Space Traveller Wanna-be
So the TX has 6 TRJ/SJHPE's ...or is that 12? Doesn't roll off the tongue either way!
Well, I see it as 6 TRJ/Scramjet with a (coded) maximum thrust with 8 MegaN (that 10 MN was an accident in the shutter monitoring that allowed the thrust modelling code to work beyond the specifications... :beathead: ) on atmospheric flying.
To space (or environments without oxygen) travelling, there're 12 LREs giving 12 MegaN of thrust max. Six of that LREs shares the same exhauster of that 6 TRJ/Scramjets ( how happens, I don't have a clue :-D ).
Ah, poking fun aside - your research into remodelling the Tx with more plausibility is fascinating! Thank you.
To tell you the true, my efforts ended up being more to justify the current modelling than remodelling, with few exceptions.
Now that I finally realized this lady weights more than 2K Tons, and can carry almost 500 Tons on her back, that huge numbers (and her behaviour while flying) makes sense.
I'm polishing up some HUD widgets one would (badly) need in order to land the lady without smashing the land gears. The gears can handle a lot of abuse without payload, but landing her loaded is tricky - I could not find the face to implement the 400 fpm and 600 fpm rules, there's no way that little gears could sustain such a load: I ended up throwing the safeties over the window and give her a narrow landing envelope.
But since most of the landings (theoretically) will happens with low fuel and no payload, most people will not notice the change.

In time...
What's a SJHPE ? I didn't found it on google...
