waht are those 2 big black knobs? the ones next the throttle, who look really big and important, yet they are of no use in our sim?

Those aren't knops/buttons.
Those are screws with nuts on each. This is an adjustable dead stop for the throttle. This cheap solution can be found anywhere in mechanical devices.
By old cars as an excample.

sorry Koddos, i mean the knobs/leavers, who are one to each side of the throttles on that image right side of the mouse.

Those are levers for cleaning the oil filter.

If I understand it correct it has a rotating filter in which the oil is pressed. This filter can be closed through dirt or abrasive materials of the engine. To clean it, you move the lever from one position to the other to move a brush, that will clean the cylinder filter.
I took that knowledge out of a DB 601 E-G handbook. But I think the principle will be the same on a DB 601 A.

Just more workload for CEM.

Edit: It states Anlaßpumpen (starter pumps), which is wrong labeled. The Anlaßpumpe is below the hinged metal sheet on the right side of the Fuel selector (not Pumpenschalter).
