hmm - guess the object ofthe game is to not crash - MSFS has always lacked in this area... i suppose to prevent people from just crashing oer and over again  thats pretty dumb.

the best crash effects i have seen were in janes ww2 fighters back in 98... awesome

3D water swells, and waves.
More 3D trees and houses, which look better close up, rather than cardboard cut-out style.
Runways which 'cling' to the landscape, so they're not always completely flat.
An option to increase the number of iterations on runway lines and taxiways, so they don't look like polygons.
More aircraft, from many more companies.
More missions, and maybe a career mode.
Voice recognition for ATC, and more realistic pilot and tower voices (and not always american accented people).
Grass (it may seem that grass will come in the DX10 patch, but that remains to be seen).
Better AIRCRAFT PHYSICS.
An option where the SDK for aircraft creation, can make a .cfg file by looking at the actual geometry of the aircraft model.
Better traffic, boats, and animals.
Textures which have roads depicted actually have 'real' roads generated along them.
Traffic which can stop at traffics lights, turn left down one way, and do stuff like real traffic.
Dynamic work areas, such as docks which have ships come in, and have their cargo unloaded by the huge cranes.
Actual people running around the airport, servicing the planes.
Hangars which open and close to let people do maintenance, and house planes.
Helicopter air traffic, instead of all fixed wing aircraft.
VTOL aircraft of different types, propeller (V-22 Osprey) or jet (AV-8B Harrier).
Carrier operations, like catapult aircraft launches, and arrestor cable landings.
Blimp physics.
Mid-air refueling with military or other aircraft.
Being able to see actual people walking around in an airport terminal.
People parking cars, and walking into an airport terminal, to board a plane.
Opening aircraft doors during flight actually effects the handling of the aircraft.
Dynamic breakage, or aircraft problems which can occur randomly without the user having any clue about it happening.
Higher quality autogen objects.
Better lighting on roads and airports (dark lightmaps are used on aircraft under airport lights, and the aircraft looks black).
Self-shadowing without the use of 'imitation' methods.  This way, no SDK work would have to be done to have self-shadowing.
Helicopter rotor blade flexing.
Real motion-blur.
Real depth-of-field.
Better cloud lighting, and blending.  E.G. Thick clouds are dark when covering the sun, but thin ones are light.
Better aircraft sounds.
Better particle effects.  E.G. Soft particles, and smaller, but larger in number particles.
Better lens effects.
Better, less FPS killing, HDR on the sun.
SLI and/or Crossfire support.
Contact points replaced by actual mesh collision checking.
Helicopter blades rotation are controlled by the sim, rather than pre-animated.
Better forcefeedback physics.
Default virtual-cockpits which have every single polygon visible from any angle view using TrackIR, so you don't get missing polys.
Better flight recording functions.  E.G. Faster record speed, more recording options..

Anything else I can think of later...

CD?, CD 1 out of 10 or something

Some old millitary planes. EG. P-51, Spitfire and other war birds. Military AI traffic, flying sorties and doing touch and goes at bases.

I want an auto-installer that allows dimbulbs like me to simply drag and drop the extracted file (which is on the Desktop) into some kind of an "active area" having to do with the sim (also on the Desktop), click once and it's installed into the sim, all hunky-dory and ready for liftoff. How wonderful that would be...








Ya don't want much, do ya, Str1ker?

Actually car companies DON'T care if their cars are modeled for damage, so long as the damage is what occurs in real life, Has anyone looked up dirt? Maybe even NFS Pro Street... I think if the damage was 100% realistic that the Aircraft companies wouldn't mind if their aircraft could be destroyed in a game, The problem is, it would take too much time to model the destruction of an aircraft in the event of a failure, and the graphics processing power needed would be beyond anything we will have for a long time I'd imagine. I would love to see aircraft fall apart when I screw up a landing, have my gear fall off, my engines burst into flame in mid flight etc, But I doubt we will see it any time soon or at all. Something I would like to see, Waves on the water, a new graphics engine (Totally revamped basically) but its really too soon to care really, and as RitterKruez said, FSX has no major issues as far as I can tell, it just needs some good hardware is all!
