The one thing computers do well - redundant tasks

Why would anyone want to go through complex engine start procedures everytime they fired up the SOW? Why would anyone want all the inflight complex features, because if full real is addressed it wouldn't be as nice as people perceive. By that I mean weather, wind, fuel, magnetos, etc. and dozens of other management items would be required.

Maybe for fun I might like a complex start procedure like you can do in Falcon 4.0. Then again, most everyone doing Falcon puts the startup on a programmable switch and pushes 1 button to go through maze of startup procedures<> LOL

If Oleg wants to give us all the complexity of real aviation I say go for it.
However, just give me switches to turn it off or tune it down. Many times when only I have 30 minutes or so to enjoy the sim. No way I'm going to sit at the keyboard and flip switches, wait for responses and flip more switches. Sorry, but that would lose my interest faster than watching wet paint dry.
