I tried to load some passengers and this is what I was presented with. Am I OK to go with the Solution or will that cause more problems.

Warning: too many station points
This aircraft might cause problems in FS
Problem:
This aircraft has more than 30 station declarations in the aircraft.cfg. This is often used by the designer to simulate passenger weight
(one station per passenger), but in fact it has no real effect on the flight dynamics. It's also a well known cause of problems such as a
mysterious crash to desktop that might happen at various moments of a flight.
Solution:
Click on "Correct this aircraft and fly with it." FsPassengers will modify the Aircraft.cfg and remove the station points that might cause
problems. Once done, simply reload the aircraft and restart the FsPassengers flight.
This will not harm the aircraft in any way, if this add-on has a specific loader it will still be usable. (But not with FsPassengers which loads
the aircraft itself). Also before doing any changes FsPassengers backs up the original aircraft.cfg and renames it aircraft.cfg.back so it's
completely safe and easily undone if so desired.
More information about this: (scroll down)
In aircraft.cfg, common aircraft must usually have the following declaration:
max_number_of_stations = 50
[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
station_load.0 = "170.0, 41.0, -1.5, 0.0, Pilote"
station_load.1 = "170.0, 41.0, 1.5, 0.0, Copilote"
station_load.2 = "2800.0, 41.0, 1.5, 0.0, passengers"
station_load.3 ....etc. etc until 50 MAX
Microsoft has limited the max stations to 50 per aircraft but it's proven that adding more than 30 can cause problems. You can try one of
them: with an aircraft that has more stations than 30, go to aircraft->fuel and payload->modify payload change the weight of the first
station and click OK -> FS crash.
FS crashes due to the weight calculation because there are too many stations as this function might be called upon at various
unpredictable points of the flight, it is safer to remove them.
Notice that various aircraft loaders may again modify the aircraft.cfg so you might correct this aircraft each time you use it in
FsPassengers. If you later wish to load this aircraft with its own loader (if it has one), there will be no problems.
Any help would really be appreciated..
