This goes to my "Open Information" thread.
I think that any changes to FM/DM/weapons/etc should be very well documented in a readme. Ie:
Ie:
Extinguishers added to the following engine types (type, subtype, and number of extinguishers shown):
PrattWhitney_R-2000_Series:
R-1830-86
Extinguishers 2
and so forth.
That way someone who might actually have the data can see it and say, "hey, you have 2 charges on the 1830-86, but my pilot's manual here says it had 4 charges." If it is a black box, then someone with that data must instead post a question, "How many extinguishers does the 1830 have, I just got a pilot manual and it says 4 charges."
Easier to just be 100% open.
