Reading so many good things about this sim and I know this has been covered, I'd like to add a couple small things I hope makes it in the default sim:

1. Serious Contrails - Seeing as with our sims today to get this to look realistic in the sky we need an add-on.  The effect can be so much better if it was in the sim by default.  Case in point the contrail effect in the real world only happens around the 31,000 to 41,000ft range,  they very depending on weather conditions, and the look of the default effort (FSX, FS9) is so much better than the third party solutions.  

2. Fly By view in the air - After realizing we can no longer get Active Camera (not sure of other solutions as I gave up on this), the need to have this in the sim became apparent.  It's much better than the tower view locked from you departing airport.

At least to your second point, I am 99% positive this is already in the sim.  I believe it was shown in the last video released a few days ago.

Fly by View is already in MSFS.

Here is a Nasa link on contrails.  https://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/contrail-edu/science.html  In there are some links with more info on when they form.  Might be interesting to see AI or other players in multiplayer create contrails, and persistent contrails.  Be really cool if the weather model already naturally does it as part of its general weather modeling.

My brother has Coronavirus, confirmed by testing. On 3/26 he almost didn't survive the night.  He had extreme trouble breathing and was given a steroid inhaler.  He was very weak, had nausea, and other issues that aren't pleasant.  As of this update he is feeling much better, and seems he will be fine.  Stay safe out there.  (Updated 4/6)

If the weather model is as sophisticated and organically driven as the current information suggests I'd be amazed if contrails weren't part of that.  

exciting times...
