I am trying to make a new model for my 737-700 Freeware addon - The 737 Experience. I took a screen shot loaded it into the model
editor and placed all the tags as per the help file. I set the passenger first got it centered and then the cargo. When i go to load it in msfs
everything is zeroed out??? what am i missing. no weights, no passengers nothing.
help me please. I am not a newb but this behooves me.
Secondly when naming the ini file, which line in the aircraft config is the one that fs passengers uses for naming. below is a copy of the config file my 737 - 700 is using . when i first loaded this plane into fs passengers it told me there was no weight and balance info, backed up my original and added stuff to the config file is this ok or do i have to modify it some.
the default 737-700 ini was off to the back so i deleted it completly so there would be less confusion. and now i am lost.
