PMDG 737-800 Loading

[VJsus4]

I´ve recently bnought the 737-800 but I cant get it to work with Fspax, I have big troubles with all fuel and passangers loaders avalible.
Can someone give me the correct order, in wich the passangers and the fuel are loaded into this plane and with which program. How
shall the payload be set?

if only i had a Euro for each time this topic was asked

Have you downloaded the payload model from the download section?

If not, download and install that 1st.

then, (if you prefer to use the pmdg loader) open up the ini file of the payload model (start > programs > fspassengers > tools >
payload_editor) and you will see a little checkbox at the bottom saying 'disable position calculation' check this, and save

then you can use pmdg loader, still load up pax with the fsp payload, but the pax wont add any weight, so you wont have any problems

What I did was download every payload model for pmdg 737. In the pmdg load manager I have all the aircraft saved as empty. Then I start Active Sky 6
and set weather. Then create a flight with choosing aircraft, airport, time (and weather if you don't have Active Sky). Then I start fspassengers
flight choose payload model called 737-800 and load passengers, cargo and fuel there. I never had any problems so far.

i also use the fsp loader, and not run into any problems, but some people prefer the pmdg loader

So you guys mean I shall download the update, despite it says that it is for the 737-700? The PMDG editor is, by the manual, set to a specific value. It tells me to set the same, shall I ignore this or what? And the first fuel editor in the "Create A Flight Menu", shall I use that one anytime? And if I shall follow runibl´s example, should the "Disable position calculation" anyway be on?

the default payload model is just for 737 planes in general. The ones in the download area are made especially for the pmdg 737 thou
you can just use the default if u want.

ok to load (dont use the fs9 fuel loader, ignore that)

you have 2 options

Use the pmdg loader..... if you do this, you need to edit the payload model so the little box is checked

Use the Fsp payload to load - if you use this make sure the box is UNchecked

either way works fine (well for me) so its down to which loader you prefer

I think i'm using the default payload model, its called 737-800 and nothing else (I do have all the downloaded ones as well, never tried them).
If you follow my example, then the "Disable position calculation" should be off. And you use FsPassengers to load fuel, remember to load the wings
with fuel before loading the center tank.
