I just find it sort of ironic all the work that goes into making the flying experience as real as possible......then letting the computer do the take off. So shoot me. 
The computer still does most of the work for you anyway. Think of all the procedures you dont have to go through to take off even in manual takeoff mode.
If I had it my way it would be even more realistic.
Carriers would have to turn into the wind to launch planes.
And there would be variable from moderate to severe cross winds even at runway level.
