Engine starters and button boxes?

[Raven Morpheus]

Hello

I'm wondering if it's possible to build a button/switch box that has a button/switch for each engine, up to 4 (or more but I don't think you need more than 4 in Il2 1946?) so that I just can press a button/flick a switch to start each engine individually (as you have to most multi-engined aircraft) and then press/flick another button/switch to select all engines so that I can throttle up?

Currently I find on multi-engined aircraft (such as the P38 and Mosquito) that I have to select each engine using a key on my keyboard and then press my starter button - one button/switch that does both of those functions would be better.

Also on the same box I'd like to incorporate some flaps control (because I've run out of buttons/hat switches on my flights stick and I'm fed up with reaching for my keyboard for trim controls so I'd like to move them to where I have my flaps set to on my stick (the hat switch), I'm guessing the easiest way is a pair of buttons, one for flaps up and one for flaps down, but would it be possible to make a lever?


If so, would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial for doing so (I'm a complete novice when it comes to electronics, but I've heard of Leo Bodnar so I'm guessing parts would be sourced from him)?


Thanks in advance.
