Question about Level-D 767

[James]

Hello all, I tried searching the forums for my question but failed to find an answer. What I'm wondering is that in the LDS Configuration Manager it
calculates your needed trim form the payload a fuel entered in. I understand that with FsP it uses its own payload and fuel measurements from its
payload models yet a ZFW is only given. How am I supposed to find out the needed % trim? I need to know this to put it into my FMGC. I've never
actually tried any payware plane with FsP yet so I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how it works with the config manager being used...

Either don't let FSP set the weights (there's an option for that in moreoptions.cfg I think) and continue to use the LDS manager, or try to find
manuals/tables/performance data for the 767 which will let you calculate the trim.

Looks like I may have to read the performance manual for the trim settings and calculate them manually as theres no option to disable FsP loading its
payload weights, but I'm not sure I'd disable that anyway as there are some aircraft that I wouldn't want this disabled for. Cheers for the info
anyway though nem, much appreciated.

EDIT: Anyone know where I can get my hands on charts and tables for the LDS 767? lol

Yes there is. From the more_toption.cfg file:

DisablePayloadDialogWeightModif =0; // This will forbid payload dialog to modify any weight

but I'm not sure I'd disable that anyway as there are some aircraft that I wouldn't want this disabled for

You'd have to switch it back on then. I know it's not very comfortable to do this from the cfg file, I don't know why it wasn't just made a checkbox
in the payload dialog either...
