Odd. Why do you think so many servers on HL have enforced CEM if nobody wants it?
Only to turn down rookies? Well, I honestly doubt that many rookies are rushed away because they do have to select their different engines for startup in while using one of the 6 or 8 multi-engined planes in 1946. And Prop-Pitch? Honestly, what rookie does care about that? If you don't fight the aces, you can very well survive without changing these settings (most aces I know have the settings 70 or 100% prop-pitch only, anyway).
I can hardly believe that these 3 or 4 buttons turn down any rookie who is willing to learn to deal with gyro-effects, turbulences, drag, loosing control-surfaces, engine damage, fuel leaks, carrier-takeoffs, different bomb-munitions, bomb-delays and rocket-delays, etc.
On another note the very few planes that have mixture-settings-controls were in the initial release, whereas planes with "press W for unlimited afterburner" were added later on. There is even a settings for using automatic radiators on planes who didn't have such a system. (and radiators only cause light drag, which is not nearly as devastating on flight-performance as the real things, e.g. for the 109.
As I posted before: There is always the option to disable those and there are many servers without CEM. It's just a fact that if you are searching for realistic servers with realistic missions and settings, there is simply no way around getting those few keys memorized or mapped to a joystick. Maybe you should give Falcon4 a try?
