Inconsistent Pre-flight engine scaling math. #48

Description

@ConCon2

Attaching a maxed out (I think) 2.5m thermal turbojet to a Mk 4 2.5m peddle bed reactor and setting it to atmosphere the max predicted thrust is about 3,000kN. Scaling it down to 1.875m then back up to 2.5m it says max thrust is 1,687kN. Scaling it up to 3.75m then back to 2.5 it says max thrust 2,500kN. What is happening just based of the info in the engines gui box the "radius" and "exit area" is inconsistent with the scaling slider. The smaller the adjustments of the scale the less significant the radius and exit area inaccuracy.

I have not tested whether or not this effects there actual performance.
