Four engines instead of six

[Tony V]

I know that FSX has a limit of 4 engines. I recently downloaded the Me323 Gigant and it has six engines. In my process of tuning the aircraft.cfg, I was wondering how would I modify the engine parameters.

For the sake of discussion I am using roundabout numbers. If the 6E plane's engines are rated at 1000hp with 14 cylinders and each cylinder has a displacement of 150, that would give the plane a collective 6000hp, 84 cylinders, and 12,600 inches. But because FSX only recognizes 4 of those engines, how would I keep the collective numbers but modify them in the config for 4 engines?

In this case would the numbers be:

1500hp, 21 cylinders, and leave the displacement at 150;
1500hp, 14 cylinders, and 225 inches;
would I modify the thrust scalar by 150%;
or what?

Actually you can have more than four. A friend of mine had duplicate lines in the config file which gave him eight engines! The result was amazing acceleration on take-off.

However, for purposes of individual engine control the limit would be four.

Since you want six, try adding another two then you may not have to mess with the engine performance.
