what we wish: actual thrust-vector VTOL modeling + others
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:47 pmwell this is an oldy, but quite sure a most-requested
FS (well, now just "F") needs, and has needed for some time to get some proper support for VTOL operations
right now, we have either plane or chopper - what we're asking for, is basically, everything in between
i'd say: just put in a bell tilt-rotor as a default aircraft and let that be the open door for all the possibilities it opens for addon makers
a few other random requests on my list would be:
- proper in-cloud effects (like the IL2 series)
- more "lively" failures such as engine fires and popping tires
- full weather overcast conditions that don't beat your system down to 2fps
- boarding stairs along with gate service trucks on gates where there are no jetways + the "follow-me" truck for progressive taxi (and make them always appear where i'm parked, regardless of density settings, why not?)
- hire/buy/abduct the authors of FSPassengers and integrate it as another alternative to free-flight and missions
- let us open a map without pausing the game... we can't memorize all our VOR frequencies, can we?
- remove the need for us to buy a top-notch rig 2 years AFTER the release of the game so it can look even half as good as it does printed on the back of the box
other wishes like ATC emergency and airpeed handling have already been mentioned, no point in hitting that nail once again, right?
with that, just "make it awesome" - i'm already looking forward to this
cheerz!

But I think a truck that meets you out at the runway or at the gate would be perfect. Or perhaps progressive taxi instructions ("N745CC, turn right next taxiway.") at smaller, less crowded airports.
