An altitude knob in the G58, that's the main one for me.

The flight model also looks very unrealistic, arcade like.

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

This. Can't believe no one else mentioned this. Pretty much zero particle effects.

Passenger/pilot doors, and cargo doors that open and close as in previous MS sims with default aircraft -  I mean, we have animated ground crews walking around, plus all kinds of airport vehicles in motion:  But no animated doors?  Com'on Asobo!

Already confirmed as on the todo list of the developers. 

Another sign that someone forced them to rush this out of the door.

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

All three airliners also have functioning weather radar. The problem at the moment is that any mid-size or larger cumulus cloud will be detected and displayed on the radar in orange or red. A real radar only detects clouds containing precipitation, and the precipitation has to to be quite intense for the radar to display it in orange or red.

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

maybe you need to up them to high?

Sorry I'm not sure what settings I changed but confirmed you are all correct! Cloud shadows are working as expected. Also somehow got real world / live weather to appear in USA. Seems that the weather is older (like maybe 2-3 hours behind?) but at least I was able to get that working at least for this session...

Yes, that is what I just said. 😉

How do you access it?  I'll look the next time I'm in there but I'm amazed once again this made it into the default gauge.

OPENING AIRCRAFT DOORS.   I almost forgot this one... We should always have an option to open the doors.

Not being able to request the closest metar

Planes should have their individual profiles

I listed the biggest missed opportunities in a detailed entry here but to summarize:

- Main airports. They promised "depart from any airport in the world". My base airport (5th biggest city in Spain, 2 runways with international flights and B747 operating) is neither listed nor modeled (no runways when flying above). I depart from it routinely on XPlane without any trouble.

- Google Maps 3D / Google Earth quality scenery: I was expecting that from the promotional videos, but I found autogen++ instead, with made-up buildings, rivers not running on valleys, flooded streets and footpaths that look like highways. Terribly disappointed in many places I have tried. Honestly, I would have preferred good quality 2D orthophotos that what they delivered.

- Voice ATC (meaning pilot can talk to ATC): missed opportunity desired by many. Pressing a button to do a readback or request something to ATC seems like a joke in 2020, where people have Google Assistant on the phone, Echo/Alexa at home, and Cortana on Windows.

- VR: It will come, they say, but it's not here. Once you've played in VR, anything else looks like a toy game.

Three more months of development time.

This sounds like what I had when the sim stopped streaming real world content.  I posted this in another thread that Bandwidth in this sim is very important.  The sim will opt for FSX default type scenery if your connection is slow.

As for your home airport your government might not want it simulated.  I heard of this before.

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?

I'm stunned when I go to the various airports I frequent and choose a specific departure location I'm seeing so few gates and ramps that are present in P3D.  What they heck?

This has absolutely nothing to do with goverments not wanting it simulated.

It has everything to do with the developers relying on an algorithm to spot where Airports are and then going in and handcrafting the layout.

If the AI does miss the airport, because the imagery in Bing is either of too low quality or deliberatly censored by Bing, then human intervention is not happening.

If they had worked with spreadsheets and Georeferenced coordinates instead, this wouldn't have happened.
