Here's two real good reasons why msfs isnt everything you wnat it to be out of the box, and never will-
1. The dont have the time! They're modeling the entire surface of the earth and 24,000 airports accurately! Plus all the planes and in-box editing elements, how do you play-test all that?
2. They have the freeware-shareware-payware community. For every fs game that has ever, ever come out there has been an absolutely incredible community behind it 100%, devoting their time to making extremely high-quality aircraft, scenery, utilities, etc. for a hobby they do in their spare time. Look at it from M$' viewpoint-why should they put the immense amount of time into making very, very high quality aircraft when a) it would take time away from the other important things theyre doing and b) theres gonna be a lot of downloads released shortly after the game is? When you can rely on a game communtiy to do these things for you, do!
However, the default 777 was unnacceptable, the 2d panels have been the same for 3 frickin installments, things ned to be more fps friendly, and declaring emergencies would be nice
