Basic Curtiss C-46 - Flight ends with a sizzle?

I guess it's common knowledge by now that MS will release a "basic" (read cockpitless) C-46 on monday. The C-46 is a great transport aircraft, but basic is not exactly what most of us were hoping for

well worth the price of only 7 bux. Such a different flight model than the rest too...

The flight model is probably very good, but the real challenge of a twin engine aircraft is learning how to fly it on one engine. Is loss of the critical engine modeled properly? In the "basic" version we may never find out.
