Good and constructive thread.

I decided to create this thread just as a reminder of what an imperfect sim MSFS2020 is in its current state. I hope that ASOBO is reading this and that some of the ideas and requests are noted and make them come to fruition. They have a decade to make them happen!

• Make sure you can adjust controllers sensitivity
• Make able to pop up instruments to 2nd screen

These 2 can be done.

There a number of threads for both them

Oh, didn't know that, can you send me a link to those? I'm pretty sure it is not possible to pop out the instruments (MFD for example) to seperate window.

What type of performance were you getting?

The best answer I can give you is "NOT smooth."

Watch some videos on YT and you will see stutters, pauses, and slow panning.

Those are examples of what I saw on my screen.

Open cockpit displays in separate window (press your right hand Alt key (Alt Gr) and hover over the PFD, MFD, autopilot screen etc. A magnifying glass will show up. Click it to open the display in a new, resizable and moveable window)

Controls Setup (links to a Squirrel video, also details sensitivity)

Wow thanks mate! I'll try those first thing when I open the sim today, thanks a lot.

Navigation that works correctly. Flight planning that could be more involved.

1. The ability to scrape ice off your plane once you've landed.
2. The ability to swap between normal sound and headphone simulated sound whilst in flight.

Hmm - looking at Swedish AFB:s that does not seem true in Bing (pixeallation of military AFBs). I had a look at F7 Såtenäs in Sweden - where interestingly enough there are two F-18:s on the day of the satellite photo 🙂

Have a look here - isn't that two F-18s and a Gripen on that line - and is that a Spitfire next to the Hornets? Finnish AF on visit?

Zoom left and then up from that location - They have the Swedish AF historic flight on that base as well - so an interesting line up of old aircraft on the others lines this day - Two Viggens, a J-35 Draken, J-34 Hawker Hunter, J-32 Lansen, J-29 Tunnan, J-28 DH Vampire and more... Feels like and airshow is about to happen? 

 

Bing and Google do not blurred out military bases unless requested. From my understanding, individuals and organizations can request to have items blurred / pixelated out.  This applies to both Google and Bing. These items includes everything from individual homes, airports, prisons, government and military buildings, and even whole countries. look at Israel in both Google Earth and Bing. Once you zoom in, there is some pixilation and the individual buildings are hard to distinguish from each other. I have not purchased MSFS yet but I wonder how Israel looks with the all the less than suitable pixelated resolution.

Here is a link to a google article about the subject:

Thanks - and looking att Stuttgart airport in Bing, they have obviously requested to be "pixelated". And thus they are not included in MSFS

Both Google and Bing (Microsoft) are headquartered in the United States, and as such, I don’t believe they are legally obligated to honor requests to blur content in foreign countries, but they may voluntarily choose to comply with such requests for the sake of good business relations with the country in question. As has been noted, Bing does blur many German airports with military components, while Google does not.

Oh boy, this list could get big quick.

You said it...I just mentioned in another thread that in 30 years of supporting this series I've never seen a new version release with as many glaring issues and omissions as this one.

Sign of the times and what the market is willing to put up with these days, I suppose. But I'm no sheep 🙂

There a number of threads for both them

negative for me, putting a pop out on the second screen is unusable and put's my aircraft in an uncontrolable freefall.

These may be duplicates but I sure would like to contribute my main issues:

My highest priorities:
- CTDs fixed
- Stutter free performance
- Proper multi-monitor (multi-perspective) support

Then:
- Twitchy controls fixed
- Autopilot fixes
- VFR obstacles represented in the scenery, towers, power lines, etc
- Popout gauges/GPS windows
- ATC fixed, proper IFR vectoring
- The ground commands (pushback,etc.) decoupled from ATC, one time I was in a pushback and couldn't stop it due to the frequency being too busy
- Airport database fixed (missing airports, missing runways, missing ILS markers, taxiway names, etc.)
- Change flight plans at any time / enroute 
 

 

So much goodness in this Thread! If we can even get half of this stuff done over the next year it would be amazing!  But agreed the CTDs / AP  should be top on the list.
