So, yet again you are arguing with a pilot that flies REAL light
twins based on your experience that your flying game (MSFS is *not*
an aviation simulator) will act in a certain way? What value does
this have in an aviation group?

I've simulated it. He has neither flown nor simulated it, from what I
understand.

You don't understand much if you don't know what "...a commercial pilot
with a multi-engine rating..." means.

I suspect that pilots in real life aren't very inclined to try things
like taxiing on a single engine, since they have better ways to spend
their limited time with the aircraft. In a simulator, time is
plentiful, so you can try all sorts of things.

This is totally irrelevant. Prior to an aircraft being certified -- as
would be all commercially available light twins -- tests have been
performed under all conditions. Furthermore, long before one could obtain
a multi-engine rating, the behavior of their aircraft would be well known.
Finally, MSFS is not an aviation simulator, it is a game. The difference
is non-trivial.
