What's missing in MSFS?

[CFIJose 5,485]

For those of you who have FS2020 working smoothly and feel that there's something missing, what is it?

I was one of the unfortunate ones who could not get decent performance with my i7 2600K, Titan Pascal, 32GIGS of RAM, SSD, and 1080P monitor.

Does FS2020 has what was missing on all previous sims, or just another platform that needs a lot of work and 3rd party support?

Oh boy, this list could get big quick.

I'll start with metric altimetry/weight/volume! How was this omitted?

I'll leave the rest up to others.

There remains alot of room for improvement and additions ofcourse, for me, i would like to see

1) Replay mode

2) Metric units

3) Saving custom landmarks (areas) of your choosing.

4) Addition of radio towers / power lines etc.

5) Water masking and texture, (Does not look like anything from the trailers).

6) Fix autopilots

7) improve performance

Having a plausible representation of the wind in Live Weather.

Feature-wise, a replay mode. MFS will reach its full status as a simulator when a replay mode is implemented.

Interested also if you are missing favorite add-ons that enhance your flight sim experience.

On the optimistic side before I would upgrade FSX/P3d all of the "essentials" would need to be ready or I'd hold off (FSUIPC,ActiveSky,Chaseplane,Traffic package etc) I'm enjoying MSFS2020 as is even with what will be listed here in this thread as lacking; IMO that's worth noting.

I don't care for the unrealistic "Crash" when you over speed in a dive for .5 seconds.

I do miss not having Air Hauler and more complex aircraft.

Also remember, it's widely acknowledged the sim was released 3-6 months before it was ready. Most of the really bad omissions/broken items will get fixed within this time frame.

Cockpit pan not just side views with my honeycomb yoke

No they're not. Or am I misunderstanding?

Why not just program your hat switch to pan? I don't pan much because I use track IR but I did program one of the hat switches on my Gladiator stick to Pan the view with. It's the Camera>Cockpit Camera view> Cockpit Look....Settings you want to use.

I'm not craving anything at all currently, as it's all here as default for my purposes. I just muck around in GA with bush flying, so I'm like a pig in s poo. I might look at a nicely modelled Cub if one came up. I'm getting smooth, stable performance, with no messing, tweaking or fiddling, and that is a first, so, if I never spent another penny on this I would be content.

What! there are cloud shadows 🙂 Don't know where you got that idea from.

I miss the display of airspaces in the Garmins. Or am I missing something?
