I think in a coming update a few things added:
A ready made cockpit for new players
Seat/cockpit with built-in ejection
Make it easier to tag players (I still can’t seem to figure out how to do that)
An engine in the designer with built-in thrust vectoring
A sandbox multi role missile
More tweaks to save new players from installing XML Overload and spending ages trying to figure out how to use it e.g. for engines have the “zeroOnDeactivate” be in the designer settings
Better graphics
More default aircraft e.g. rather than having annoyingly simple tutorial planes buzzing around all the time, have settings for what kind of AI air traffic you want
In the aircraft download menu, have rename able folders so you can name a folder e.g. “Lockheed Martin Aircraft” and put F22s, F35s, F14s, etc in there
LESS GLITCHY DESIGNER
More islands and land (especially for mobile)
More AI ground traffic e.g. more boats and convoys etc. USS Beast and it’s destroyers are all well and good but I’ve destroyed it so many times the US Navy will be totally broke and bankrupt when they pay the bill.
People, controllable people
Career mode
Building challenges
Multiplayer for IOS/mobile
Lasers and more weapons in the designer, I’m fed up of getting a mini gun, tweaking it in XML, and making it look a bit like a laser
More boat infrastructure, e.g. ports, propeller parts and funnels
HUDs and other electronic display screens for vanilla sandbox
Scenarios, e.g. in the main menu, you could have a “scenarios” section and could have e.g. “the Battle of Britain” or a “Top Gun” scenario. Even maybe a full scale war.
Anyway I still love the game so I promise even if you don’t change it than I will still be here.
I look forward to flying a plane with other players
I’m going to upvote this, but the most recent update was less than a year ago, but you also have to take account for SR2 which they also have to update.
Technically you can just rip the cockpit from any of the default planes (well, maybe not the Twin Prop) without much difficulty.

To tag someone, all you do is type
@theirUsernamein a comment (max of three tags per comment though). For example, to tag myself I would type @HuskyDynamicsActually yeah this would be pretty cool
I mean... maybe? There's not a whole lot of multi-role missiles out there to my knowledge though.
You don't need to install Overload separately since version 1.8 or 1.9. Plus, it's not really for beginner users. Some of the options do need to be in the regular menus, though.
What do you mean by "better graphics"?
I will agree, the AI system definitely needs an overhaul.
Being able to sort aircraft would be nice.
Again, kind of vague.
Sure, I guess? Something with a city would be nice.
Well, at the same time they don't want to have AI traffic literally everywhere. I think what they have now is a decent balance.
No.
Actually this could be pretty interesting.
Kinda-sorta-already happens with the existing challenges, just most people choose to use something they downloaded instead.
You'll need to ask the multiplayer mod team about that one.
Eh...
Yes please.
A prefab electronic display would be cool but I'm not sure how it would be set up. I could see this being possible though.
Also kind of already exists with the challenges/races. The current state of the AI probably prevents anything more in-depth.
