Hi there,
since the big feature requests like fuel, weight, better weather and variable winds, animated water, ATC, GNS530
and so on are certainly on the list of awareness already, I would like to propose some minor features,
that would improve the SIM significantly in my opinion:
- Navigation Screen
- please allow to save Routs in order to reload them for later flights
- FMC
- fully unlock Direct-To functionality
- full rout programming with airways
- Boeing: introduce DESC page
- Fix LNAV issue with (I)-waypoints (completed)
- Time skipping screen
- show T/C and T/D
- By default skipping time should stop 10nm before T/D and not skip the T/D
- Let the user drag the plane on the time-line allowing to also move back in time.
- Moving Map (In-game map)
- Please allow to drag the map (inside the map window).
- In addition to NDBs and VORs the map should also show Localizers.
- Allow the user to click on all Navaids as well as Runways in order to reveal
- frequencies of NDBs, VORs and Localizers
- runway headings
- Location Screen
- show range rings around the green plane-symbol
- "short Final" and "long Final" seem way too short
- "Short Final" should be 6nm, "long final" 12nm at least.
- It should be possible to drag the plane around on the map rather than having to click around.
- Sound
- Engine sounds can get super lush and too quiet I think when IDLE.
- You can hardly hear wind in the cockpit.
- Sound Settings?
- ability to mix cockpit- versus outside sound...
- Takeoff Config
- The paring break should better be on.
- Joystick Sensitivity
- place the sensitivity slider below Airplanes inside the "Aircraft" screen
and save the setting airplane-specific
- place the sensitivity slider below Airplanes inside the "Aircraft" screen
- HUD, also show:
- current QnH & temperature
- selected course (HSI)
- "AP", "FD", depending on what is active
- "START" Button (Main Menue)
- should better be called "FLY" as it is used not only to start a flight but also to resume it
- Menu UI
- Tabs would be appreciated...
- better cursor feedback, tooltips...
- Scenery
- I do miss Greece
- All availabe Airports should have satalite-scenery.
- I noticed that this is missing on the canarian islands.
- A/T planes
- please bypass the hardware throttle during active A/T mode like "SPD" or "N1"
- Immersion
- Wind is hardly noticable inside the cockpit compared to X-Plane.
- There could be a bit more rumbling on the ground and maybe some kind of head-shake effect.
I'll keep this list updated...
