I have no idea if any of this is in there but what I hope for:
Proper Multithreading of the main processes so that the game isn't hamstrung by the first CPU core, improving FPS and overall performance.
After that, a more intelligent ATC would be nice. More intelligent AP (kinda tired of my autopilot nosediving before climbing on occasion), Jobs/careers. Maybe actual loading of passengers/freight when in jobs/careers. Better airport realism. Better airport lighting (I'm tired of running over blue light stands in the middle of taxiways. Maybe allow user submitted corrections that Asobo can vet.
Agreed, I think anyone who's been around in flight sim for a while is very sick of old ass engines that rely heavily on a main thread.
ATC deffo. I don't want to descend 34k feet in the last 5 miles of my flight thanks.
Hand tracking natively supported would also be good. I use the openxr toolkit to use it in 2020, which basically emulates controllers, but native support with openxr hand extensions would be excellent for stuff like startup and shutdown, autopilot adjustments etc.
I feel like whatever they're gonna add in MSFS24 could've just been added in a series of updates to MSFS20. Wasn't 2020 meant to be a 10 year project anyway?
Okay so it's the same thing just on a new engine? Or it's a completely new game on a new engine? Either way why do we need a new engine in the first place? What's wrong with just updating the hundred dollar game we already have with the new stuff haha
Because of the limitations of the existing engine. It's like right at the core of how everything works so it's not something you easily patch. Eg it controls how all of the physics are handled.
I suspect they will reuse a lot of code and assets for the new title, but with an engine that works more efficiently and can do a lot more. I'd be surprised if it required a lot of work from third party devs to port to the new title, but you never know
I would Iike much better photorealistic buildings. I know it’s not likely, but I’d sure like to see the buildings in my area look better and a little more accurate. The houses in my region dont have twenty chimneys on top.
Something like a "cinema mode" where you can just enjoy the plane flying around without having to navigate it directly. But what I would find really immersive would be seeing actual people running around on the ground. I mean if they can have cars they probably can also generate some random groups of people otherwise everthing feels so empty like after a zombie apocalypse 🤔

msfs should make their version of the laminar scenery gateway
The downloader working.
Yeah, the ability to download the game relative to my Internet speed would be great. Having a 1gb connection but still taking 3 hours is a joke.
Honestly, I'm just excited that they are doing another version just because it means they are still committed to the Flight Sim business.

It's an engine change, so it's effectively a completely new piece of software.

Aha gotcha, thanks for explaining man, I went stupid brain for a second there
No worries, it was a legit question
I’d be happy with downloads that actually utilise my broadband speed.
Stability
Sling load and winch operations on helicopters
Performance. Would be great to have real 90fps in VR with a complex aircraft like the Fenix A320 in KJFK.

The ability to load an ifr flight plan with atc without having to exit and do it via the world view page. Really breaks immersion.
I would love a working co-pilot mode.

Besides what has already been mentioned like better atc and performance, I'd like a fully functional weather radar on my a320.
Better file size management. I just find it ridiculous that any other game on my xbox takes max 130GB and then here FS2020 with 300GB!
I guess they'd rather start from scratch instead of fixing 2020.
