My Personal ideas for FSX....
- Engine modeling... Starting and shutdown mostly. For piston engines, being able to have the starter turn the prop over slowly, and then have it fire. When it shuts down, have the prop wobble... For turboprops for instance the Caravan, Starter slowly spinning up the prop, then have it start to spin up faster when you introduce fuel and have the prop come out of feather. For shutdown, be able to feather the prop and see it not only visibly but on the instruments and have it slowly spin down. For jet engines, same thing on startups, no wierd N1 spikes on startup, nice and smooth..
-Effects... Lights, better modeled lighting systems, beacon lights that pulsate on aircraft that have that type of beacon, and flashing beacons on they type of aircraft that have them. Strobe lights that flash in sequence rather than after 5 minutes being out of sync or in airplanes that are not in sync, have them flash out of sync. Possibly also engine exhaust blur modeling for jets and turboprops and maybe heat blur after shutdown.
Those are my 2 biggest things, all in all, i think everything else is looking great seeing as they are only alpha screenshots!
