I just purchased the -8i expansion pack and am looking to plan a flight for it.  The problem is, I can't seem to find a 747-8i template on PFPX.  Even worse, when I try to create a template for the -8i using the -400 preset, I can't edit the MTOW to 987000 without it automatically reverting to the -400 MTOW of 875000 lbs.  Can someone help me with this?  Thank you in advance.

You should probably just use the 747-400 profile in PFPX since the PMDG 747-8i expansion is ONLY an update to the visual model and therefore does not model the differences in flight characteristics between the -400 and -8i. Take a look at the section in red on the product page.
