I've had the opportunity to fly the PA-38 Tomahawk in the real world, and I'd love to see it receive a much-needed update.
The Tomahawk is a true workhorse for flight training, especially here in New Zealand, where it has helped train countless student pilots over the years. It would be great to see the simulator better reflect the aircraft that many of us are actually flying.
A couple of updates I'd love to see:
Update the aerial/antenna configuration to match the real-world aircraft (as shown in the photos).
Add Garmin glass cockpit displays as an optional configuration. While many Tomahawks still have traditional analogue instruments, a number of training aircraft have been upgraded with Garmin avionics, so having this as an option would make the aircraft much more representative of today's training fleets.
It would be awesome to see the PA-38 get some love and become an even better representation of the aircraft so many student pilots learn to fly in.
