Extended full-power in small pistons

True, but nowadays most of the complexity is in the G1000, not the
engines.
I'd trust a FADEC in an airliner long before I'd trust a G1000. Many
glass
cockpits are far too complex and far too poorly tested.

An airplane will keep flying without a PFD, all of which require backup. It
will not keep flying without an engine- another example of your flawed
logic.

It's odd that pilots would object to a more modern engine on the one hand,
but
are more than willing to install the iffy technology of a glass cockpit.

In your limited opinion it is iffy technology, but it doesn't matter anyway,
since you'll never use it other than in a game.

In reality, most piston engines simply require
setting the power for take off, then cruise, and finally descent. It is
not
hard at all to do, nor does it add dramatically to the work load (and I
have
two engines to consider in my plane).

So losing things like mixture and prop control really wouldn't take
anything
away from the pilot, anyway. So why not do it?

I never said we should or should not do it- another example of your twisted
responses.

Rather than defend or justify Anthony's now increasing list of comebacks
and
partial responses, or criticising the other posters, why not answer his
question?

Why haven't you answered the question yourself?

Because the premise of your question was incorrect, and you are a non
sequitor.

An airplane without any instruments will fly perfectly well. It's the pilot
who becomes the problem when instruments fail.

True, that's one of the advantages of simulation. I'm not betting my life on
inadequately tested software.

Because the premise of your question was incorrect, and you are a non
sequitor.

Then why do you suggest that others answer the question? This seems
inconsistent.

A ridiculous, childish line of reasoning.
