Pretty much my thoughts. I’ve always seen the bush trips as a different type of adventure that is separate from regular flying. It doesn’t bug me that you start hot on the runway. After all, there isn’t much planning to do because it’s already done for you in the flight info screens.
It would be nice for an option to see landmark reference images to know what I’m looking for during the flight (many landmarks are easily mistaken for generic scenery), but that is a minor inconvenience and I can look on Goggle Maps if things aren’t clear.
