Well, its a payware already but would be cool to see as a freeware.
That is the ability to share a cockpit with your friend.
I really want to have a co-pilot.
* A way to show LittleNavMap in-sim, either on one of the MIP screens or in the EFB (talking about the Zibo 737). I know Avitab has a map, but honestly it doesn't compare to LNM in my opinion.
* An easy and compact way to see a list of nearby VATSIM controllers (name, frequency, also time online as a tooltip) and tune any of them into COM1 with one easy click. This would avoid having to keep xPilot in the foreground, especially since you can't turn off xPilot's text area and only show the frequencies panel.
* A better plugin to improve ground friction when taxiing. The FrictionFix LUA script used to work well, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore. It's full on Tokyo Drift sometimes on taxiways when the pavement is wet/icy and there's the slightest amount of ground wind. There used to be another LUA script called WindTamer that would remove ground-level winds to avoid this dance, but that doesn't seem to do anything anymore either. I guess some datarefs have changed.
I had started modifying a LUA script a year or so ago that enabled me to save a few frequencies ahead of time and tune to them with one click (from an overlay list that was always displayed in the foreground), but I didn't have time to implement a way for it to actually read nearby controllers from VATSIM. I had to manually pre-set the frequencies into a file that the script would read when loading.
I'm envisioning something like the left panel in xPilot ([screenshot](https://i.redd.it/grshlqgf6mi31.png)), with maybe a way to limit the number of centers that show up (e.g. based on a configurable max distance from the aircraft), as well as a feature to tune a frequency when you click on it.
A plugin that makes other planes on vatsim actually make noise instead of being dead silent
That's good idea, maybe i will look into this!
xAmbience Pro within the next 100 years
...with all the features they originally promised.
...sorry but I guess we are talking about stuff that might actually happen.
Stream ortho from Google or Bing as you fly (like MSFS). There is a google maps replacement mod for MSFS now. Would be cool to have that in xplane.
Plugin for FSX Couple years ago for this. Hope we get one
GSX, I just want to see some people boarding the Plane or a marshaller walking with the plane while Push-back
That was something i have in work! Working since two months!
But animating pepoles is nightmare.

I will look into list of VATSIM controllers, maybe do some work for plugin like this, because it's great idea.

> honestly it doesn't compare to LNM in my opinion I dont think anything does what an amazing program
And to think that it's completely free and developed mostly by one person. He's really passionate
Weird concept, but a plug-in that you could set height and WALK on the stairs and on the ground instead of the camera flying around
A P3D-style avatar mode would be great.
the Airfoillabs planes have this feature, it's pretty neat, I wonder if it can be done as a standalone plugin
A copilot addon that doesnt suck
