Default Engine mounted off thrust line a bit

I agree, if the engine is offset to the right, you'll need even more right thrust than normal. For example, in the TwinStar the two engines are pointed outward, away from the fuselage center, at a gross angle. Even that angle is not nearly enough to allow normal control in an engine out situation, but it helps.

In the case we're talking about in this thread the effect is small.
