August 8, 201114 yr Good evening, Just my issue or somone else is experienced it? With 737-800WL (Ryanair) the total number of pax for the payload is 174 (would be 189 but it doesn't the problem consider that I'm fully satisfied by the amazing product) and if I use the "set full" button, the total % is set to 102,4% (pax 181/174) and with the "set empty" button the total % is set to 2,4% (7/174)! The solution (but only temprarly because every time I need to repeat the procedure) is to go into PMDG setup and change "Single Class" to "Dual Class" and then back to "Single Class". Any advice or possible solution? Thanks Roberto Consonni - LIME
August 9, 201114 yr Seen reports of the same issue here in the forums, but can't check myself at the moment as I'm at work.But it out of memory, can the number of Crew be specified somewhere? If not that could explain at least 4, but there would still be 3 that aren' explained.. Maybe 3 F/As in total instead of 2 and the two jumpseats? Oliver Schweizer
August 9, 201114 yr Author mmmmm..... we are talking about "payload" normally crew members and their baggages are considered into the Aircraft weight (DOW) for the weight & balance.... DOW + PAYLOAD = ZFW ----> ZFW + Fuel = TOW Really strange.... Roberto Consonni - LIME
August 9, 201114 yr This happens only of you load the plane not in cold & dark. The + 7 is the crew so full is 154 passengers + 7 crew members. In cathering you have to count for a full 737 the numbers of pax + the crew. The crew has a load so pmdg count it also in topcat of you set full plane the result is Max pax + 7 Marco Negri
August 9, 201114 yr Author Marco, I load the aircraft in Cold & Dark.... always....! As I said in my first post, that happen only with the single class..... if I set the Two class setup then everything, also the % is correct.... That's why I suppose a bug! However thanks for your replay... Roberto Consonni - LIME

I kind of skipped the whole Weight an Balance thing a bit in my FS career, knew it would come back to me some day :-D Oliver Schweizer

I always thought that the standard crew for a 737-800 consists of 6 people (2 pilots, 4 flight attendants). So, who's #7? A sky marshal?
