Southwest 737

[ntsbasi]

Hello, I have downloaded the SWA config file, and installed it in the system. W. only have three choices: 737, 737 cargo, and 737-700 I
am flying the PMDG 737. When I try to load the airplane it gives me a VIP section as well as Econ class, SWA only flys an Econ class
config, I think 137 pax on the 700. Am i doing something wrong? Can someone create that config? and one more question, Do you have
to reload the A/C in FS once the A/C is loaded on FS PAX? Thank you for any help.
...BTW FS PAX is very nice.

I created that file, so I can help you out. You simply need to replace the PMDG737-700 configuration file with the one in the zip folder you
downloaded. After that, simply select the correct payload model when you go to start a FSP flight. You should have two large economy
sections (I know Southwest only has one, but the payload model was originally designed for two so I kept it that way), and a total seating
capacity of 137 PAX.

I'm a pilot for SWA, so I think for the most part I got the payload model right. Let me know if anything is wrong with it, or if you have any
other questions.

Brad,

I am going to "Virtually" purchase tonight in FSP a PMDG 737-700 BBJ repaint, for lack of a better description. Is the Config file in FSP
just not right for the PMDG stuff or is your file just for a Southwest 737 to make it a bit more realistic??

Vollmey,
The answer to both your question is yes. The default FSP PMDG737-700 payload file is fine, however it will occasionally give you
a "BAD CG" message during the takeoff. My file should fix this issue (except when you have weight imbalances, etc. as that is realistic),
and keep the CG in realistic limits. It also adds the correct available cargo weights and passenger seating options available on SWA.

Enjoy!

Thanks Brad.
