I saw it at Sun 'n'Fun 2002 in Lakeland FL - too bad that FS doesn't support "mixed" engines...

The same way you can only have a maximum of four engines (of the same type).  It's programmed into the program.  

So, you cannot have two props and two jets, or six props and four jets (B-36), or eight jets (B-52), jet and booster rocket (Mirage III) , etc.

well, if ms can program it into the game, surely some of the talented FS programers could figure it out.  or we'll have the evil people at ms do it in 2 years :P  Yes that should be one of the next steps for ms-being able to have different engines(ooh, then we could have JTOW's!)
hmm, there must be away around it, maybe attach 2 planes together, one be a shadow plane you dont see(just flight info,no textures)and the other be the one you see. ???ive now confused myself, so ill stop.
