A proper, worldwide high definition mesh of at least 4.78meters. For example: Check out Ball's Pyramid near Lord Howe Island and compare with what you get when you fire up P3D with FS Global installed. 

Look at the Matterhorn, fly through the Dolomites, or Australia for that matter. Bing's mesh is just too lowres.

Loads of airports are missing because the algorithm didn't recognize them and human intervention failed.

Shared cockpit multiplayer. I don't know what the current latency is of MP but it looks doable. And if planes/panels get better over time, it would be nice to take up friends who aren't as novice yet and teach them.

Camera look

FSX | DCS | X-Plane 11 | MSFS 2020 | IL2:BoX

Favorite aircraft currently: MSFS Savage Cub

Shared cockpit multiplayer, yes because right now we allready have fun in Multiplayer flying,

would love to fly just one plane togheter, this would rock.

Missing:

Historical weather, access to enroute weather data on Live weather, forecasts
Weather radar
Flight planning tools other than route planning--fuel, time, winds, etc
Scenery tools that allow corrections to airfield features (e.g. ADE)
AI traffic with appropriate liveries and operating on representative schedules
ATC alternatives to the caricature of ATC in the base sim
EFB applications
Moving map programs
Helicopters
Quality nav gauge plugins (e.g. F1/RXP Garmins)
Remote CDU applications like Aviasoft Remote CDU
Access to nav/comm data
Custom ground handling (e.g. GSX)
View manager utlities

As I suspected from screenshots all along CLOUD SHADOWS are missing!

I'm confused, cloud shadows on the ground are already present...🤨

I did not buy it, only looked at user videos and the buildings look the same everywhere. There are no churches at all, lot of bridges are missing. The satellite ground shows it well. It looks odd, a bridge going through the ground of the valley. Something of course addons can fix. I have them for P3D and so what shall I do with MSFS at the moment.

The flight model also looks very unrealistic, arcade like.

I think they promised a lot more, than they actually delivered. I was always a critical observer and I was pretty sure, this is not going to be what they put into our brains. That has nothing to do with the suspiciously short beta time. Some bugs will be fixed, but the sim will not be better in 7 months. 

 

OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons)
Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft

what the heck are you talking about, i have cloudshadows.

maybe you need to up them to high?

Oh yes, maybe a helo, not that I've ever used them much in other sims, but it would be a nice inclusion. Of course, there are some places only a helo can land, so yeah, I'd go for that.

The Caribbean needs the lack of truly represented coral reefs taken care of (this may be the case around the world).  Places like the Bahamas don't look as rich as they do in real life without this being addressed.

Weather radar

Is not missing. The G1000 planes have one that goes even beyond what the real G1000 Weather overlay can do.

Ok I missed this.  The default G1000 in FS2020 have weather radar? 🤨

Yes, that is what I just said. 😉

The sim is lacking effects such as water spray, condensation , contrails etc.
