payload problems

[gombocza]

hi,
I am sorry, but I am a new user with a question.
I am trying to use the FsPassengers with an ATR 42-500, and when I am trying to load the plane, with 100% FUEL AND NO
PASSENGERS and NO CARGO, the MTOW exess is 255 %.
I tryed with many payload models, it is the same. I tryed to modify the payload model, but I cannot do anything. please help.
Thanks

I have an additional question, I'd look myself but I'm flying from KSTL to KCLT Are the default .cfg files set correctly for empty weights?

Something is probably wrong with the aircraft weights or fuel load amounts in the cfg file.

From Airliners.net:

arrangement for 42 at 81cm (32in) pitch.
ATR-42 Cargo - Nine containers with a 4000kg payload.
