It is not a matter of time, it is a matter of awkward X-Box-fashion thumb-dancing for a function that in reality was most commonly handled by simple lever. It is absurdity to decry my simple request too "unrealistic" in a game with one-button engine start/stop, autolevel and autoclimb, automatic trim, automatic takeoff, one button WEP on/off, auto-retracting flaps, etc.
