I write this post, as this function is rarely used and how to use it is not necessarily the first result in google , but is a nice option, a great addition to the game and essential (IMHO) to campaigns where the "taxi to take off" waypoints are implemented and you don't want even to  touch the "Autopilot" button, to force the AI wingmen to Start their engines (and yours!! ).

1-Open the Orders menu (TAB):

2-Select the units to whom you want to give the order, in this case the player only has one Schwarm under his command (3 AI planes).

3-Press "Q" to open the Technical Menu

4-Press "1" to issue the "Start engines" order and wait for confirmation from the units under your command.

5-Start your engines wherever you want using the proper procedures .

I hope this will be useful for anyone wanting to use this function.

Thanks for the heads up Aioros!
There's so many functions inside IL-2 which are rarely used, it definitely makes sense to post a reminder from time to time
