You're all missing the pink elephant in the room. The freaking cyclic. You press one button to go up, one to go down. If you don't it sits there. And the airplanes are a pain to taxi with as you can't set your thrust to a certain level, and instead have to move in bursts.
Analog thrust control please. None of this "accelerating" stuff. It's a basic principle that got glossed over when it shouldn't have.
I think that that takes more precedence over something that is already up to par (though not quite perfect)
