Still haveing problems with the CG for pmdg

[stevepow]

Well im still getting the message "CG NOT IN TOLERANCE, AIRCRAFT UNFLYABLE" i put the updated CG file that i downloaded from
here but nothing seems to work. What am i doing wrong do i need to change the file name or something. The plane that i use is the
pmdg 737-700 the name of the plane that i use is the southwest airline with wnglets when i choose the type of plane i can use when
making a flight i only get 3 options
1. 737-800
2. 737-800(cargo)
3.737
I dont get an option for pmdg or southwest so can someone please tell me what i have to do to fix this
Thank you

Hi, i have also this kind of problem. So I hope somebody can help us here.

I like this program very much, and it gives a little bit more realistic to our flights. But something can be more in this program, when you make a
good landing, i miss the applause from the pax.

Thanks for help.

Howdie Steve,
Well i checked your data against mine and saw almost (!) no difference.
I use the PMDG 737-700.ini loadfile (downloaded form FSP and made for the Soutwest config). Put the file in the loadfiledirectory. I can
see from the corresponding PMDG 737-700 picture that you use the right one (there is also an PMDG 737-700.jpg in the loadfile
directory. There is no difference in data between the 737-700 with or without winglets (although in real life there is a difference saving
fuel).
PMDG 737-700 must be written in the title of the plane (aircraft.cfg) only then the PMDG 737-700 loadfile pops up. Even a space to much
between PMDG and 737-700 can ruin the match.
You have B737-700 Southwest in the title of the plane you boughtin FSP .... That's why the PMDG 737-700 won't load. Sell the plane,
Make it PMDG 737-700 Southwest... in the title (aircraft.cfg) and buy the new one (or start a new company).

Furthermore i suggest you to empty the plane first with the PMDG loadmanager and then let FSP 'correct it).
This explaines the only difference between your and mine aircraft.cfg

This will do the trick (80% certain).
No more CG errors unless you overload the plane (FSP loadpage) and disregards the CG (keep /\ in the middle).

Good luck

Ok im trying this for the last time. I have tried a few times to get help for this problem. Maybe i have not gotten the answeres i
needed because i did not give enough information. so i have spent the last hour putting this together. Well im still getting the msame CG
message when i takeoff even though i updated the CG file that i downloaded from this site. So i am showing 8 pictures that might help
someone figure out why im having a problem. ok so here it goes.

(1) In this pic you can see that the station loads have been added correctly


(2) This pic shows the title for the aircraft that i am using


(3) This pic shows the aircraft that i am using as you can see it has winglets, now im not sure if that causes a problem



(4) This pic shows the aircraft detail



(5)This pic also shows the aircraft detail



(6) As you can see in this pic I only have three options to choose from. I also noticed that the pic that's used for this profile is not
right there is a pic for the pmdg 737-700 and one for just 737-700 but im not sure if im correct or not.


(7) In this pic you can see the file folder for the payloads

So after seeing all of these pics can someone tell me whats wrong and what i have to do so that i dont get that CG
message anymore

Steven Pow

Could this problems happends whit the Pmdg 737-800/9 to..?

[ntsbasi]

I am having the same problem, except I do not have a CG problem...try down loading the SWA 737 file in the D/L area

Is there anyway of using the original aircraft payloaders and then tell FSP how many passengers are we carrying?

I just use 2 planes with this program but i can´t complete the first flight for to reasons...

2 reasons >> 2 aircraft

Cause i get the CG error message in the PMDG wich is one of the planes i use...

Cause the other plane i use is LevelD 767 and i just don´t know how to create a payload for this model, and a payload that gives me CG/trim setting
for entering in the FMC. I think this can olny be achieved in the original 767 payloader.

[DanSteph]

this problem was already discussed... I'm sure there is some workaround
but as I don't hown this aircraft I cannot tell you exactly.

I'll work on this problem for the next update (I'll buy pmdg just to see and find a solution)

Dan

[tiagoblanquet]

How about LEVEL D?

I´ve readed somewere in the forum that some user could loadup de 767 LevelD with the FSP payloader

Do i need to download something or just use the provided payload for 767-300?

Other question is where do i get the CG/trim setting needed for entering in the FMC, in the program payloader?

Steve,
You've got to make the company name Southwest Airlines, not SouthWest Airline.... at least this is what I did, and I've got all the
various options available, including Nem's awesome Southwest logo... thnx Nem!

Also, download my PMDG Southwest -700 config file... I added more accurate specifications for the cargo areas, and the correct
amount of PAX are available in the aircraft. It's not hard to find in the "more downloads" area. Also, as Dan mentioned this topic has
been discussed quite a bit already.... please use the forums search feature.
