One thing I've always wished Microsoft would do with every version of Flight Simulator but especially this one is have an "Arcade flying" mode.
I want to see the hyper-realistic rendered world in as high resolution as possible.
I want to fly around the planet.
But I don't want to be limited to the detailed specifics (and speeds!) of real life planes.
Why can't we have a mode to make a plane as easy to fly as it is in GTA5. Or "superman" mode where I don't even have a plane, and I can just move around at (almost) any speed [i'm sure rendering would become a problem]
They are adding a walk around mode which is external to aircraft. Also while flying, you can adjust the simulation rate dramatically to decrease time to destination’s (supported in 2020 as well).
Did you try Google Earth VR? You can get the "superman" experience there (and even scale yourself up/down).
In most ways it does not look as good as MSFS (no dynamic weather, animations etc), but you get a lot more of accurately modeled cities with 3D buildings.
A version with visual candy like dynamic weather simulation would be excellent...
Google Earth desktop basically gives you that with even better Earth model. Last I checked you could enable a super simple airplane mode that even worked with joysticks. It always felt like future to me :)
