What do you want to see in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024? Tell us for $2!

There have been some fantastic submissions to this bounty.

I think sky travel is on the minds of a lot of young people though getting into the industry is another kettle of fish. If there are young pilots wanting to fly commercial I was hoping they'd include referral links/ sign posting to open days to player's local area to where they can learn more about the career path. Even a small simulator/ tutorial setting out the career path or mode. An addendum to another JA community member's request for a Air Traffic Control mode: Air Traffic Control is an excellent path for those without a college degree, well paid, respected if not highly stressful.

While it might sort of go against the whole 'Simulator' premise a little, to be able to carry out landings in emergency situations would be really cool.

It could be made up or real scenarios that may have been seen eg landing on the Hudson River.

Maybe incentivising it by adding an online leaderboard for smoothness of landing/execution etc could create some really good streaming viewership and a competitive edge.

I would love for these games to include fighter jets and such, for the fun zone, not for serious flying but, for the fun aspect of it all.

I'd like to have more interactive flights by seeing people get on and having to ensure that they are relatively satisfied throughout the flight (which is impossible heheh)

Microsoft Flight Simulator has always been a groundbreaking game, setting the standard for virtual aviation. With the upcoming 2024 edition, I have high expectations for features that will make the simulation even more immersive, realistic, and enjoyable for players. Here's what I'd like to see in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Expanded Scenarios and Activities One of the most exciting aspects of flight simulation is the ability to explore different scenarios. In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I hope to see a wider variety of missions and activities. This could include search and rescue operations, firefighting missions, air racing, and other specialized aviation tasks. These varied scenarios would keep the gameplay interesting and offer unique challenges for players.

Enhanced Weather Effects Weather is a critical factor in aviation, and I would like to see more dynamic and realistic weather effects in the new game. This includes complex storm systems, hurricanes, snowstorms, and other extreme weather conditions that affect flight performance. By adding these elements, the simulation would not only be more engaging but also more challenging.

More Realistic Air Traffic The simulation of air traffic plays a big role in creating a realistic experience. In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I hope for a more robust AI system that replicates real-world air traffic patterns. This would mean enhanced interactions with control towers, increased ground traffic at airports, and overall, a busier and more vibrant virtual airspace.

Greater Aircraft Variety Diversity in aircraft types is essential for keeping the game fresh. I would like to see a broader selection of aircraft, including regional jets, helicopters, vintage planes, and even experimental aircraft. This variety would allow players to explore different aspects of aviation, from commercial flights to recreational flying and historical aircraft.

Improved Terrain and Environment Microsoft Flight Simulator has always been known for its stunning visuals, but there's always room for improvement. In the 2024 edition, I hope for further enhancements to the terrain and environment. This includes more detailed landscapes, accurate topography, and unique geographical features like volcanoes, glaciers, and canyons. These improvements would make exploring the virtual world even more enjoyable.

Multiplayer Improvements The multiplayer experience is a significant part of the game for many players. In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I'd like to see enhanced multiplayer capabilities, such as larger shared lobbies, cooperative missions, and easier communication with other players during flight. This would encourage collaboration and make multiplayer flights more enjoyable.

Expanded Virtual Reality (VR) Support Virtual Reality offers a unique level of immersion, and I hope that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 provides improved VR support. This would mean optimized controls, better compatibility with various VR devices, and an overall smoother VR experience.

Customizable Cockpits and Aircraft Customization adds a personal touch to any game. In the new edition, I would like to see more options for customizing cockpit layouts, instrument panels, and aircraft liveries. This would allow players to personalize their experience and create their unique aircraft.

Historical Flight Scenarios Another interesting addition could be historical flight scenarios. These could include missions or campaigns that allow players to experience historic flights or events. It would add educational value and a sense of nostalgia to the game.

Integration with Real-World Data Finally, to make the simulation as accurate as possible, I'd like to see more integration with real-world data. This could include real-time flight information, updated airport layouts, and navigation aids. By including these elements, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 would be even more realistic and enjoyable for aviation enthusiasts.

These are the features I hope to see in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
