But do you own a multi-engine aircraft?

You are correct, I just can't proofread my own words, I see
what I meant to say.

First rule of aerodynamics, money makes lift.

Obviously those of us who are multi-engine instructors but don't own
twins have never flown a twin because we don't own one. The logic made
perfect sense to me, what's your problem? g

I've got a plastic model of one. At least it's better than a sim.

One reason is that MSFS doesn't use a physics model it uses tables to
simulate what will happen with a given set of control settings and
conditions. If the conditions at a particular time in the game are not in
the table it uses the nearest set.

With the advent of some really good physics models IN GAMES that are out
there it really surprises me that MSFS hasn't implimented one yet.


If the current model produces the correct results, there's no reason
to change. Which results are wrong?

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


I understood that he had neither flown nor simulated this particular
scenario with this particular plane. Ratings don't matter.

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.


So where is the official documentation for a Baron taxiing on one
engine, and what exactly does it say?

Finally, MSFS is not an aviation simulator, it is a game.


It's a simulator. In fact, many games are actually respectable
simulators under the hood.

Turbine engines cost a lot. I know a guy who bought a Bell 206 and shortly
after burned up the engine during start-up. That little booboo cost him in
the neighborhood of $80,000.


Sounds painful. How much does the entire helicopter cost, though?

It has quite a bearing on one's finances.
