Personally, I'm more interested in the cabin than the cockpit <grin> OK, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but I would love to see some really fancy A380 cabins modelled. I know the supplied one is more than impressive, but I want to see shower suites, exotic lounges etc! Actually, I'd be well up for a genuine "passenger" mode. An AI controlled, but modelled, crew up front to do all the boring stuff and the ability to hot-key into a passenger avatar with the capability to move around the interior.

I spent way too many hours sat in the back of a tin tube back in the day, but I'd love to be able to do that in the sim. Especially if I could have a free run across the whole aircraft - switching in to pilot mode if I wanted to etc. Plus, of course, I wouldn't have to sit next to some boring salesman or in front of a twitchy juvenile who keeps kicking my seatback.

It looks like cabins and airport terminal interiors are always suspected to be responsible for performance degradation, even though several developers denied this categorically in this very forum.

As ATRguy mentioned, if it’s not rendered, it has zero impact on performance. In other words, if you don’t look in the cabin - or in the terminal - your performance will be optimal.

As a conclusion MSFS being a game, and since we are essentially all players, some will like those, and some won’t, in this later case simply forget they exist.

It all depends what kind of performance is considered to be acceptable. Some flight simmers do not seem to be able to cope with anything less than 60fps, but I can handle considerably less performance than that. The end result is that I can run MSFS 2020 at significantly higher levels of detail than other users with much more powerful PCs might expect......and that includes those lovely terminal interiors. I had a quick flight at the Pyreegue version of EGNX East Midlands the other day, and being able to see all of the internal detail when I parked my aircraft at Gate 9 was incredibly satisfying. I will take that over 60fps any day.

I had a dream last night, that Asobo did model the cabin on the 747-8 in 2024, but they didn't remodel the outside of the aircraft to let you see through the windows.

So the only way to see the cabin was to take camera inside or use preset views lmao
