Bug in payload editor?

[Covoxer]

Hi all,

I guess I have encountered some kind of bug in payload editor.

Open payload editor.
Select any background image (just in case, it really doesn't change a thing).
Set the Station1 max seat to 26.
Save result with any name.

Open any other payload model, and then this new one again.
You may notice that all data fields are not updated including stickers position.

Can you reproduce this?

I found that this is the "magic" number 26 fault.
If you place it in other max seat field it will cause the similar issue, maybe with small differences.
Maybe there are some other "magic" numbers?

I have e-mailed Dan about it but he does not respond. After 2 messages.
I just don't know what does it mean.

if i read correctly, it works fine for me

opened payload
picked a picture
i set station 1 to 26
station 2 to 26
station 3 to 276
station 4 to 26

saved it as 'test'

reopened it, and all the stations are numbered for max seating as i input stated above.....

[Drew]

ah yes

reread, once i opened a different model, then back to the test, the results have changed

Drew, you have no time for this, practi(c/s)e your landings!

[Drew]

sorry boss, off i go to cras...... erm i mean attempt to land

[Dutch64]

After i completely reinstalled my pc and every software on it i can finally fly again tonight. Decided to make a ghost image of it all now, much
easier in case of another "problem"...

I can't! If you've seen my model you have to understand. I can't add a additional seat in the aisle or just remove one.
They should be 1:1 on the image and in the settings.
Besides, there is also a similar bug (but not with 26) that I have told Dan about (by e-mail)
And finally, how can one be sure that any other numbers are safe? Should I make a hard testing of every new model, vaste a day for
finding what's the reason of the trable in case it is (as it was with magic 26)?!
I need you Dan! I'm desperate!

Desperate, desperate...

That' kind of strange anyway

Don't expect a fast answer from Dan, he's sick (bad cold...)

Ah! I didn't know. Sorry.
That explains a lot.
Thanx.

Covoxer.
Outstanding piece of deduction. I had been driven to distraction trying to figure out why the payload model I had built for Jens
Kristensen's new DC-4M model kept defaulting to 368 pax in three classes with 10,000 lbs cargo instead of 26 pax forward and another
26 aft and 8050 lbs of cargo. Reduced the numbers to 25 fore and aft and the file saved and loads properly. Looks like 26 is indeed the
magic number, to be avoided in all payload models, wonder if there are any other 'bad' numbers waiting in the wings. Thanks for the
detective work.

(OT - Hope Dan gets better soon)

I have the same problme while reloading my new model :
The stations are not at the right position as well as the total weight and passengers number ?



Can anyone help ?
