I miss AI that can flare on touchdown. With decent tire smoke. That MSFS pancake landing really kills immersion. 

I miss the ability to communicate to other multiplayer's via the sim with the caps lock key and the ability to see multiplayer's on my connected Little nave map or GN750. With FSX and gamespy I was able to make friends all over the word with the ability to talk in the sim. The scenery is ofcourse much better now and many other features but for me I'm disappointed that they left those things out I mentioned.

I miss lots of things but a proper slew mode is among the top. Seriously, offensive initials not allowed were they thinking? It’s so much worse than any past version in the FS franchise.

The fly-by mode as compared to X-Plane.

I also would like to see a fly bye camera!

Missing Carenados bizjets might be a first hehe

Their C550 wasn't too bad.  I could go for that in msfs.

Also FSW is finalizing their Lear 35 for MSFS.

I would totally go for their C550 in MSFS - the very first bizjet I rode on IRL (I remember being warned/scolded NOT to go to the bathroom 🙂 ) and I loved it in XP11 snd P3D.

What I miss the most in MSFS is the AI traffic flying correct levels NOT 37600 feet… Very very annoying thing. The aircraft are all over the place on navigation display when it comes to levels.

Trains?  From where? Are they in other flight simulators?

Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

Yes. I remember seeing them in XP11. I never got XP12, so I can't confirm.

What I missed most, diminishing over three years, has been RXP GNS and GTN avoinics.  Yes, it has now pretty much caught up.  But over so much time when avionics were so much lacking, that is what I missed have most.

Maybe he meant for the MSFS franchise? Only trains I ever saw were from Paywarye like ORBX in FSX which was a frame killer in just a small area like out side of Seattle which made me completely turn off.

What I miss is a reliable Flyby view, Tower and replay mode that is not (sloppy) I don't wan't to use a drone just to look at POI's all day.

I reallly don’t miss anything but would be grateful to Microsoft for

- bringing back the sat imagery (geographic coverage, quality) and the weather depiction (clouds !)  to what they were at release and possibly improve upon them. 

- a continuous improvement of the Blackshark.ai algorithms to implant autogen and a further diversification of the latter.

- an user-driven effort to improve the UI in all aspects

I expect that a full train sim will be developed by Asobo for 24 or 28 and using the world that is FS. Hence I think that in multiplayer/online it will be the two simulations in one. So that if you are driving a train and you see an aircraft fly over it could be an actual simmer flying it.

Really if theres 2 things FS20 and FS24 should copy from X-Plane 12 its that games excellent view & replay system.

The FS20 menu UI is a hot clunky mess and feels like wading through quicksand.

There is an excellent free 3rd party recorder and replay system. Sky Dolly. Cannot recommend this enough!

I really miss a good regional jet (ERJ, E-Jet or CRJ). Sadly, nothing really on the horizon.
