The issue is how do you make your game *not* just turn into a giant group of spreadsheets? Realistic navigation might be fun but that's something to be left up to the options menu of course. I generally reference B-17 2's navigation game play which was simple and consequential at the same time. The Mighty Eighth did a lot of things I frankly wish more sims would do. Things that are inconceivable to fanhards. Ya know, a streamlined interface, a wide list of adjustable realism settings, an intelligent use of crew training and station management to keep the player active even in downtime etc etc.
