Thanks for the kind words Omarza. I too think that my answer was pretty straightforward, and simple to understand. The original poster
(Robert) asked:
(a) Whether you should/shouldn't use the PMDG Aircraft Loader and whether this conflicts with FSP, and
(b) Whether one should/shouldn't use the alternate Payload Model available in the D/L section of this website
Ok, let me respond:
(a) Did I mention this in my step-by-step layman's termed tutorial? No... so don't use it. I mentioned to use the FSP LOADER... use that!
(b) Who created that alternate payload model that you've heard of? Me... so do you think I use it?
The C/G issues with the PMDG are MINOR, it's a problem with PMDG, not with FSP, FS9, or any other program. PMDG has their CG
values set incorrectly for alerts (occasionally you'll get a message saying the CG is out of range and the aircraft isn't flyable). This
message doesn't seem to affect ANYTHING at all, and the aircraft is certainly flyable after receiving this message.
Many of us have no issues with the PMDG 737. Any issues we may have are minor in nature, and don't detract from the overall
experience. Keep in mind that this is a simulator, and as a simulator it will be flawed! You can't expect everything to be perfect (however
it's as close as current technology will allow)!
