It's the same like attaching the relief tube to your private part.
AFAIR magnetos are modelled in IL2.. I vaguely remember fiddling with them sometime ago.

Ahem.. there's no skill in procedural startups and checks - one tends to naturally do this 'at speed' in IL2 anyway - skill in emergency procedures, yes!.

And of course, 99.999999% of us have keyboard CPits which limits proper pit realities. Things like fuel pumps, and changing tanks and their effects would add a nice touch.
