Topic: Take off:
The planes when take off I notice they are very slow comparatively and the kind of take off happening and global watch on the airplane there is a difference in time sheet as well.
2. At same if I have not clicked take off for the plane but already in the global map the plane has already taken off and passed the airport. Again there is a time mismatch.

Hi there,

  1. Per the devs, the take off speed is realistic, can be accelerated a little bit with the tower agents, but is not planned to be changed
  2. Actually this also mirrors real life. A departure time on a flight is when the aircraft leaves the gate, not when it leaves the ground. In the US they actually produce stats of the differences between the two. So yes it’s quite possible on the map for an aircraft to appear in transit because it works from departure time compared to what you seen on the ground.
