What's missing in MSFS?

We're missing airports - and I'm not talking about grass strips either.

That is amazing considering how long the massive dbase of airports has been around.  I'm shocked most gate/ramp locations are missing even on big terminals.

I am missing grey roads and streets.

So many of them are green and its not always easy to recognize them.

When I first heard it could be installed for Xbox players, I cringed.  I thought this new MS FS product would be somewhat "dumbed-down" for a much younger age group who probably were never really  that interested in flight sim except for combat scenarios.  

Then I saw the first videos from Asobo and those that followed, and all the promising updates.  I was really excited and optimistic.  But now:  Meh.  I think It's going to take many months of work by the Asobo team to include missing features,  and to fix all the bugs for most of us to say "This is finally the sim I've been waiting for"!

It's already there.

Use the "set pause on" and "set pause off" commands. That will give you a real pause.

 

 

 

Nope.
Pause the sim with the "pause on" button in the morning and you'll see the sunset few hours later 🙂

outside view I'd like to pan using the hat switch rather than use the Right button Mouse. Right now I have to use the Joystick, the key board and Mouse to basic fly.

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?

Jose

Instant Replay!!!

Yep, I'm noticing it in FSeconomy, the crazy thing is that the navaids for those airports are there in many occasions, the satellite image is showing the runways and buildings are 3d modeled, but the AP is not on the map.

What’s missing........? Patience from a good many. Considering it is basically day one, it is an extraordinary product all ready. And it will only get better and grow.  No sim has come this good out of the box. Personally, I am waiting for VR. But it’ll come in due course 🙂

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

OK, I found that.  Unfortunately it paints simple low puffy cumulus clouds as storm cells, so it's not particularly useful.

In case nobody has mentioned it already:

I looked around among the default files, and there is a folder for the clouds and they have Altocumulus, Altostratus, Cumulonimbus Calvus, Cumulonimbus Incus, Cumulus Congestus, Cumulus Humilis, Cumulus Mediocris, Towering Cumulus, Nimbostratus, Stratocumulus and Stratus.

What is missing are Cirrus, Cirrocumulus and Cirrostratus.

Lot of things are missing, for example... the ability to save different graphic configurations...

Intel i9 - GPU RTX 3080 - 32 gig RAM HyperX Fury DDR 4

1) At least the option to download the Ortho at a higher res, heck I'd even pay a small monthly fee to do so.

2) Lightning bolts close up looks like someone created them in MS paint with a 100 pixel brush

3) Precipitation is unrealistically light, even flying into a mass of thunderstorms sometimes there is no rain, or very light rain

4) Water sometimes looks very grainy and has a shimmering line like effect over the waves when flying at certain angles

5) Moving Maps, Fix Plane RPM and basic Climb/Descend Physics (worse on some than others)

6) Everything else people already named previously...

ATC alternatives to the caricature of ATC in the base sim

Here's an example of the baffling ATC. Maybe this make sense to somebody, but I certainly haven't ever been directed to do this. I did get even, though. Since I couldn't figure out what to do, I switched to full AI control of the aircraft. Otto indeed did an ILS 01 approach perfectly until right after he intersected the glideslope. At that point he put the gear down and the aircraft went 90 degree nose down and crashed. I suppose I'll read about on the evening news.
