Hi everyone, I have a quick question that I didn't see addressed in a search. Lets say I have just completed a flight from Airport A to Airport B. I am parked at the gate and I want to do another flight From Airport B to Airport C. If I loaded up the MD11 Load manager and recomputed a different load...Would I have to RESTART the Simulator?? Or can I just go ahead and start programing the FMS with the NEW figures?? Any help on this would be great!!! Capt Paul

Paul,if you're using FSX you can just open the load manager, enter the desired payload and then press "send to FSX". No restart or reloading required.However if you're using FS9 you'll have to reload the aircraft to get the new payload as the active one.Regards,Markus

Heya Paul, You can do that. I have many times, the data will be updated soon as you click send to FSX. Due to FSX starting to flake off though, and I am trying to simulate shuttle runs or Airport hopping, I usually just note the gate I finish at and reload fsx starting at that gate. Sometimes are better than others and I have done 4 or 5 back to back flights the way your wanting to.

Thanks guys...I should have specified I am using FS9 version of MD11....So define "Reload aircraft" for me...Is it a matter of just going Aircraft...Select Aircraft..reselect MD11...or would I first load a different airplane then reload the MD11...I am just trying to find a way (if their is one) where I don't have to exit out of all my add ons and restart the sim.Capt Paul

I would guess, END FLIGHT>ALT-TAB>LOADMANAGER>ALT-TAB>CREATE A FLIGHT>AIRCRAFT(Just check your gate # first)/ Leffe
