PAYLOAD HELP!!!

[saab340pilot]

Hello, I have been using fspassengers for quite some time now and i decided to use it on my Saab 340B by Mike Stone. When I
opened "load passengers" a window came up that read some thing like: AIRCRAFT NOT COMPATIBLE... and at the bottom it had a
button to modify the aircraft. I hit that button and reloaded the aircraft. After that, i tried to load on the passengers but a window came up
reading "change not reconized (or something similar)" once again, i reloaded the aircraft, and the same message came up!!!So I did as it
also said "restart flight simulator" after doing that "change not reconized" came up AGAIN!!!!I reloaded, restarted, everything!! What's the
Problem???

-Please help me out!

[ivo]

did you try downloading a payload model for the A340B from the more downloads area?

Thanks for your help, sorry i did not see that in the FAQ's. I will try and fix that, and no when i tried installing the paload model nothing
seemed to happen diffrently. It would just do the same thing.

Thanks again :-)

prob need to rename the payload you have installed

The aircraft.cfg file needs to look like this, after fixing the problems under the [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] tag (Note there is a bogus [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] section near the bottom of the file, which needs to be removed, and the [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] tag inserted at the appropriate place near the top of the file. Additionally, at lease one load station should probably be added to the [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] section):

[saab340pilot]

Ok, thanks i will try and rename the payload model, that was probibly the problem :-), and also i sent the aircraft.cfg file over to Dan so he
could help me, as am not good with computers! Or should I copy and pate that file above into my aircraft.cfg?

Thanks for your help

[saab340pilot]

Got it!!! I replaced my aircraft.cfg with the above file. Thanks everybody, I greatly appricitate it!!!!!!!!
