Supersonic Mach edit

Hi, can anyone help me with this - I played a bit with flight tunning on Stratojet (Excalibur). I increased engine thrust enabling me to travel higher than 4.00M My problem is that on main panel autopilot I can set max M number (by default) 3.00M Which file/number do I have to edit to be able to set 4.00M on main panel? Thx!

Check out the lines below you can try changing any of these numbers and see what happens. you might have to make adjustments in the .air file as well. You will need aired for that.
I have never messed around with theses numbers so I do not know what effect it might have so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and backup before you do anything. 8-)
