I'm just a bit worried that to many servers will enable the "full startup sequence" if it's available...

For me too, that's why the clickable virtual cockpit was invented. A very immerse and natural way to operate all the switches you maybe use just once or twice during a mission. I prefer to only map really important functions to my stick that I have to access quickly during critical situations.

But having to use the keyboard for all actions is still better than having no complex or more complex start up procedures and similar things at all. I hope some companies that now only work for MSFS will start making 3rd party, "as real as it gets" add ons for SOW series as well.
