RE: Deadstick Landings
One thing I thought of myself and figured I'd offer it as a tip to others, for use with the simulator anyways, as I don't yet have an airplane, is this.
In Real Flight G4, I went to menu option Simulation/Flight Failures/Frequency/Always.
Then, to only allow failures for an engine out, deselect all the other options under Simulation/Flight Failures/Enable, only leaving a checkmark next to 'Kill Engine'
The 'Always' option, according to the manual, says each time you reset for a flight, something is guaranteed to go wrong, usually choosing some inconvenient time.
