It's not exactly "you must set 0 passengers and 0 cargo in PMDG load managers" ... because it would mean you have to do this before
using FSPassengers.
So you're right.
I like giving more details and repeating this because it's something many of you will care about as we did during the development. And it
applies to ALL add-ons aircrafts without exceptions.
No matter what is set in PMDG Load Manager (passengers and cargo), because it's directly set by FSP and the PMDG Load Manager will
be useless once FSPassengers is installed. You won't need it anymore.
About the fuel, we can repeat it another time. You can either :
- set the fuel by FSPassenger ... along passengers and cargo , all in the same FSPassengers Payload Manager
- set the fuel by an external fuel manager , like the one from Ross Carlson http://www.metacraft.com/737NGFP/ . THEN, you start
fspassengers, DO NOT touch the fuel setting in FSPassenger payload manager because FSPassenger read what is your current fuel
load and won't modify it until you touch this setting. And obvisouly, you need to compute your fuel amount before loading passengers, and
this enables FSPassengers to read the accurate amount you'll depart with too
using FSPassengers.
