1. ATC

2. Reliable live and historic weather.

3. Stop the regression with every update. (Current stutters come to mind.)

Another thing - the night lighting, so that roads out in the middle of nowhere don't have street lighting all the way along them. I'll also join the ATC and AI chorus.

Give us a spot view in external view where I can zoom in and out without introducing the fisheye lens distortion. 
There is great detail to the scenery, but the view - even with the clear skies preset - has a greatly exaggerated blue/green haze. I know some praise this as realistic and immersive but in fact it detracts from MSFS’s enhanced scenery capabilities. The haze is too much. 

Vegetation types are wrong, limited in types, and there is just too much of it and its too tall.  Really kills immersion.  

AI and ATC are a given....  

1. Camera's - Chaseplane specifically. MSFS camera system is unusable, for me.

2. AI

3. Weather - Active Sky please.

1) Flight planning map: schematic representation of weather, filters for specific navaid types, display of airways, ability to set waypoint altitude, and NOT resetting the flightplan at random

2) View system: ability to set zoom levels permanently for all camera's, allowing for a uniform picture when changing views

3) Force feedback support, more specifically the simulation of trim forces. While there are a few 3rd party addons for this, their functionality is limited.

4) UI design: additional keyboard commands (e.g. Complete Item in checklist), setting callsign/registration for individual aircraft

5) Editable logbook

 

If I had to pick only one: not resetting my *@%! flightplan at random

For me, historical weather and I'd seriously consider using it.  

Just two things for me:

1) Improve live weather with more type of clouds, wind gusts, reduced visibility

2) Make a complete overhaul to ground physics: at the moment taking off or landing with crosswind feels odd to say the least and it's almost impossibile to do with some aircrafts

Sorry, but I don't understand "historical weather".  What is it?

Reduced visibility in live weather mode. Fed up of flying in almost infinite visibility.

Is there anything we can modify in any of the asobo files to reduce the visibility or increase the haze whilst in live weather mode?

Get XP, you will get nothing but haze, everywhere.

Well, although ASOBO's work on weather physics and rendering hasn't finished, and they have already announced some upcoming updates that are really promising, I must confess that most of the time I get realistic visibility effects, sometimes really close to what I see reported in the METAR.

I fly mostly in Europe, Iberian Peninsula. Sometimes I check that the Online Weather is active. A few times that I was getting somehow inconsistent results I noticef that it had "magically" turned offline.

For example, if you you're use your sim during daytime in NC and you want to fly somewhere in Asia/Oceania also during daytime, then you would get accurate Asian/Oceania daytime weather too with 'historical weather'. Currently, MSFS doesn't offer it.

And another pet peave:   the dawn/dusk sky even more so, but the night sky stars look like they are projected on to a dome, like a planetarium, they don't twinkle and do not give one a sense of depth at all.   I think it's good to have them vary according to nearfield sky haze etc but on crystal clear nights they just don't look like they are out there shining towards us they look projecte onto a surface.
