payload model modification - FSfreak - 01-08-2005

hi all, i am requesting a modification of the 777-300 payload model, i cannot load all the passengers onto the plane or else my MTOW
will be exceeded

here is the weight and balance section of the default 777-300 aircraft.cfg

[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
max_gross_weight = 660000 // (pounds)
empty_weight = 347800 // (pounds)

reference_datum_position = 0, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord, centerline, waterline)
empty_weight_CG_position = -12, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datum

max_number_of_stations = 50

station_load.0 = "170.0, 86.0, -2.0, 0.0, Pilot" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.1 = "170.0, 86.0, 2.0, 0.0, Co-Pilot" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.2 = "850.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, Crew" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.3 = "850.0, 52.0, 0.0, 0.0, First Class" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.4 = "1870.0, 11.0, 0.0, 0.0, Business Class" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.5 = "3740.0, -30.0, 0.0, 0.0, Coach 1-16" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.6 = "2550.0, -72.5, 0.0, 0.0, Coach 16-29" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.7 = "2000.0, 47.0, 0.0, -6.0, Forward Cargo" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_load.8 = "500.0, -67.0, 0.0, -6.0, Aft Cargo" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)


;Moments of Inertia
empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 18000000
empty_weight_roll_MOI = 5500000
empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 16300000
empty_weight_coupled_MOI= 0.0

thanks

Hi,

I think that if you want to load max passengers according to aircraft capability, you may not carry max fuel and/or
max cargo. Then you will be OK, under MTOW.
Note that MTOW cannot be edited Wink It depends on aircraft power and structure. Do you want to break her body
while in flight ? Bad bad Wink

For instance, load 100% pax, + 20% cargp + 80% fuel and you'll see you're at 99% MTOW, so green light. OK for
dispatch Smile
