Hi.Reading this I realised I can't remember RC giving me a '... cleared for immediate take-off.'http://forum.avsim.net/topic/359232-take-off-seconds-after-entering-runway/Could you refresh my bad memory: do we always get a 'line up and wait' / 'position and hold'?Cheers,D

IIRC, most takeoffs require a "position and hold/ line up and wait" before takeoff. IIRC (once more :( ), A "cleared for immediate takeoff" is given when there is no incoming traffic that will land soon, and there hasn't been a takeoff for a short while.
