Default Why are multiple engines different?

Well it seems the one we are talking about earlier in this thread.


Nobody has tried it for real, so nobody knows.

Pilots that fly the planes told you that real planes won't do
something and you stated that it would do it in the sim.


They are speculating; I'm not. They haven't actually tried it in the
real aircraft, nor have they attempted it in simulation. I simulated
it and succeeded. So I have more experience with it than they do.

That is an example of a problem related to the lack of a physics
model. Nobody wrote a table for that particular condition so it
has to default to the closest thing it can find. The outcome is
not one that happens in the real world.


You haven't done it, either, so you don't actually know that.

Which part of the model doesn't work for this situation? What's
special about the situation that can't be simulated correctly?
