Making/editing INI FILE for FsPassengers
The process is really simple, you need an image of your aircraft, just look the previous post if you don't have one yet.
1-Launch the FsPassengers payload editor
First things to do is to launch the Payload model Editor click on window Start menu->FsPassengers->Tools/Payload_editor
all will be done with this program.
2-A brief presentation of the payload editor
The most useful here of course is the HELP bottom button that will open a complete help text, this post will contain
somes tips and hints and a basic tutorial but the HELP text of the payload model editor should be your your first reference.
The best to start to learn about the payload editor is to load others model to see how they are made, to do so
click on "Load existing ini file" button and choose a payload model.
The big image in the middle is your aircraft image as choosed by the top drop menu "Select a background"
the center frame allow you to set the number of payload station that your aircraft will have, the number of passengers,
the name of those station and the price range for economic mode. You must also set here the position of each station
relative to the Center of gravity of the aircraft.
The right top frame allow you to select the stickers that you want to move. Stickers are the weight information that you can see
on the aircraft's image. To move a sticker select it in this frame, click "Move it" button and use the mouse to drag the stickers
on the aircraft image.
The bottom right frame will give you some information about the CG wich will only be a hint at this stage, it will avoid
at least that you set wrong position and weight.
