If an aircraft's engine dies mid flight pure physics of falling generates speed and the plane at speed generates lift so you slowly descend in a (semi) controlled manner. In a flight sim you just plummet to the ground unless someone thought far enough ahead to your virtual engine dying and implemented ambient aerodynamics to make sure a gliding mechanic would work.
