I presume there are multiple ways to simulate engine failure, depending on

how
much realism one is prepared to sacrifice.


Well, besides idling which you mentioned, what other ways were you speaking
of?

The engine hasn't actually failed, and in particular an idling engine is

very
different from a stopped engine.


Of course it is, but how does this have a negative affect on the simulation
of an engine out?

Why does this require a full-motion sim?


It doesn't, but many people here believe that anything that isn't moving

isn't
realistic.


OK, so does that mean you still consider a sim to be ideal for practicing
engine outs regardless of whether it is full motion or not?
