Default Engine Room sub-systems

Is there a way of changing the name of the engines?

[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 2.EquipmentSlot 2]
ID= EqSlotSDE
NameDisplayable= No 1 & 3 Main Engine
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=GatoDEngine
UserCustomizable=No
IDLinkEquipmentIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, StbdGatoDieselEngine
ExternalNodeName3D= NULL
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= 21

Changing the above line to something else... the "something else" won't appear on the SubSystems page

Is it a hardcoded matter or I'm looking in the wrong file? (*.upc)

Any tips? Thanks

Thanks for the tip NEON but it might be in some other file

for example "Diesel Engine" subsystem, I found couple references on menu.txt file but all are "Diesel Engines" (plural) or Stb/Port Diesel Engine

Nah, NameDisplayable entries can safely be changed.
And besides, the game only rarely crashes if you screw up a .upc file. And if it does it's rarely caused by the upc file alone. (there are a few exceptions though so be warned, but upc files are relatively save to change)
If the game can't find the things mentioned in the upc file it just won't load them instead of CTD.
