2) Let's you start rolling from a lower initial temp. The engines won't sputter at 150-170 degrees if you just give it +1 to +2 boost, then you have enough airflow to push it up to +5 gradually and warm them up as you are rolling.

Much better than aligning, warming up to 200 degrees and then firewalling it like i used to do.
This is exactly the conclusion I arrived at during today's flying - was going to post something similar. I don't think I'll bother making a new video until after the patch since the modelling might change but I find this a foolproof way of getting off the ground now.

I am actually quite happy with the model. Still needs improvement but like ElAurens said in a earlier post it is good that engine cooling actually has an effect. I'm going to have some fun in this one!
