If not then will there be consequences if you run your engine too hard after not warming it up?

No, for me, I don't need to have as much realistic detail on the flightline as I do in the air.

I'm not advocating against it, but it'd be too bad if we get a 21 point engine start procedure and lose a damage model detail as a result. With the exception of coops, most people don't spend much time in pre-flight procedure...not even in the servers with runway obstacle courses like Spits-109's.

LOL, ya its hard enough to get people to take the few seconds to taxi correctly let alone spend the time to do a correct startup procedure. It would be cool but Oleg has made some very good points as to why it will not be included and I have to agree. Leave the startup procedures to the civilian sims as there are far more important things to address in a combat sim.

S!
