Then as the plane begins to taxi- you hear a disturbance in the coach seats.  So you press Shift+F+U and you change views to a pissed flight attendant at which point you enable voice control and you cuss out the entire plane full of passengers, steal 2 beers (one in each hand) from the galley, pop the emergency door open, jump out and tear across the ramp, still holding your beers.

Might appeal to a wide audience.  Hey it could happen

maybe when you are flying in northern canada you might come across a tu-95 being escorted by cf-18's or in alaska by f-15's

Do you want your flight sim to become a slideshow? 

Being window's "live', M$ could probably "inject" events on certain date, as suggested (Though some air disasters may not be a first choice).  But 'events" such as a team of hypersonic reindeer pulling a sled on Dec 24th. 

Also already mentioned was solar and lunar eclipses, but they probably could also inject any new visible comets (and accurate possitions of the five visible planets, six, if you have exceptionally good dark adapted vision).  Beef up the meteor count on nights of known meteor showers, with an occasional fireball. 

More UFO's would be kind of fun, as long as it wasn't overdone.

Imagine coming in for a landing at your favorite North West "hunting lodge" bush strip, and seeing a 8 ft tall shaggy biped suddenly dart across the runway, just as the gear kisses the ground.  A moose could be interesting too.  Yikes!   

The possibilities makes M$ Flight a whole new ball of pudding.

events like 9/11 and tsunamis the earthquake at Haiti,...

These will never and should never be included with any release of any sim ever.

Understood, Machineman.  Unfortunately, in the real world, ATC doesn't have much to do with that.  Of course, they'll redirect you around the worst weather.  But the pilot in command is expected (also required) to set their route with current weather predictions in mind.  So if you are flying to Rio, and the weather there is supposed to be hurricane strength, you might want to consider landing at an airport a ways away, or taking the flight on an alternate day.

Yeah, admittedly I have very little idea of how the real world of flying does operate, but my main focus is having ATC which actually communicate and are aware of what is actually going on... If you set the transponder to alert them to a problem, they should recognise it. If your aircraft is in trouble, they should try and help you. If you call in, they should (well, some!) say hello/good morning/good afternoon to you.

The ATC is very plasticy. It has a strict method which isn't always true to the real world. More regional dialect would be good too.


Oh, and yeah, easter eggs too 

To me, easter eggs are discoverable events which take some trying to find. For example, if you flew past the tower in an F-14 you'd get 'godd dammiittt' down the radio, or if you were going around LaGuardia you might hear Sullenberger learning to fly in an C172 or something.
Not so much having certain animals around the place (unless they really were not supposed to be there).
