I'm playing around with the maximum range I can do with Concorde because even at maximum range it lands with a lot of reserve fuel so I tried a flight of 4451nm and to give myself the best chance I started with 95.5 tonnes of fuel instead of the usual 93.5 tonnes. The flight report gave me a -300 penalty for dangerously exceeding the MTOW during take off so is there a way I can disable that? It's not listed in the more_option file and I've found a few old posts asking the same question and they were advised there isn't a way to disable the penalty but they are a few years old.
I'm not sure if I can take fewer passengers to remain under the MTOW because I have the weight disabled and am using a config file designed for the aircraft but am not sure how it works. A friend gave it to me and when I start a flight I move the sliders to load the passengers, crew and cargo but this doesn't change any weight value. I know how dangerous exceeding the MTOW is in the real world so FSPassengers is simulating this but it would be handy if I could disable it so I can experiment with longer flights and not get the -300 penalty if I take off with the tanks full to the brim.
Also, is there a penalty for landing with insufficiant fuel or if there is a low fuel warning?
