Hey guys!!
I know it probably was discussed before but I have been noticing that with FSPassengers payload modification, aircrafts like the LevelD
or PMDG become very light on takeoff and landing. I know that with the PMDG it was hell to get it into the air when it was full with gas and
payload.
For some reason with FSPassengers the aircraft is light, even with 100% load which should make the aircraft a little "heavy" I believe.
Any of you guys have been experiencing the same problem?

Regards,

Teo

Which PMDG aircraft are you referring too? I frequently fly the PMDG 737NG, and have no problem with it and FSP.

I fly the PMDG 737-700 Winglets (Copa Airlines repaint) and sometimes the 737-800 (AA repaint).
Also the LevelD 767-300.
I might be wrong but I do feel it a little light on takeoff.

Regards,

Teo

Try downloading my payload model for the PMDG aircraft (it can be found on the "Download FSP" page). That might work for you. What's
your weight like at takeoff and landing? Could it be because you're carrying less PAX than normal?

Usually all my flights are almost full on the 737's. I've done good flights so new passengers keep on coming.
Usually I have a flight with 135 passengers which I believe is fine.
I will get your model to see if that helps.

Regards,
Teo

You shouldn't have any issues with weight. As long as your empty weight, and everything else checks out you should be alright!

Wich version do you have ?

there was a bug with for example italian passengers weighting 40kg in the previous version...
check passengers list and see if weight are normal

Hey guys,

Weights are normal for what I see but for example, if I want to fly the LevelD 767, I load up the aircraft in FSP, then I click on "Get Gross
weight" and I get a number.
The problem comes when I want to enter that weight into the FMC it doesn't let me.
It is lower than what the FMC in the 767 permits.
Have you seen this issue?
In the case of the 737 I think the weight is fine, it is more pronounced in the LevelD 767 package since I also notice that the gross weight
is a lot lower than it was before FSP.
Any suggestions?

Thanks much guys,

Teo

it's not the GROSS WEIGHT that you get with the button but the ZFW (ZERO FUEL WEIGHT)

The gross weight is on the payload manifest or in the payload dialog.

Hope it help ?

Oh damn! Can't believe I didn't notice that!!
Sorry for the confusion and thanks!!

Ok whre can I get the GROSS weight for the aircraft. I see everything including ZFW, Fuel weight, etc but no Gross weight.
Do I just add ZFW plus Fuel weight?
Do you look it up under a different name?
Strange cause I don't seem to find it in the manifest.

Thanks much for your help so far guys,

Teo

"GROSS WEIGHT* is shown as "total weight" on this picture:

You can find it also on the "pilot datasheet and load manifest" after loading your aircraft
you can also recall the "load manifest" with the kneeboard dialog.

Hope it help ?

Also, if you're flying an aircraft with an FMC, you can simply input the ZFW, and it will compute the GW for you.

teofilo · 10-09-2005, 06:33 PM

Great Tip SWAFO!
I will do that since it's easy to know that but also Dan pointed out how I can get the Gross weight as well.

Thanks much guys,

Teo
