December 23, 200916 yr I am trying to take an existing aircraft and change one of the engines as if it were a factory/manufacturers test bed for a very different engine.I don't see any way to do this but have limited experience with these kinds of changes and know almost nothing about the .air file. When I look at the .cfg for the Captain Sim 727-100 that has an unducted fan for engine #3 I see no change in any engine parameters. It looks to be like the visual model was changed but the engine dynamics remained as they were for the JT8D-15. Given that I'm guessing it is not possible to have two different engine types on the same AC.Can I do it?

You can define the location of the engine, but not differentiate it from the other engines on the aircraft. Maybe someone can confirm this?
