Updated Payload Models [old thread]

[CODY614]

Well John if you own the Capt. Sim C-130......
Any way you could do one for that?..........Strait pax......Pax-Cargo mix......Cargo?
I really like what your doin'....It's made a big difference in the way I'm using my PMDG 737's!
Keep up the excellent work.

Thanx Jeff!

Sure I can. If I could only found any info about it's seating config. Besides, how should full cargo "seatmap" look
With no seats I guess?

Cheers!

Hey...Thanks for the response.
Well in the "ACE" thingy' where you set up the panel and lights...Etc.....In the payload-preflght section it shows what they consider the seating
arrangement(64 "Paratroopers"-92 "Groundtroops").....litter set up(64)....and cargo containers(3).With some spiffy little diagrams.
This would be a really cool thing, Cuz' the C-130 hauls so much and is such a specialty plane that you can charge more! Which means more money for
those stuggling lines!


Thanks.....

While we're on the subject, some folks might want to look at the long post I posted a couple of months ago (acutually one of several exchanges with
Dan on this subject I had). It includes some helpful info from Dan. It is specific to light GA traffic where consideration of seating needs to be as
accurate as possible for flight dynamics and the weight and balance of the pilot and co-pilot should be considered in the computation of the CG
(something FsP was not originally concerned with). Here is the link: http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/showth...p?tid=1349. I've built
payloads based on these models for the Flight1 C172, the DreamFleet A36 and Baron 58, and the Aeroworx Beech 200 based on this model. I have only
uploaded the B200 to date however because I didn't have time to do fancy graphics for the others. Models work great though.

Ooookay...

Since there's no one interested, I shall not push it.

Should I?

Well, you guys! With all your fart-arsin' around on the goods and bads of using the Payload Editor for your own aircraft configs; it appears that
the only fault I can find (which is when you bugger it up yourself) is ensuring that you just follow the instructions in the help file supplied,
together with a little extra ingenuity from within. I have configuered the Short Solent 4; the Short Empire C - Class and the Short Solent 3
flying boats okay and they fly fine in FSpassengers. I am at the moment using 6 different models of the Short Brothers flying boats and going back
to the 1930's to 50's flying long flights from England to Australia (11 days of flying) with up to 38 stops all told. These flights are daylight
flights only. Also some of the areas are WAR areas and I have been shot at and damaged quite severely a few times. The only problem I appear to
have with the configuration of the Payload Editor is that when loading the aircraft using the Payload Dialogue is that I can not get the Payload model
to open its drop down menu for these different aircraft. I will hopefully and eventually, nut it out. Incidentally, you guys out there! Who I
assume are mostly aged in there teens to mid 20's; I am a 79 year old veteran and just love this program. It keeps my mind alert, and yes the
adrenalin does still flow when in a jam.
So stop all your grouching guys and get into working your problems out yourselves as best you can.
Good flying to you all you GRUNTS out there.

Good for You Tigerlyons. Half-way round the world at 120 knots, cool. I did that marathon, from Croyden to Sydney via Paris, Rome,
Brindisi, Athens harbour, Alexandria, Bagdhad, Cawnpore, Rangoon, Singapore, Batavia and Darwin (and lots more stops in between)
using the Short L.17, two HP-42's (East and West varients), Short S.17 flying boat, AW.15 Atalanta, Fokker XII and Fokker VIIb3 all with
custom made and effective FsP payload models. Also amended the FsP config file to use 1930's dollars so that a broken brake line
didn't cost more than the price of a new aircraft in 1934. Took a couple of months to do the trip since cursed real life kept intruding. It
shows the adaptability and flexibility of FsP even if it does not do a particularly good job at replicating propliner economics or
breakdowns. FsP is still the best payware FS9 addition I've bought and indeed is the only one that remains on my hard drive. Am
currently planning the return trip (from Singapore to Southampton) in an Imperial Airways S.23 MR C Class boat in 1936 using the
Golden Wings 3 scenery pack.
I disabled the war zones though. Nobody messed with Imperial Airways in the thirties... Keep on flying the Classic's.
Cheers
