An example of the X-plane fault generation capability - the prop just exploded on takeoff. Actually prior to takeoff, I had a birdstrike on takeoff, but after landing all seemed well, and I decided to take off again, this time the outcome was a bit more extreme :)

Interesting note indeed. If you kill an engine the nose drops maybe because I was climbing... Anyway thats what XP threw at me :)

you'd think that a prop loss would pitch the plane down from the lack of prop wash on the horizontal stabilizer ... not pitch it up

that isn't an aborted take off. when you abort a take off you don't even get off the ground. You just roll down the runway.
