You have to be going fast to restart in air.

Boogabooga, that's only true for some propeller aircraft. These were usually started by a ground crew which turned a crank to turn over the engine. This is not visually represented in Il-2.
As for your difficulty with jets, you can only start the engine while parked at an airfield. Notice when you start an engine, you hear a buzzing sound like a little lawnmower? This is because jet engines were spun-up by a piston-powered starter that was operated by ground crew. If you look at a Me-262 photos you can see an attachment point on the tip of the fan cone. Modern jets are started by internal motors.
