As mentioned in #547 (comment) the engine position and orientation data is read in but isn't used, it's only the thruster's location and orientation that matter, which causes confusion.

Thanks for the PR.
I'd suggest using the method Element::ReadFrom in the warning messages to help the user locating the origin of the warnings.

Also the test CheckScripts displays 10 times the warning message Engine location ignored, only thruster location is used. and 10 times the warning message Engine orientation ignored, only thruster orientation is used.. I guess we should remove these elements from our aircraft definitions in order to avoid confusion when users review our aircraft models as examples.

The changes I have suggested above for the C++ code of the PR should help locating these now useless elements <location> and <orientation>.

Correct, I was planning on doing that next once this pull request is approved and merged in.
