If one has an engine failure and there's an open runway nearby, and one has too much energy to fly a stabilized approach, but not enough energy to fly a 360 degree circle to bleed off energy, an unstabilized approach to the runway might be better than a stabilized approach that lands off the runway. | |

Your answer provides the correct procedure to land in such a situation, but that doesnt mean Flight Simulator was unrealistic. What the OP described would also happen in real life if you chose to land that way. "Not recommended" or "not the correct procedure" would be better wording. | |
