After I started engines, I let the oil get 30-40°, then I carefully try to taxi out to the runway.
Every time I break something in an engine before getting anywhere. Seems like engines start to break att 55° oil temp. Also seemingly random failures (exhaust outlet, governor failure, oil gasket...)
It is also a real pain to taxi, must use brakes a lot.

Would need an engine-off-to-gear-up tutorial of some sort...

Track file zipped and attached. Cross Country quick mission, with cross wind, full CEM with overheat. I have singe throttle and single prop control levers. Track does not show how I switched between port and starbord engines to give more power to the starboard engine during takeoff roll. Time from 1st flip of a switch to wheels up: 10min 13 sec.

Track also doesn't show the carb heat levers as I was testing them. All you need to know is to move them both forward any time before take off and leave them that way.
I have my numpad keys mapped for engine selection to quickly move to each and both engines: 0 = both
1 = engine 0
2 = engine 1
