It's supposed to be part of the experience in simulations. It was the best feeling when I finally managed to get it up. And again when I did my first bombing run. It does take dedication, calm and a certain type of personality. Coming on the forums and being insulting or aggressive isn't going to get you any sympathy...

Thanks, but...
Most of your post is on start up, and I can start the engines OK.
However, you mention temps over 100c, and your not the only one. Here's the thing: My temp gauges only go to 100. I've just started up the game to double check after reading your post, and my gauges definitely only go to 100 degrees.
I should point out that this is with an empty load out and on a concrete strip.
And again, what's getting my blood up is not that I'm doing it wrong, but that I can't find out from the game docs and feed back mechanisms what it is that's going wrong. Even putting it on auto pilot and sitting back to watch how the AI does it is not helping.
I'm glad you find this a pleasing simulation; however I'm not at the moment, and I do have rather a lot of experience in the genre. Of course that's no measure of either piloting skill nor tactical awareness, but it should indicate that I can read a manual and look around a cockpit. Nonetheless, I'm also very aware there's nothing so ridiculous as some one yelling that they're "gud at flight simz" and then falling off the end of the carrier, or what ever.
And Canuck can still bite me.
