@Taskforce here's a guide to rampstart in FF5(a little less complex than in OF)
You must look for the mentioned button

It's all done in 2D cockpit

Switch parking brake
Switch the main electrical power two times.(near the throttle)
On the external light panel switch the necessary external lights on(this is not critical). Something like tail, wing, flash/steady, master ext light switch must be on but this is already set by FF5.
Set master fuel switch, turn fuel engine feed knob to norm
Turn air source knob to norm
Turn on the engine by switching the start switch once to start 2. RPM will rise to 25%.(get to this view by pressing the numpad 6 after seeing the throttle)
Increase throttle to 70% approximately. Switch a leveler on the left side of the throttle. engine rpm will increase to 70%(idle). before it reaches 70% decrease throttle all the way down.
Switch on all avionics switches in the avionics panel section: MMC, ST STA, MFD, UFC, GPS, DL. Turn the INS knob to norm. The DED(data entry display) right of the hud should come to life.
On the panel section named SNSR power(sensor power) swirch left hardpoint, right HDPT, FCR and radar altimeter(this last already swirched in FF5)
On the HUD and ICP(Integrated command panel) rotate the SYM knob until the HUD comes alive(increasing brightness)
On the DED(data entry display) to the right of the HUD, you will note INS x/90. You will have to wait until X rise and the number 90 falls down. When X is 8.1 or closer to 10 you are ready to go(the DED and HUD will blink RDY and ALIGN respectively). when x is 8.1 or close to 10 go back to avionics panel turn the INS knob to NAV from norm. Do this by left clicking on the knob once.
Close the canopy, there's a yellow puller on the left side of the cockpit.
Arm the seat, click the ejection controls locked yellow written bar.
Still in the same 2D view, turn on a small button named power to turn on EWS and countermeasures system.
Still there switch RWR on, JMR on, CH on, FL on. Turn mode knob to MAN
Click on the left MFD the stby OSB button then choose CRM
Switch external landing light
Check INS! Is it aligned yet(8.1-10)?
If so press 'Shift /', the only missing button in ramp start). This is to activate wheel steering.
Contact tower asking for taxiing, control steering by rudder. gently move the throttle slightly forward to 75-80 percent.
K is the wheel brake button. Hold to brake.

Don't forget to switch master arm. And turn off those external lights. You are flying the viper into a warzone in fact you are legitimate target to the enemy since you got into the cockpit in the first place

Happy hunting
