The above verifies based on my own experiences and looking back on
one of my own videos from KJAN to KMBO

Preflight 7 minutes
Startup procedures 1:05 minutes
Ground clearance 10 seconds.
Taxi 3:00 minutes
Runup 1:30 minutes
Clearance for take off 2 seconds (number one for takeoff)

So from opening the door of the plane to take off takes on average 12
1/2 minutes for me.

Where's the flight plan?

What makes you think a flight plan was or is needed?

Typical of you to go off tangent to your own question.

For what it's worth. VFR, I don't file a flight plan, get in my plane
just like my car. The above was a VFR flight.

IFR, takes 5 minutes on simple flights to 10 minutes to multi leg flights
to get everything in order thanks to computerization of planning. This
includes getting my approach plates in order, filing the plan with the
FAA.

No different then planning a trip in a car. After all, you don't get on
the road without checking maps for routes desired. Samething in the air,
I select the routes I desire.

Sheeze, so you don't file flight plans in your game world, what's the
difference? Or would that be like a REAL simulator.
