Engine Change-out Aircraft.cfg Entries

I have Kazunori Ito's Mitsubishi F1M2 "Pete" float plane and the default engine entries in the .cfg file are for a turboprop engine. I'd like to change out the engine with recip engine data from an equivalent donor aircraft. I figure any .cfg entries for "turbine" or "turboprop" data need to be deleted right off, but what sections from the donor aircraft's .cfg file need to be copied and added into the Pete's .cfg file? :confused:
 
[General Engine Data], [Fuel], [Piston Engine]. and maybe [Propeller] Can't think of much more.
 
Just to play it safe, I'd also add the .air file from the aircraft you used for the recip. data.
You wouldn't have to rename it, just be ready to change the "sim=" line(s) at the top of each plane in the .cfg file. :unsure:
 
You will also need the below from donor aircraft .air.

506 *Throttle Profile
507 *Torque Factor vs Fuel/Air Mixture
508 *Torque Coefficient vs RPM
509 *Engine[Per Cyl]/TurboProp Friction Torque vs RPM

511 *Propeller Efficiency vs Blade Angle and Adv Ratio
512 *Propeller Power Coefficient vs Blade Angle and Adv Ratio
 
Umm.. you know the CFS2 one by Yashico (in library) will work in Fs9 too.... (you just have to add-in the user Interface section aka UI, and delete the .dp damage profile )

Nice! I never knew about that one. And I just found it easily in the library, with several versions with different skins. I always had trouble finding things in the old library but this was easy.
