>1 More missions and aircraft>1 More helicopter typesI'm suprised that only one person voted for more aircraft and helicopters (and kinda disappointed). Those is a must in my book!

wow those are all pretty good, but i kind a like how every one complains on how hard fs is to run on computers, and how heavy it is on gpu and cpu, and there is nothing on the list that deals with this.like cpu optomiziation, better game programing, less area polys, better gpu usage, better usage of memory and stuff like that

Yes, interesting wish list. In my opinion, the Wish List is just that, and not necessarily a to-do list. For a wish list, you can ask for the sun, moon, and stars. For a to-do list, you ask for the most practical thing that can be remedied. Nothing wrong with including to-do items in a wish list, although you can't expect everyone to agree with your priorities.Some time ago, in an art circle of friends that I knew, there was a big, big controversy over a film about Frida Kahlo, a famous Mexican artist who had a turbulent, sad life. People were jumping all over this film, criticizing it because it could never do justice to the life of the artist (who died in the 1950s, so we never even met her), that the casting was terrible (Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina), that there was a conspiracy against homosexuals in the making of this film, that there was a conspiracy that was pro-homosexual in the making of this film, that the writing was poor, that the cinematography would never make the paintings come to life, and so on. It was a pretty silly debate, although it was argued very angrily and with great passions on all sides. What I think made the argument silly and pointless was that these people were denigrating the merits of a film, doing so using a public forum (in this case a series of newspapers), and not only had none of them actually seen the film, the film had yet to be released for another four months.FS11 is much more than four months away. Is there any useful value at this time in attacking ACES over their percieved choices in the development of their new product? I'm just glad there will be an FS11. I remember a time when it seemed like the whole MSFS thing would be cut short at FS9.Jeff ShylukSenior Staff Reviewer, Avsim

Hi Jeff,Could you explain what you mean by:"Is there any useful value at this time in attacking ACES over their perceived choices in the development of their new product?"Re WOZ

You jest, but it is sadly true. FS11 will bring us more missions, better DX10 implementation and better multi-core performance but really that's probably it. The improved DX10 implemenation could actually cover a lot of those wishlist items but even then I don't think ACES plans on trying to improve performanc while also doing a major graphics overhaul.

I like the comparison you make with making a movie. Most good movies have in common that they are made with a director with a strong vision. He calls all the shots, makes most decisions and delivers at the end 1 movie thats true to his vision and a complete experience.With FS-X I somehow get the idea that its designed by committee. It has to fit so many usertypes and has to do so many things for other parts of the company (Flagship game, DX10 showcase). But in my opinion it misses out on vision and soul.I hope the FS-XI team gets strong leadership and builds an FS version that is filled with vision and provides a new way forward for the franchise.My own idea (not an official wishlist item!) FS-XI MMOFSG edition (Massively Multiplayer Flight Sim Game). We would get several living worlds (divded by era and/or playing style). FS-XI just acts as a client. ATC, traffic, weather, events, etc are done on the game servers. There wil be events and missions like find Amelia Earharts plane, deliver goods/post/passengers. You can fly with friends and with (or against) NPA's (non player aircraft). Of course it will be subscription based but you are then guaranteed updates and new content.BTW the movie you mention is great I loved it.

Interesting idea-I like it! Interfacing with real world streamed Sat. data (that will probably have all 4 seasons and resolution to the inch in a couple years), populated with real cities with accurately placed buildings(like google earth has now in many cities), with live actual real atc (you can get live commercial atc moving over google earth now-ga coming soon).Right now seems like a point of change, and possibly blending the ability to run in the old way/new way, much the way gps displays in real aircraft have both vector charts and live scanned ones.Ditto on the movie-her husband's works are quite present where I live.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpgForum Moderatorhttp://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

Somehow you lost my suggestion:No more "texture roads" - only real roads. Redevelop autogen to appear according to the real roads.This will stop the total mis-mash of overlapping real and fake texture roads as it stands at the moment, which looks really cr@p.

I understand the desire to have some appearance of roads where there is coverage from the vector data, but it does make a lot of places I fly look worse.
