This is a good point, but I think it will be down the list on ‘things to do’.
If there is a Clearance Delivery, there should be an option to request VFR Flight Following.
I take off VFR from a class C…
transponder is 1200…
I am passed to Dispatch, with an option to transition Class C airspace.
Once that is done, now I get the option to request flight following.
In real life, when I depart my Class D, and flying directly into the adjacent Class C, I am given a squawk code, before I am cleared to takeoff. Because of a letter of agreement between the two airports.
These type of details are for the simulator crowd, not for the casual gamer wanting to just fly over landmarks.
