Everyone is taking the words 'flight sim' to the extreme. All it means is the simulation of flight. Some definitions of flight-
1. The motion of an object in or through a medium, especially through the earth's atmosphere or through space.
2. An instance of such motion.
3. The distance covered in such motion.
4. The act or process of flying through the air by means of wings.
Takeoffs and landings have nothing to do with simulating flight, or even simulating combat in flight (in combat flight sim). I will agree that they probably could have put those features in, but not including that doesn't make the game less of a flight sim. And please, remind me, if you're all about realism then why would you want replays in the first place? When is that realistic?
And, 1946 is a flight sim without all cockpits by the way.
