It also calculates a Delta-V figure for each type of engine and displays it under the entry field for that engine, and displays the single best Delta-V on the the Vehicles Table.

It is showing the fuel--that is a nice feature--and the high thrust switch is working, but I still cannot get it to accept alternate fuels. For example, the antimatter thermal engine uses hydrogen and with the generic fuel or hydrogen it works fine. If I switch over to water, it behaves as if I had not added a fuel tank at all. Or am I just doing it wrong?

Thanks again for all your work on this. What a cool program!
