I know at Cosford..... they were blown away by it all.
