Just a guess as I've never tried (I personally always take off manually before autopiloting with faster time to the area of conflict) but have you tried manually starting the aircraft first before engaging the autopilot? It is possible the autopilot doesn't have the ability to start the engine itself? I know some aircraft/game versions require the throttle set around 1/4, give or take to catch and start.

As for cockpit, I'm not sure either actually. I feel like I accidentally found it once a year or two ago but honestly couldn't tell ya what it was now. This thread has what I assume the default key map is so might give you a clue? https://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4564310/basic-questions-about-eaw#Post4564310

This is a cut and paste from the ini just scroll down in it to the re-mapable keys section
Not sure what the Decimal key is .I just remapped mine to a stick button or you can edit it to a free key
PADLOCK CURRENT TARGET=MULTIPLY
PADLOCK CLOSEST TO CENTER=DIVIDE
COCKPIT ON/OFF=DECIMAL

Anther possibility is the degree of difficulty in config wink
If you set your combat skill level to green the cockpit toggle works. Anything higher and you cannot turn the cockpit off.

I cannot recall them exactly, but a number of things are turned off depending on skill level. Padlocking is for certain, and I suspect that F9 viewing is another.
At ace level snap-views are off, and things like "target closest enemy".

I set my throttle to just over 50% and hit Ctrl-1 to start the engine.
Once it is running smoothly I increase the throttle to 100%
Then I hit "B" to release the brakes.

Another possibility is to hit Alt-N to get to the next waypoint.

Re-being shot at:

I set this up in "Reduced UAW160V4" so that the only allied plane is me:

Approaching the bombers they started shooting at me:

I put wing leveller on for this and watched in F9.
There's a 110 on my six and he is shooting at me:

...........and he got me:

This was a fighter sweep in a Me110c. I was soon shot down by an AI Pony smile
