I've legit soloed a C150 and couldn't get the plane started lmao, appreciate the pilot representation though!

Well I am not a pilot and have actually never been anywhere near a Cessna. Most of the engine starting procedure is a mix of stuff from flightgear (free simulator), other simulator videos and stuff I read or watched online.
Perhaps the checklist is different for starting a c150 ? I can't imagine that it is too much different. All planes start with the battery doing a primer stroke and setting the magnetros + ignition, adjusting mixture and throttle release the brake and you are already flying. I have a more detailed description in the game comments down below, I would love your expertise on the accuracy.
Nah, you have it pretty spot on! It's been a while since I've flown so I had to relook it up myself for some bits. I think the only part from my experience is the throttle isn't usually so easy to start the plane up. The one I flew was ancient, so you had to sort of ease it in/out like a lawnmower. Pretty hard to put that in a game though!
Random tidbit but most planes have the pre-check list somewhere in the cockpit since even trained pilots usually refer to it, maybe that could be a way to give the player some aid?
