Maybe for the How-To you could add a short step-by-step guide on adding one of each type of thing to a model...?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

What are the "split[NN]" hidden subsystems, and what are they good for?

EDIT: What is the normal on engine glowpoints used for?

For the engine glow point normal, it's used to tell from what side you'll see the glow (yup, glows are not two-sided, and you know why? Coz FS2 clipping sux)

Ok, the normal is in XYZ coordinates. What are those coordinates relative to? Can I have a rear-facing normal simply by using 0,0,-1? Or if the glowpoint is at 20,20,40 does the normal need to be at 20,20,39?

Ok. Also, I put the glowpoint normal at 0,0,-700 once, and the second I got within an angle where I could see the engines, it tossed me around like I was colliding with a Sathanas or something! Luckily I was invulnerable, but why did it do that?

and normals are VECTORS - not 3d points (the data is the same but meaning different)
