Default Why are multiple engines different?

Vmcg is the speed where you can't maintain heading with the

rudder is ineffective and some airplanes have steering
problems with tire geometry.


by the way, that's one of the things that MS FS gets
wrong with the light twins: with a long enough runway you
can takeoff with only one engine...
