Flight sim loads some aircraft overweight. I am wondering if it's possible to get them empty, so that I can put in the fuel & payload I want rather than the default procedure of taking fuel & payload out?Thanks.TerryW

Terry, you can change this for any aircraft you have within FS when you pick your aircraft, or in each Aircraft.cfg file.Mind the center of gravity :-)

Thanks. I know I can change payload & fuel but I was wondering why some aircraft come overweight & some don't? Rather than have to change the loading after selection I'd rather get them empty & then load-up! I wondered if I could set this for fs as a whole? I will check airfiles for the overweight ones though. It wasn't until I checked the weight of sluggish aircraft that I found some were overweight.....!

>default procedure of taking fuel & payload outSorry, missed the meaning there..Yeah, I've wondered why myself... even found at least one over max with full wingtip tanks that it didn't have fitted.

Hi,You cannot save an aircraft with zero payload (I think that resets each time you load the plane), but you can save a flight with zero fuel an use that.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

I have a similiar question to ask, regarding center of balance. For most GA A/C, if you fly with a very small load, the weight is to the very front of the range of balance. Is that a real problem for actual flying conditions? I've adjusted most of my A/C .cfg files to show just my own weight and co-pilot, 155 & 110 lbs, and full fuel load.Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like -M.Twain
