IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 does it! and it's very common with the Me-262. If you open up the throttle without caution, one or both of your engines will catch fire and possibly explode, that makes flying the aircraft somewhat difficult. Also I remember when I played IL-2 as a kid that I thought the 262 was an absolute beast and could beat anyone in the skies, and despite having high top speed and ridiculous firepower, the aircraft was a terrible dogfighter and I was getting clapped over and over by Soviet La-7 prop fighters lmao. Also I remember trying to solo a formation of B-17s and dying because .50 gunners would hit my exposed engine and it'll catch fire. What a fantastic game, it was made by a russian studio so they never bought that wunderwaffe crap even if they added german "what ifs", most of them are shite but fun to play.
I think they do that in Il-2 Great Battles (the current game), too. It's a really cool series!
