Downloaded the minitweaker and files, checked some figures. According to the .sim file for the Clemson class, speed is 35 knots, SHP is 27,000 HP and max prop rpm is 572; for the C&D class the figures are 36 knots, 36,000 HP and 500 rpm. While in both cases the figures for speed and SHP are correct, the figures for rpm for the C&D class is way out- the correct figure according to several reference books should be 350 rpm. Unfortunately, I don't have any rpm figure for the Clemsons; checking the Hunt (I) class similarly shows an incorrect figure for prop rpm- 500 vs. real figure of 380 rpm.
Tried the effect of changing the name NDD_Clemson to NDE_PB102 in the .sim file by simply changing the name for rudder and the props in the RH column, suffice to say that the props still work after the name change, as does the rudder. Changing the name also changes the hex values so I think that it can be safely done.
Now to figure out how to change the speed, power and rpm values...............
