How to distinguish between SEP and TEP?

[AltairZQ]

Thanks for your replies. I agree with you Poden. What I'm doing is creating a new table with our company fleet and there I can say if they are
S(ingle)EP, B(i)EP, T(ri)EP, Q(uad)EP and P(enta)EP and so on! And of course any combination with T and J. I don't know if aircraft with more than 4
engines exist but hey better safe than sorry!

And thanks Dan for your help.. oh sorry you are too busy answering the thread about that math trick.

If you look the count post in the forum and the number of the mails I receive everyday
I'm sure you would agree that no humain can't read and answer to all post and mails.
(I reply to all important mails at least)

Anyway FsP doesn't know distinction beetween MEP and TEP internally.
Why exactly MEP doesn't do the job ?

Sorry Dan, guess I had a bad day and couldn't think straight. My sarcasm really looks ugly now.

The distinction is because in our Va there is this IFR title that allows you to fly twin engine turboprop aircrafts but not anything above that.

Thanks and sorry again.

Hello Sergi,

No problems we all have bad days sometime

About that value I just looked again to be sure but the N# of engines
is not exported at all. Only solution would be to make a guess
into the script based on the aircraft's name but that would not be
very reliable and would allow errors.

Best

Well what I'm doing is building up a database with all the aircrafts in the company and there I can store the number of engines and the type. Problem
is some pilots change the name in the aircraft.cfg and it's a mess but in time things will work I hope

Regards.
Sergi.
