What Features Would you Like to See?

Postby Iroquois » Thu Apr 10, 2003 5:04 pm

I've been reading the "Things we Want" post and decided to make a poll out of it to see what you most want. Feel free to pick more than one.

This might of been before your time here Orenda, but i remember the uproar and petetions against the Adobe manuals for FS2k2. ::)
If i could mark that more than once i would, I just hope MS took note of it and actualy prints it.

Prited manulas would suck. Printed manuals cost more, pdf manuals are fine.  Better airports and scenery would be nice.

The reason we ask for printed manuals is so while we are in flight, we can look up what we want while we fly, instead of pausing the flight and having to open up Acorbat reader. :) I don't know about you, but i find it irritating.
Maybe lifting the 100,000ft barrier to the very limit of the atmosphere would be nice, but for space travel, try Orbiter Space Sim.

Print out the pdf ;)

Hey Mach2gy, you can put AI seaplanes into FS2002 using Traffic Tools and it's subsidiary programs.
I'd like to see something like the Jepesen real world weather for AI traffic. Something where you can download real world flight schedules as well as have airports as airline hubs(like KCLT is US Airways hub).

I think why most people don't want to print out the PDF is because many of us have inkjet printers and printing out large documents is expensive and time consuming.

Yeah, I have that already. (great program btw  ;D)  But I meant to say is it would be cool to have the ability to go into a low orbit like in MicroFlight 3.   ;)

I agree with most of the ppl here; I want printed manuals because you can read it when you fly.  And when you print it out, the amount of money you spend on that is probably about the same as it would cost for a printed manual, so I'd rather have a higher quality booklet than a bunch of computer papers.  8)

There are two scenery-related features id like to see: grass on land, possible small 'effect' textures that would stand on terrain and maybe even move as a helo is landing.It dont have to be a solid object, maybe a flat one and since the grass is small..) And id also like to see movable birds in the FS world (yes i know Lago's emma field has it, but why cant there be birds everywhere?) Cause, i mean, birds are one of the most dangerous threats to airplanes nowadays. Id even be willing to pay a couple extra bucks to see these things incorporated in FS  ::)

Yeah, that's a good point, there should be birds and other animals in FS.  It would be nice to fly low over the forest and try to spot some deer or something too.
