e-diet/South Beach/Weightwatchers

[RonMac]

Can anyone advise on best diet for my passengers to start prior to amy of my flights.

I have to choose between passenegrs, baggage or fuel to a silly extent. Cant even get 737-800 from Heathrow ro Barcelona without
leaving passengers behind to get 1800 gal on board.

I cannot for the life of me make payload editor allow me any half decent CG, unless I was setting out to rival NASA with straight up pointy
at the sky 737.

I empty aircraft at start before starting flight. Makes no difference.

A300-200 similar problem.

Two briliant freeware aircraft that beat the hell out of default. So, how do I intergrate with Pssengers. Removing he load factor at ini level
kinda defeats the purpose as does leaving passenegrs at the gate.

Possibly try Jenny Craig...

[DanSteph]

can you post the aircrfat.cfg most probably empty weight mtow whatewer are wrongly set in those aircraft.

Dan,

As requested .cfg file.

I senrt this to Dutch (by mistake) and he maintains it was a great bed time read!

OK, I have had contact with Arjan, part creator of this 737-800, and he is looking into whole weight issue. Possibly a new .cfg file will be
in the offing...if so, with his permission, and it improves 737-800 I shall post on downloads.
