I looked over the files for the Connie and a bit for the Stratocruiser.

At this point I think the key is that we don't have to display a number that we're given; we can adjust it as necessary everywhere it gets displayed. This will be even easier than the changes I suggested in the 54 minute hour thread and we can adjust everything. The hard part will be to find everywhere that's "wrong" and test the heck out of it.

I am not a fan of using "fudge factors" in this way, but it's the safest way to make the changes as it only affects the actual display, not the numbers themselves. I can set it up easily enough to display either the stock numbers or the modified ones and change it on the fly, useful for testing if nothing else. I've found one place in the code where a change to one calculation might affect everything but this is an area where angels fear to tread as I don't know what hidden effects it might have.
