LMAO...so true.

I have to admit the option would be kinda cool, but definitely not a deal-breaker for me. While immersion and vicarious experiences are the driving reasons I fly these things, I don't really need the complexity of true startup procedures...nor the misfires and mechanical failures.

I'll bet you all $5.00 you'd still buy the game if it spawned on the airstrip already running.

Hmmmmmm

Here's an idea then.............
as the AAA are going to be "mannable" how about having real time ground crew to start engines, sit on wings to help pilots taxi, change tyres clean pit wind shields............
OOhhh............
How about I have a phone in my cottage in SoW letting me know there's impending doom lurking in the skies over the channel..............Brrrriinnggg............"That you Pinkie ???" Yessss..........."Look smart old boy, Jerries decide to ruin tiffin this afternoon, there's a bit of a bee hive on the way with taters for us by the look of it"...... quaff quaff quaff .......

Ooooh and then I hop in in my AC Royal and whizz through the glorious country lanes to the nearest airstrip.................blah blah blah

I think 1c should just keep to the format that works best, click able pits is just not right for this style of sim, maybe a 777 plodding along at 40,000ft sure but trying to click switches in fighter planes ..........hmmmm ..................keyboard for me please any time......
As for start up procedures..lol..........what about cruise, attack and landing procedures ???? You're going to make pilots balance fuel turn valves set throttles use correct pitch and landing plates ? You might fool yourself that throwing some switches to start your plane adds immersion but it will soon stop at the first sight of the enemy and panic takes over
