Complex engine management

If La-5 makes it into CoD, I will not fly it with complex engine management on .

I have read this article and was trying to figure out what the six levers were.
My guess is
Throttle
Pitch
Mixture
Supercharger?
Boost?
Cowl flaps?
Nose-down trim?
Anyone have any input on this one?

"All of the engine controls (throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, radiator and cowl flaps, and supercharger gearbox) had separate levers which served to distract the pilot during combat to make constant adjustments or risk suboptimal performance. For example, rapid acceleration required moving no less than six levers."

I really hope, that the full real community will like this new level of complexity. In IL2 1946 there are only a few online server with full real settings and as we know now, full real in 1946 = arcade in COD. It would be a shame if this new system would scare people away from it.
I keep my fingers crossed and I hope that online pilots will learn to appreciate this new level of realism.

It's not compulsory to fly fullreal... Easier modes are there.

It's not what I meant. My concern is that people won't fly on full real because it's so much more complex now. Even in IL2 1946 most df server have arcade settings.
I love full realism and I was looking forward to see more in COD. But if only a hand full of people fly online on full real... well... So hopefully there will be a lot of interest in full real settings on DF and coop server online.
