Default Why are multiple engines different?

The question was whether one could _take off_ on one engine, something
that MSFS will let you do. Sylvain explained that the Baron couldn't even
be taxied well enough to take off unless you had more space than an
airport that can accommodate B-52s.


But Sylvain has apparently not tried to taxi or to take off with one
engine, and apparently neither have you. So it's all just
speculation.

I tried it in the simulator, and it doesn't really work to any
practical extent. I fully expect that the real aircraft would behave
in much the same way.
