According to the FAA type certificate for the Zeppelin NT the engines are of the type IO-360-C1G6. The Lycoming IO-360 line is further described in TCDS 1E10, but I must admit that I have problems sorting out which information belongs to what engine variant in that document. Up until this update I had only used the IO-360C config from JSBSim as is and power is one of the settings I didn't change. In this wikipedia article it seems somebody has managed to read TCDS 1E10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lycoming_O-360_variants and states 200hp for the C1G6. It might be worth trying this higher setting in FG. In particular as the NT currently falls a few knots short of Vne :) (though one has to realize that both drag and propeller performance are guesstimated.)
