Default FADEC = complex

Of course, neither setup can prevent a sudden cylinder failure, or oil
pump, or fuel pump, or vacuum pump, or other such mechanical
commonality.


Note, however, that digital systems are _far_ more likely to react to
unexpected events in a very extreme way. An oil-pump failure can
cause a catastrophic system failure almost instantly if the digital
system isn't designed to take into account the possibility of an
oil-pump failure.
