Hey Tommy, If you fly the 744F Use Topcat for you calculations, it's free for the 744F but I would still suggest paying to unlock other aircraft.Anyway have a look at these links http://www.topcatsim.com/TOPCAT%20Aircraft...g%20747-400.pdfhttp://www.topcatsim.com/MLW 630000 pounds 285764kgEngine models are simulated if you own the Freight version.RegardsRob

Hey Rob,thx for your quick reply! :) I'm already using TOPCAT, nevertheless I want to know whether the PMDG B74F has really that MLW which is used by TOPCAT. In my v2.59 the B74F has a MLW of 302903kg which is above the official Boeing-limitations:http://www.boeing.com/commercial/startup/p...s/747f_perf.pdf

Airlines can pay for a higher MTOW not sure about MLW but I cant see why they cant pay for that too. PMDG uses 630000 pounds 285764kg but thats from memory, it's been a while since I flew the 744F Perhaps someone with the sim and documentation in front of them can confirm.RegardsRob

I own the sim and the documentation! :(But I cannot find anything about the "F" in the documentation! Maybe there is somebody of the "officials" who can confirm that ... :(

EDIT: I took a look into my aircraft.cfg and found the following weights:

[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]empty_weight = 363954.0 // Freightermax_gross_weight = 877000.0 // [+2000 for max ramp]max_landing_weight = 665900.0 // max_zerofuel_weight = 635000.0 //

I think this answered my question - but if I'm wrong, please correct me!
