Why are multiple engines different?

actually you have been told, repeatedly, but you apparently
refuse to believe it.

No. I've seen assertions that it is wrong, but no illustrations.

Perhaps you should go through the posts once again. I remember seeing at
least one post describing the technique used by MSFS to arrive at flight
parameters, and I seem to recall you replied to it (!).

None the less, it's probably it's the same for other pilots as it is for
me; MSFS doesn't behave in the same way as the real planes that I've tried
with it (e.g. C172), and that's good enough for me to say that it is not a
real aviation sim, because the real ones DO behave similarly to the real
thing.

My question is, if I can't keep a MSFS plane in the air, and have never
crashed on actual airplane, what does that say?

That simulation is more difficult than the real thing, which is
something that many pilots have told me. The lack of movement, the
differences and limitations of the physical controls, and the more
limited visibility probably have a lot to do with this.

Describing the technique is not describing the errors (if any).

Which C172 model were you using, and what were the discrepancies
between real life and the simulation? And what version of MSFS was
it?
