October 14, 200322 yr Hello,I have the PIC/POSKY merge with my El Al 767-200.Now it is all setup, do I just look at what the empty weight is in the aircraft.cfg and enter that as the ZFW in the FMC, or do I need to make one up, like people are doing with the IFDG 757.As it is smaller than the 300, I thought maybe, just entering the real empty weight that's in the cfg wouldn't be enough.Would it?Thanks.Alex.
October 14, 200322 yr Hi boyoIt wouldn't really matter what you entered as a ZFW as the FMC would 'think' you are a 763 and all it's calculations made as a result are for a 763. I don't know much about the 200 series so can't comment on how much the figures will differ.:-)
October 14, 200322 yr What I did was, after executing the POSKY 762 merge, was go into the aircraft cfg of the 762 and lower the 'empty weight' from by 22000lbs, which is a rough estimate of the difference in the ZFW's of the -300ER and -200ER series. So the 'empty_weight' (which is actually the same as the ZFW in PIC's case) in the cfg went from 245200 lbs to 223200 lbs. Then I just inputted the new ZFW into the FMC when I flew the -200. I can't comment on how accurate the numbers calculated by the FMC are for the -200 at that weight, but they're good enough for me.Ryan
October 15, 200322 yr HEY AGAIN.I can't get the merge by Lee Etherington to work now.I click the setup.bat and it says aircraft is not a valid folder of fs2002 or something similar.:(Alex.
