−
How quickly the craft burns afterburner fuel. The lower the value the more time is needed to burn the available fuel.
 
−
====Afterburner Recharge Rate====
 
−
How quickly your afterburner fuel recharges. Lower value makes faster recharge.

+
*'''Guns'''
−
====Default PBanks====
+
**Lists the number of primary weapons (=guns) in the bank in question.
−
Defines which weapons are mounted on the craft when it is placed in FRED. Must be in the following format: <br>
+
*'''Standard Loadout'''
−
