The last two messages I posted regarding the B-17 were a bit
tough if you haven't done any of this thing before.  I
didn't have the chance to look them over before they were
imported.

Here is a simple DEBUG script that I would recommend you try
to reset the engine "toughness" and "burn-out" bytes for the
B-17.  FIRST: make a back-up of the B17F.SPC file (in the
\SWOTL\AC\ directory) before proceeding!!  We recommend
keeping back-up with the extention .ORI (for original) of
ALL the palane .SPC files.  (ie: COPY B17F.SPC B17F.ORI)

Now, from the \SWOTL\AC\ directory, enter the following:
   DEBUG B17F.SPC
   E 117 C0(enter)   (NOTE: That's a "ZERO", not an "Oh")
   E 119 CC(enter)
   W(enter)
   Q(enter)

Now try your B-17F on a mission.  If you like it, do the
same with the B17G.SPC file (remember to back it up first!).
I would also recomend that you copy the two NEW B17*.SPC
files to files with an .EXP extension (for experimental).
This way you can "restore" the original setting by copying
the .ORI files over the .SPC files, or change back to the
modified ones with better engines by substituing the .EXP
files.  The use of SWOTL MANAGER by Anthony Shimizu makes
this VERY easy!

Please note that I do not spend much time on the P* boards
as it is too expensive and I own this account jointly with
my sister.  I can be reached on AOL (screen name MUTH) or on
the Fido-Net or RIME "Games" and "Flight Sims echos" on a
daily basis as these have FREE e-mail.
