but you use the word "game" as if its a slur...it is a game, and one that is great if you like console gaming. It has sufficient eliments of realism to provide enjoyment for the more mature player, yet at the end of the day, its not a PC sim, it is, as you say, a game.
for the record....there is no skill whatsoever needed to take off, so its absence isnt a big deal.
This is true takeoffs in sims are generally pretty easy but it does add to the feeling of being there. However, I can well see why they didn't include it as they would have to somehow negotiate the "getting to the action" bit and flying along for ages or having another cut scene take over would probably be more jarring than just starting in the air near to your objective. Same thing with landing, to a large extent.
