Engine limitations

The maximum numbers of certain types of entities that can exist in the FS2_Open engine. Please note that 'Inferno' refers to INF builds, developed to boost limits at the cost of multiplayer compatibility. Inferno and regular builds are incompatible to each other in Multiplayer; someone using an Inferno build will not be able to play with someone using a regular build and vice versa. Those builds are named after the Inferno mod, but are extensively used by many other projects, like TBP.
