Dan, Sas, and I am sure FH will chime in.
What is your point. There was an incident. If another governing concept was used it could have ended up like the HAS Puma or the Qantas 380 with a turbine burst. I have been in many incidents where an engine went into manual or ran away due to fuel control issues. These were analog controlled engines far superior to anything you have, or claimed to have, flown.
All control concepts have benefits and drawbacks. Those who do this recognize it is a balance between responsiveness when needed or reducing future maintenance cost by not letting a pilot pull the power he needs,
I must assume XPlane basic heroes do not recognize this.
