-**How to set the MCM version**
+**How to change the MCM version**
 
 The default version of the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM) is **v3.3.1**. This
 means that AtChem2 uses the list of RO2 in the file `peroxy-radicals_v3.3.1`
 and the photolysis rates parameters in the file `photolysis-rates_v3.3.1`.
 
-To use previous versions of the MCM, change the corresponding lines in
-`build/mech_converter.py` (for the peroxy radicals) and
-`src/inputFunctions.f90` (for the photolysis rates).
+The filenames are hard-coded in the AtChem2 source code. This will change in future
+versions of AtChem2, see [issue #297](https://github.com/AtChem/AtChem2/issues/297).
+For now, to use previous versions of the MCM change the corresponding lines in
+`build/mech_converter.py` (for the peroxy radicals) and `src/inputFunctions.f90`
+(for the photolysis rates).
