PSS A340-200 - too high ZFW - vrapp - 09-04-2006
According to specifications, PSS A340-200 has maximum ZFW = 381.4 . However, FSP "load aircraft" dialog shows ZFW=418+ when fully loaded. Is this the fault of FSP or of the aircraft model?
thanks,

It might be the plane. You can check the Aircraft.cfg under [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] and see what it says there.
http://www.airliners.net says the empty weight for the A340-200 should be 277,775. And if you know the correct ZFW, then you should also be able to change it
here.
Remember to backup the file first.

If I understand correctly, the maximum ZFW = 265057 + 450 + 3000 + 33075 + 39268 + 1800 + 5400 + 31950 = 380,000 , while FSP shows 418,000+. The biggest difference, as I can see, is in the front and rear cargo: in FSP, it's 60,950 and 52,130 - instead of 33,075 and 39,068.
