It would be nice to not have to write out motor parameters that are already defined in an eng file when using an eng file to supply the thrust curve for a motor.
#309 addressed automatically adding the burnout time, but it did not implement that for the GenericMotor class. An additional variable that can be read from an eng file is the dry weight (the first line of an eng file specifies propellant mass and loaded/total mass (source), dry mass being the difference) for any motor class, and the initial mass for the GenericMotor class.
It could make RocketPy an easier tool to use to quickly compare how a rocket would perform using different motors, similar to Thrust Curve's motor guide but with a more advanced flight simulator.
