	*mfg= ~~text string.~~ Manufacturer.		Boolean values are represented by either the integer 1 for true or the integer 0 for false. Note that all attributes, including numbers, must be passed in as strings (in quotation marks). If the motor file is poorly formatted (values are missing or incorrect), OpenRocket will not display them in the motor menu, and the error message can only be viewed in the Debug Log under Help.
