Personally I would like to see a better sound quality throughout the range of products in Xplane. My father, being in the sound industry, has helped tune my ear to what sounds good, and what doesn't. His "house" speakers are a pair of Genelec studio monitors (for reference to how he likes his sound). Its preferable to put the highest quality sound (and visualization) into the products, and allow the end users tone them down to the level that they are able to achieve. Case in point is how many musicians now put out music compressed beyond all belief, because most of the end-users are going to be listening to them on crappy iPod ear-buds with only high-end freq-response and simulated low-end kick. You lose the entire middle (read: the meat) of the track and the depth that you'd get from nearly every band 20 years ago isn't there. Once in a while someone mixes it correctly and the difference is shocking. Hopefully we can get some of the same back into Xplane...
