FS11 Wishlist- What would you like to see in FS11?

Why not include a whole set of easy to use 3d tools on top of the SDK they include with the simulator.  Like a built in version of 3dsmax/gmax system without having to go through the conversion process in a special way to make the models work. At the same time have the tools make these builds through a one way process so that the designer can make thier own protections for it. As the current SDK's do this already. Also have it backwards compatible with tools like gmax/3dsmax so beginners could share work with advanced modellers vise versa.  This would become very popular I would think don't you?   I know gmax is free and takes a high learning curve for some people... but why not have 3d tools integrated into the simulator and designed for beginners that would like to develope and not have to worry about the conversion process's.  I would have to say the same for each part of the SDK as well....like the panels/scenery/missions.  Just an idea I think would make Flight Sim much more popular.  It would make designing much easier for newbs like me.

I have just a couple:


- FMS

- SID's and STAR's, AND Air Traffic Control integration, so we can actually be assigned them.

- on that note, ATC allowing us to take off and head to our first waypoint (can be the first SID waypoint if airport is operating on them at the time), not the "follow runway heading"(so unrealistic lol)

- this is a long shot, but SLOPED RUNWAYSSS!!! I will cry when that gets integrated!

I've been asking for sloped runways since fs98.  If they used accurate mesh for the terrain anyway, then it would just be a matter of putting runway textures over the mesh, instead of flattening it all out.

Built in dual screen support, that would make it easier to allow a buddy to sit next to you and be the co-pilot.

Hi Guys - new here but had to say my piece regards wish list.

I haven't read all the posts so forgive me if i repeat; Tower gives landing clearance when others are on final and in front, or when other aircraft are on the runway. This needs fixing. I would like to see ATC switch to HF radio (shanwick, gander, mumbai, singapore, the list goes on) when out of range of the nearest VHF station and use SELCAL.

Speedbrakes while trying to slow and autothrottle set to lower speed tends to wind up the engines - you have to switch out of autothrottle while slowing then after deselecting spoilers engage autothrottle again this should be modelled better - unless i'm doing something wrong?.

microwave approach?

One thing I would like to see would be diffrent models of aircraft carriers. Not ever carrier on earth is a Nimitz super carrier. Maybe some could be based off of the enterprise , british, french, and russian carriers.

I would lilke to see the Multiplayer feature looked at so that you dont have to log in so many times.  I would also like to see them add more traffic to the game. More real airlines that fly from their hubs and all over the world.

The implementation of holding patterns as instructed by ATC at busy airports.

My suggestion comes to me after a short flight in an addon Dash 8 from KPHF to KPHL.  A more realistic ATC that will include callouts for proper flight speeds.  This would be especially helpful on landings.

Another idea, not so much a gripe, but to address some of the other comments, there should be a free website dedicated to addon aircraft repair.  It would be great to fix all of those addon's we're all having problems with.  With ads present, it could remain free.
(that may be a personal thought because I can't get an FS9 KingAir 300 to see a good 2D panel in FSX)

If you're still having problems with that panel why didn't you tell me? From what I read it's quite likely that they will do away with the 2D panel in FSXI.

I think they should ditch Gamespy. I mean i'm sorry about the language but there is no other wat to say this. Gamespy facking sucks. Every video game that used gamespy on consoles has failed

[ShaneG_old]

On that note, an overlay card for the keyboard showing all functions relative for flying and decorated up a bit like a flight panel would be kinda cool, and might help the transition away from 2D panels.
 Might be better as a downloadable pdf or something like that as it would help keep packaging costs down.
