Hello Experts,
Hi I have been working on creating some payload models... Here is my current problem
that is arising... I
downloaded the 767 boeing model that Dan put up... I opened it with Macromedia Fireworks. I entered the bitmap
picture I wanted to use
the Pilatus Porter PC-6 for now. Trying to start small
Through Macromedia Fireworks I was able to enter the weight MAX weight, Empty weight, and Total Passengers...
I also put the pic I
wanted in.... Well once I was done with it. I used Corel Photo Paint and converted it to a *.jpg... After I did that I put
the *.jpg into the
fspassengers\payloadmodel folder....
Then I brought up the *.jpg no problem in the payload editor and created the *.ini file off of the info I had and did the
save... Ok so now I
load up the FS9 and It will tell me how many passengers are waiting and how much of a percentage of my aircraft
it is taking up... When
that part comes up it is excellent corillates with the info I inputted in the *.ini file... But then I receive an error stating
ERROR Unable to
load background image... Reversing to the default image... Ok well after that It does not bring up the default image
but seems to bring up
the *.ini info but will not allow any input or sliders to be moved...
Any Help Would Be Appreciated
Thanks,

LOL Guess the drinking paid off... Please Disreguard this msg... I do believe I am on my way to creating my own
payload managers... And If I can slowly get this perfected all my add-on planes I create will be available for others
to use...
P.S. Dan Thanks for the Boeing 767 that has gotten me started...
