Enough to compare with real manual the item "preparing for fligth(take off, or so)"...
The main thing is that most active people will play online our sim and opnly periodically - single play. In online gameplay the procedure for real starting engine will limit very much gameplay, so we MUST go there fro compromises with reality. The only real starting procedure will reduce interest for the gameplay very much... as well as some other real features (like real ACTUAL time of refueling and reloading) - then you will get German or Russian plane ready more quiker than British or US.... This will damage the online gameplay be sure...

Well the best combination for me:
1) the ability to set in the difficulty settings "1 key engine start"
2) the "manual start", with only the common procedures of all aircraft, set the fuel tank, magnetos, etc.. a 4 or 5 keys will do it... .

Thanks for the reply, and for IL-2, the best WW2 aircraft simulator out there.
