New tiles. European temperate climate, North African deserts, Northern Europe, Eastern and snow, Pacific... Just a bit more variation in weather.. It would make things a lot better with a relatively small amount of work..
And the windmills aren't idiotic.
Exactly what I've wanted for years, couldn't agree more. I was suprised after leaving in 04 and having a three year break that the map graphics were still bascially the same with only some minor changes. And even more suprised that some of the old maps were still circulating.
As for weather, how hard is it to add more clouds, cloud variety and layers, even throw in a basic weather engine? Oh but there would be a graphics performance hit, give me a break. Anyone ever done a poll to see what average customer PC specs are? I would bet the average can run the sim at max settings with 60fps as it currently is.
Of course you can't say anything about maps, without the usual "build one yourself" comeback by some noob. I already have a job thank you and not on HT's payroll. What I pay them $15 a month for and I would expect a small % of that to include development costs for things like maps.
Of course I also expected the Yak to have a new cockpit in that time, guess I'll just have to wait for Combat Tour or something...
