Chocks would be a good starting point. Either I've missed it or the options is not there yet.

F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all

I'm not quite sure about this, but afaik the battery was turned on by the ground crew, so I would like to have the option to tell the ground crew to turn the battery on/off, instead of having it turned on all the time.

Regarding the ground crew holding the tail for run-ups, it's even in the checklists on pp. 138 of the Spitfire Mk IX manual:

 

5.) When testing the motor, ensure the ff: - Completely pull on the stick. - Hold on to the aircraft’s tail with a weight of about 2 people.

Question - turning the battery on, was it a part of a startup procedure when the pilot was in cokpit or is it somethng that was done by ground crew as part of the pre-flight preparations - before the pilot even arrived to the plane?

I guess this was done in order to avoid prop hitting ground during engine tests. Would be a nice option to have.

Good question. I don't know about that and would like to hear an answer to that as well :)
