*scares away all users that have no interest in a remotely accurate flight and just want to play a game within 100m*

Just to indicate that the use of autostart isn't limited to people that "do not care to read"

Anyway, the A320 can now be started up realistically. In the past, without the OHP modelled, many of the A320's systems couldn't be modelled, so an autostart system made sense (like the 772ER, which despite popular belief is not a very complete aircraft system-wise IMHO). Now, starting up is a challenge, and kind of fun in a way. The startup procedure, as Scott mentioned earlier, is really not very complicated- the only hard part is getting the electrical system down. And a lot of the best aircraft for FG seem to lack autostart systems- the A380, the most complete Airbus aircraft in FG, for instance. (Starting up the A380 is really not very hard, BTW, once you get it down. The tutorial makes you follow the rules. )
