I'd like to

-specify engine horsepower at altitudes
-specify compressibility effects
-allow wheels to be connected to engines
-specify parts that have coolant/oil/fuel and their chance of leaking when shot
-have automatic leading edge devices
-smarter AI in plug in .dll files "nowotny.dll" "hartmann.dll" etc.
-have a server where you can join and leave games on the fly, taking over for the AI or having the AI take over for you. Dynamic campaigns, etc.
-multiplayer bombers

Ditto what Tail said, but I have a few to add.

-Pilot kills
-More hud options. Meaning that say you could turn off a few more of the items. Or allow hud for only certain aircraft type option. This would allow for bombers to have hud, while the fighters did not.
-If in hud mode, have id's be hidden behind solid objects and clouds.
-Same as above but for Padlock. Well to a point. Not hidden by you own A/C, but hidden by terrain and clouds.
-less accurate ack.
-seperate chat channels. Axis, allied, general.

Well thats all that I can think of. Tail about said it all.

ohh,
-Make Mossie fly like an F22 when Zoy is flying it

WW2 planes had them and even some innovative WW1 pilots took car mirrors and stuck them on their top wing.

How about being able to assign custom sounds to events like obDamage. Also assigning sounds to springs so that for example, if a spring exceeds a certain movement the sound starts (creeking wings, etc!)

How about tying throttle sound to RPM instead of throttle? More enigne modeling...

New events: onEngineStart, onEngineStop, onGunFire, onWheelContactGround.

Dynamic prop lists for airfoils - so you can set FM on the fly.

Better delay functionality, like: (onDmg 5 (obDelay 25 (obDetach)) ) This would detach the part 25 seconds after damage level 5 is reached.

Megneto engine control (WWI I know...) Use normal throttle keys to kick the einge up and down, and then use throttle anolog (stick) position to decide how many cylinders should fire...

obDepend: This way you could say LWing depends on LWingStrut for example. That way if LWStrut detaches, an obDepend event would be triggered. So (obDepend 'LWingStrut ('obDetach)) or something

We have querry, how abough thresholds that trigger events? (onThreshold 'qryAirSpeed (180 (obExec 'albatros (wingRip))))

So when the airspeed passes 180, execute a function or something.

Be able to tie any sound to RMP or Airspeed. So pitch of sound is based on one of these items.

Dead pilots should not scream for all eternity. Please put them out of their misery

When in pilot view, dim the screen darker and darker red as pilots take on damage.

I could go on....

This can all ready be done with OpenPlane, at least on a part by part basis. In other words, bullet holes won't show up exactly where they hit, but a part that is hit by bullets can show bullet holes and other damage.

2. All of what sv said.

3. calling Functions from DOFs.

4. Multistage Superchargers.

5. Better Engine Damage modelling, overheating, overspeeding, coolant leaks, radiator damage, as above.

6. Mutli-texturing.( Bullet holes )

7. Damage effects both child and parent objects.

8. The sun.

9. Fire spreads.

10. Fire extiguishers.

11. Tailslide AI dll's.

12. Radar.

In Online Play;

Disable F5 for enemy aircraft.

Enable F6 for Extra Allied Aircraft Parked on the Ground/CV Deck.

Big possibilities could open with this Feature

In OP, I would like to have an option so that once a function is activated, a time delay (say, obTimedelay) is activated, and then after the countdown, then next function is activated.

It would also be handy to have one object hit, and have it's effects show up in another object, that is in another sub branch.

So if squadron "X" gets within 5 miles of Squadron "Y" they take off.
Things like that.

Plus all the other great stuff already mentioned.

I'm busy today and you guys covered alot. So pretty much what you guys said.

I want access to the sound engine That was mentioned I'm just seconding the mention.

Control surfaces: Assymetric movement.

Flaps: As a minimum, allow a description of number of flap levels and their degree of deflection.

Flaps: Support airAdvantage, and describe the maximum force of the hydraulic system, such that the flaps can refuse to extend, or even be pushed back.

Speed of sound: It's bad that you can avoid being shot by turning sharply when you hear the gunfire.

Engine: Like many have said, more details on the engine in general. Cooling system, lubrication, etc. WEP, mixture, prop, temp.

Reduce their floatability when damaged.

That way we can have seaplanes, torpedos, ships that sink, even ships that you can pilot, do I hear gunboat?

I'd like to be a ditch my plane in water without it exploding...

All this stuff is essential if you want a pacific theatre or project X.

Reduce the accuracy of the flak...

That sounds like a great idea.

Bullets shouldn't stop when they hit the first LOD, instead they should be able to continue their path depending on the material of the first LOD (metal, armored, wood etc) and be able to inflict damage to other parts. This means obscured stuff like for example fueltanks and pilots can be damaged without calls and probability queries etc.

Terrain 'roughness': For example set the ground to be bumpy like in A-10 Cuba. Perhaps even "gear breaking" when landing on a ploughed field.

Be able to zoom in closer in external view.

Hangar flight: Be able to choose terrain, airport/in the air, altitude, loadout, weather...

As has been discussed before regarding mission AI parameters.
Mission start parameters; start aircraft with engine on/off, hood opened/closed, gear up/down etc
Timing; Place a bomber at an airfield and after 5 minutes make it takeoff.
+ a lot of other AI related things.

Ammo loadouts. Bullets/Tracers/API etc... and which mixes of them to use, 4/1/1 for example.

Increase friction of the landing wheels bearings - take a look at the WWI planes for example, they spin for eternity. But maybe this can be fixed even now with OP, I haven't looked into it.

Track more statistics; Friendly losses, enemy losses, who shot down what, bullet hit stats etc...

Giving each AI plane different skills instead of the hole squadron.

Switch view to both friendly & enemy and pan around all views while in PAUSE.
