I can only agree with Nick. There are so many options for the obvious. Once in a while I would like to be different, to understand limitations and to work with them. Even when I read SID/STAR in the above message I get a cringe already as it is already creeping back to the usual. I have stayed completely away from the flight plan import thread as I am not interested. I could support it only if the possibility existed e.g. to load routes via the Floppy Disk. If not, I won't use it.
On the other hand, Nick has to balance authenticity and passion, with other factors important to him. It's not easy and I don't wish to be him. But, for me personally, keep it authentic. Adding only historically accurate capabilities. Otherwise, what is the difference between 1,001 other airplanes and this one!? What would be the point!?
