I would like to use Complex engine management from the start, which some might say is a little unrealistic but what the heck.

Suggestion for this part.. well I'll just tell how I do it with my TM Cougar, works with at least 2 engine planes, no need for different profile for single engines:

I have one hat switch dedicated to engine selection like so, Up = select all engines, Down = deselect engines, Left = select left side engines, Right = select right side engines.

So the engine start procedure for a 110 for example goes something like this:
Fuel cocks open both(I do this by mouse)... Up, throttle 15%, down, left, engine start, down, right, engine start, up, open water radiators, open oil radiators 50%. And I'm ready for takeoff
