Want to increase HP in a Stearman.

[Dondo 0]

Is there an easy way to do this in FS2k2? I'd like to take one of the Stearmen I have and up the horsepower to about 400. Make a Super Stearman.I know zeltch about the aircraft editor. Are there any applications that can do this easier then the FSedit?Thanks for any help.Pieter

You could always just edit the aircraft.cfg in notepad directly. These lines have the biggest impact on HP for prop engines:cylinder_displacement=xx.xxcompression_ratio=xx.xxx number_of_cylinders=xIncreasing your cylinder displacement is probably the most effective way, and in tandem, the compression ratio. I created a "Super Lancair" in much the same way. It's a piston prop FDE that cruises at 450KTS....
