Default Why are multiple engines different?

As stated earlier, the more you open your mouth, the less credibility you

my post on the definition of simulation and simulator.


The laws of mathematics apply equally to simulators and to real
aircraft. All else being equal, the chance of an engine failure in a
twin is higher than it is in a single, but the chance of total
powerplant failure (all engines) is lower.
