"Stupid" Question on ZFW.

[brucek]

It's been that long since I flew PIC, that I can't recall the ZFW that the FMC uses. I tried looking for it in aircraft.cfg, but that didn't seem to work either. Where does PIC get that info from, the .cfg file or is it internally programmed? In any event, can someone please tell me the figure to use in the PIC FMC?Thanks,Bruce.

But everyone loves KG! LOL... I use 111.3 for the ZFW when set to use metric for weight.

Even though it should be 111.1?Daryl ShuttleworthDS 3339http://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

111.2 ZFW gives you a perfect burn using the FSBuild 2.0 planner and FSMeteo winds.But what do I know? I am just a low life from Canada that has nothing better to do with his spare time buy fly a simulator and drink myself to sleep on vast quantities of gin. I even get the perodical perverbial hand slap from fellow (p)hiss tanks, that think they know better, yet are just as much drunks and slobs as I am.We need a PIC on VATSIM event soon! Drunks unite!"Brap"..Going to sleep now,....
