I would really like there to be a setting to disable (in Free Mission), discrete take-off, landing, mid-flight refueling, and story cutscenes. When retrying some missions you can end up skipping several back-to-back cutscenes and story moments before actually getting to the game. I'm not saying I'm not interested in the Story, but if you're gunning for S-Ranks (like on Mission 28), it's very tedious to have skip a bunch of stuff every time you want another bite at the apple. Clearly they were already thinking the modes were different because you have an option to select story-based aircraft availability and "free availability," so I would just see this as an extension of that. Devs, please introduce an option that starts at the briefing and ends on Mission Accomplished.
