I have a question about the parameter EngThrust in the PlaneID.CFG file. Is that value for one engine or a combined total for all engines. For instance, I have several aircraft equipped with the CFM56-7B1, which produces a maximum thrust of 19,500 lbs. This engine is equipped on several of my B737's (TwinJet) and in the B737.CFG file I have it entered as EngThrust=19500, but also on a KC-135 and EC-3B (4-Jets) with the same entry. So, does the config file pickup the 2 vs 4 configuration...39,000 for the 737 and 78,000 for the 707 frames?
Or, does it really matter and that parameter is simply eye-candy and a visual cue for the pilot on the Smith's FMS Initial Startup Page?
Thanks
Randy
