how do i add an engine to a plane?No,i havent drink alchocol,my f-18 blue angel came with only one engine?!?!?!the other is textured but it doesnt work?!
Not quite sure what you are asking here :-?
Are you trying to add a physical engine to a existing aircraft or trying to improve the performance of an existing engine.
There is no way to add another engine to a existing model and i am not sure what effect it would have if you made entries in the aircraft cfg file for a engine that is not actually there would be it might work. The tricky part is figuring out where to place it notice the numbers after each engine. You have to tell it where to put the engine at make a wrong entry and it could cause all kinds of problems.
below is the entries for the default B737-800
notice the two entries under engine.0=
and engine.1=
